51mm Bottomless Portafilter – Naked Espresso Handle with Filter Basket for Your Coffee Machine

Description

• This bottomless portafilter showcases an open design devoid of spouts or base plates beneath the basket, revealing the entire filter basket’s surface during extraction. As you pull a shot, you can observe the coffee flow, crema formation, and the distribution of the extraction column. The unobstructed view enables you to check for channeling, uneven flow, or gaps in the puck before the shot concludes. This assists in adjusting grind or tamping for your next attempt.
• The handle is crafted from aluminium with a sleek black finish, while the removable basket is constructed from stainless steel. Aluminium is rust-resistant and lighter than brass or steel alternatives. The handle features a two-ear fitting that locks into the machine group head with a quarter turn. To install, align the ears with the group head slots, insert, and twist the handle to the right until it locks. For removal, simply twist to the left and pull down. No tools are required.
• This portafilter is compatible with multiple 51mm espresso machines. The basket size corresponds to machines employing a 51mm diameter filter. The ears are positioned for standard group head fittings, allowing the handle to fit most home espresso machines of the same basket size, including popular brands. The portafilter can be utilised across various machines as long as the basket diameter and ear size align. Its removable basket lets you use your preferred basket type.
• The basket is fashioned from stainless steel, featuring precision-cut holes for even water distribution. Its surface does not absorb coffee oils, preventing flavour retention between shots. Cleaning the basket is easy—just rinse it under hot water after each use. The portafilter body has a smooth surface that resists trapping coffee grounds, and the open design ensures there are no crevices at the base for grounds or oils to accumulate over time.
• The portafilter measures 51mm in diameter at the basket. The handle length is similar to standard portafilters, fitting comfortably under the group head without colliding with the drip tray on most machines. The aluminium body reduces overall weight compared to brass handles. The package includes the portafilter body and a stainless steel basket that fits securely without rotating or shifting during use. Please note, the handle is not compatible with pressurised baskets featuring a spring-loaded base.
