E61 Group Bottomless Portafilter

E61 Group Bottomless (Naked) Portafilter

This precision-cut bottomless portafilter lets you watch the extraction happen in real time, showing channeling and uneven tamps the instant they occur, a training staple across the specialty coffee industry, not just for professional baristas but home enthusiasts too. Ships standard with a 21 gram basket, chrome-finished over a brass body.

INSTALLATION

A simple drop-in swap for your existing portafilter handle, but always measure your ears against your machine first, Isomac, Giotto, Elektra, Expobar, and ECM machines use E61-"style" groups that are cast slightly differently and won't accept this portafilter (try this Wega bottomless portafilter instead for those models).
