FAQs About Coffee Portafilters

1. What is a coffee portafilter, and why does it matter?
A portafilter holds your coffee grounds during brewing. The right portafilter ensures even water flow, proper pressure, and a well-extracted shot. Think of it as the bridge between your espresso machine and that perfect cup.

2. What types of portafilters are available?

• Bottomless Portafilters – Great for diagnosing your technique and maximising crema.
• Spouted Portafilters – Ideal for cleaner, more controlled pours.
• Pressurised Portafilters – Perfect for beginners, adding a little extra extraction help.

3. What’s the benefit of a bottomless portafilter?
A bottomless portafilter removes the spout, giving you a direct view of your extraction. It helps identify uneven tamping, grind issues, and channelling so you can perfect your technique. Plus, it makes for some seriously Instagram-worthy shots.

4. Will these portafilters fit my espresso machine?
We offer portafilters in various sizes to fit popular espresso machines. Check your machine’s group head size before choosing.

5. Is a pressurised portafilter better for beginners?
Yes! A pressurised portafilter compensates for grind size inconsistencies, making it easier to get a good shot with less precision. It’s a great option if you’re still dialling in your espresso game.
