Collection: Portafilters

Why a Portafilter Matters

The secret to a great espresso shot starts at the portafilter. A well‑designed portafilter holds your puck firmly, delivers stable temperature, and lets you see exactly how your shot is extracting - so you can move from guesswork to control.

The portafilter is the bridge between your grinder and espresso machine, locking in the basket where water meets the coffee puck under pressure. A good portafilter supports even extraction, better crema, and repeatable results by keeping heat and flow consistent.
Upgrading from stock or pressurised options to quality bottomless or spouted portafilters gives you more feedback, more flavour clarity, and more room to grow your skills.

Why Choose Coffee Plus Portafilters

The Coffee Plus portafilter collection focuses on fit, feel, and performance - not just looks. You’ll find precisely machined bodies with comfortable handles that sit naturally in the hand and balance well on the counter.
Options include bottomless (naked) portafilters for visual feedback, classic spouted models for clean service, and machine‑specific designs that match popular home and prosumer espresso machines.
From the unique 57mm sizing for Lelit Anna machines to standard 58mm E61 groups found on the Lelit Victoria, we have the perfect match.

Bottomless vs Spouted: Choose Your Style

Bottomless portafilters expose the base of the basket so you can see the full extraction, making channeling and uneven flow instantly visible and helping you diagnose grind, distribution, and tamping issues.
Spouted portafilters remain the most practical option for splitting shots into two cups and for cleaner, more contained extractions, especially in fast‑paced or beginner setups where reduced mess and easy portioning matter.

Built for Compatibility and Durability

This range covers popular diameters like 58 mm and 51–53 mm with models made for E61 groups, La Marzocco, Breville‑style machines, and levers like Flair, so you can match your exact machine.
High‑quality metal bodies and solid wood or ergonomic handles are built to handle daily locking‑in and back‑to‑back shots while staying comfortable to use and easy to clean.

Whether you need the best budget portafilter under 3000 or a luxury wood-grain handle, we offer IMS precision basket compatibility across the range. Even specific sizes like 54mm for Dalla Corte machines are available.

How to use your Portafilter

Prep and locking in

Dry and warm the portafilter before grinding to avoid temperature shocks that can affect extraction.
Grind directly into the basket, distribute and tamp evenly, then wipe the rim clean so the group gasket can seal properly.
Lock the portafilter firmly into the group head, aiming for a smooth, snug fit without over‑tightening.

Reading your extraction (bottomless)

With a bottomless portafilter, start the shot and watch the first drops form in the centre and merge into a single stream.
Sprays, multiple streams, or flow from one side usually point to distribution, grind, or tamping issues, giving you clear feedback on what to fix next.
