Bottomless portafilter as a diagnostic tool

Making espresso with a bottomless portafilter (or naked portafilter) teaches you a lot about your extraction, if you know what signs to look for.

This is because a bottomless portafilter exposes the underside of the filter basket, unlike a classic double-spout portafilter.

Here are some of the problems you can spot with a bottomless portafilter:

  • Channelling (an uneven extraction)
  • Donut extraction
  • Overextraction
  • Underextraction
  • Uneven tamp

We recommend bottomless portafilters for home baristas who want to improve their espresso, or who suffer a frequent problem.

Note: Using a bottomless portafilter properly does require some time and attention. How exactly to do this is read below.

How to use a bottomless portafilter

A bottomless portafilter is a handy and fun tool to experiment with. We do recommend that you first master making espresso with a regular portafilter before venturing into this upgrade.

Some things to bear in mind when using your naked portafilter:

  • Always use freshly roasted coffee, ground just before you brew your espresso.
  • Use the basic recipe: 18 grams espresso grounds in, 36 grams espresso out in 25-30 seconds. You’ll need a coffee scale to measure this,

Erg blij mee

Mooie portafilter van goede kwaliteit. Een flinke vooruitgang ten opzichte van de standaard portafilter van Sage. Gebruik hem in combinatie met de Sage Bambino.
