Wood Bottomless Portafilter

A bottomless portafilter is primarily a diagnostic tool. By exposing the bottom of the filter basket, it allows you to see exactly how your espresso is extracting, making it much easier to identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping that you wouldn't notice with a standard spouted portafilter.

This portafilter is available in two specific sizes: 53mm for A53 and La Spaziale machines, and 58mm for standard E61 group heads. Please verify your machine's group head size before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

The handle is hand-finished, so it's best to avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as high heat and prolonged moisture can damage the wood. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to keep it in good condition.
