Premium Bottomless & Spouted Portafilters for the Perfect Espresso

A high-quality portafilter is the key to crafting café-level espresso at home. Whether you're looking for a bottomless portafilter to refine your technique or a spouted portafilter for clean, consistent shots, our collection has the perfect option for your machine.

Why Upgrade Your Portafilter?

Your portafilter plays a crucial role in espresso extraction, impacting crema quality, flavour, and consistency. Many stock portafilters limit performance, leading to uneven extractions and weaker coffee. Upgrading to a precision-engineered bottomless or spouted portafilter ensures better flow control, richer espresso, and improved shot consistency.

Bottomless Portafilter vs. Spouted Portafilter – Which One Suits You?

Bottomless Portafilter – The best choice for home baristas who want to fine-tune their espresso-making skills. A bottomless portafilter lets you see how your shot is pulling, helping identify grind, distribution, and tamping issues. It also produces a thicker, richer crema and a more intense espresso flavour. Pairing a bottomless portafilter with a Brewedco XT basket enhances extraction even further, allowing for a more even and consistent shot.

Spouted Portafilter – A classic option for those who prefer clean, controlled espresso shots. A spouted portafilter channels espresso smoothly into one or two cups, reducing mess and ensuring a consistent, balanced extraction. It’s ideal for anyone who values traditional espresso-making.

Choosing the Right Portafilter

When selecting a portafilter for your espresso machine, consider:

  • Portafilter Size – Standard sizes include 58mm portafilters (for machines like E61, Breville Dual Boiler) and 54mm portafilters (for Breville Barista Express, Bambino, and similar models).
  • Material & Build – A stainless steel portafilter provides better heat retention and durability.
  • Handle Design – Look for a comfortable, ergonomic handle to improve control.
  • Compatibility – Ensure the bottomless portafilter or spouted portafilter fits your machine perfectly.

Questions We Get Asked About Portafilters

Portafilters are more than just a handle—they’re a crucial element in your espresso-making process. They hold the finely ground coffee securely in the basket and fit snugly into your espresso machine’s group head, ensuring that high-pressure water extracts all the rich flavors from your coffee. Whether you’re a home barista or a professional, understanding your portafilter is key to brewing consistently excellent espresso.

What is a portafilter, and why is it important in espresso making?

A portafilter, short for "portable filter," is a component of espresso machines that holds the ground coffee during the brewing process. It plays a crucial role in ensuring proper extraction and directly affects the quality of your espresso.

What's the difference between a bottomless (naked) portafilter and a spouted portafilter?

A bottomless portafilter lacks spouts, allowing you to observe the espresso extraction directly. This visibility helps in diagnosing extraction issues and refining your technique. A spouted portafilter, on the other hand, has one or two spouts that direct the flow of espresso into cups, reducing mess and making it suitable for brewing multiple shots simultaneously.​

How do I choose the right portafilter for my espresso machine?

Selecting the correct portafilter depends on your machine's compatibility and your brewing preferences. Ensure the portafilter's size matches your machine's group head (commonly 58mm or 54mm). Additionally, decide between bottomless or spouted designs based on whether you prioritize technique refinement or convenience.
