Big Brother is watching... Well maybe not big brother but we do know Italian espresso machine parts manufacturers are with the introduction of OEM Factory Bottomless Portafilters. This OEM Bottomless Portafilter fits Astoria, RIO & Brasilia (NOT THE GRADISCA MODEL!) Espresso Machine Groups. The standard bottomless or naked portafilter features a clean precision cut and chrome job where a bottom and spout once resided. Taste
the difference this Portafilter can make. Our bottomless portafilters
are professionally machine milled to get the cleanest smoothest cut
possible. The Barista can watch the coffee brew right from the bottom
of the filter basket and now immediately if channeling occurs signaling
the user that a level tamp was not made which makes this an invaluable
tool for training. All true professional baristi and coffee geeks alike
should have one. Most Bottomless Portafilters will accept 21 gram
triple baskets since portafilter body depth is no longer an issue. This
item will come standard with a LM style triple basket (21 Gram) choose
your model below.
This is an item that has created quite a stir
in the specialty coffee hobby and trade. The Bottomless Portafilter has
been referred to as Naked and Crotch-less, but what ever you call it,
it is truly a revelation and an innovation and EspressoParts brought it
to you first. For
excellent information on trouble shooting or "Perfecting the Naked
Portafilter Extraction" read the article of the same title on
Home-Barista.com Caution: This particular Naked Portafilter has been produced by an espresso machine parts manufacturer, the inside is chromed all the way through and the bottom edge is very precise and can be relatively sharp. |
