Why upgrade your portafilter?
A portafilter is the barista tool you attach to the brew group of your machine. It’s also known as a coffee machine handle or a group handle.
When you buy a new espresso machine, you always receive a portafilter as well. Because of this, you might not immediately think of buying a new one. Makes sense.
Yet a good portafilter makes a substantial difference in the taste of your coffee. This has 2 reasons:
1. Plastic inlays. Are you using a standard portafilter? Then take out your filter basket and check the inside of the cup, near the spout.
This is where many portafilters have a plastic insert. This piece of plastic is not only unnecessary, but also a warm, damp home for coffee residue that gets left in your portafilter.
2. Unergonomic handles. A handle with a weird design that is uncomfortable in your hand makes making espresso at home more difficult than it should be. We’re allergic to stuff like that.
A Portafilter designed for Home Baristas
During the extensive research phase, we tested numerous materials and types of portafilters to make the very best choice.
