Baratza Portaholder
Best metal upgrade for hands-free espresso grinding on compatible flat-burr machines.
This heavy-duty upgrade transforms your flat burr grinder into a hands-free, portafilter-ready station. It streamlines your morning workflow for a more tactile experience, though you will have to trade the convenience of built-in weight-based dosing for a more manual, barista-style approach.
