Whether you’re looking for an upgrade to the flimsy stock items your entry-level espresso machine came with or a matching set of espresso items for aesthetic purposes, Presso has an attractive and affordable option for you. These portafilters are sturdily built and feature stylish wooden handles sure to bring some elegance to your home or commercial espresso setup.

While build quality is less relevant as far as the taste of your coffee itself goes, in the world of espresso caring about aesthetics is perfectly valid. Presso offers two kinds of stylish bottomless portafilters, one specifically designed for the Gaggia Classic, and one that’s compatible with any espresso machine, domestic or otherwise, that sports an E61 grouphead. Bottomless portafilters, as the name implies, lack spouts. They’re the kind you might have seen in an overly-produced Instagram video, and while we agree that there’s something undeniably captivating about the way they look in action, their intended purpose is far more practical. 

Bottomless portafilters make it easy to identify channelling or other signs of uneven extraction visually, which makes them invaluable tools for any barista, professional or hobbyist, trying to “debug” their shots. Heads up though: a particularly poorly prepped puck  might even spray you when you’re pulling your shot. To avoid this, consider picking up some other puck prep paraphernalia.
