See Every Detail of Your Espresso Extraction

Unlike traditional portafilters, the bottomless design exposes the espresso as it flows directly from the basket. This full visibility allows you to detect channeling, uneven extraction, and inconsistencies. It is ideal for both home baristas and professionals aiming for balanced flavor, rich crema, and improved precision in every shot.

Premium Wooden Handle and Solid Build

Crafted with a high-quality metal body and a natural wooden handle, this portafilter combines durability with comfort. The wooden handle provides a secure and ergonomic grip while adding a classic, premium look that complements La Pavoni lever machines. The open structure also makes cleaning easier by eliminating hidden areas where coffee residue can build up.

Designed for Precision and Control

This bottomless portafilter gives you full control over your espresso preparation. By observing the extraction, you can fine-tune grind size, tamping pressure, and brewing time. It is the perfect upgrade for users who want to take their espresso skills to the next level.
