Blind filter

Fresh machine, full flavour

After every espresso you pull, coffee residue is left behind on the group head. Because everything is hot, that residue dries quickly.

Do that day after day and I (Jasper) promise you’ll taste it in your coffee. Don’t ask how I know. 😉

A solid cleaning routine is essential for great espresso. And the blind filter is tool number one.

Use it to backflush your machine weekly and flush out built-up coffee oils. Better for your espresso, and better for your machine.

Small tool, big impact

At Barista-Essentials, we continuously research the best barista tools — both in the Netherlands and beyond.

And if the right tool doesn’t exist yet? We design it ourselves. So you get reliable tools that actually help you brew better coffee at home.

What makes our blind filters stand out:

• 100% stainless steel, more durable than plastic inserts (yes, we’re looking at you, Sage)
• Precise fit for your portafilter
• Available in two sizes (54 mm / 58 mm)

Our blind filters are available in two sizes, suitable for the following machines:

54 mm: Sage Barista Express, Sage Barista Pro, Sage Barista Touch, Sage Bambino, Solis Grind & Infuse Pro, Breville Barista Express.

Maintenance tip: In addition to weekly backflushing, we recommend giving your machine a deeper clean every three months using a blind filter and espresso machine cleaning powder .
