Bottomless Portafilter with Filter Basket for CASABREWS Espresso Machines

A Closer Look at the Bottomless Portafilter: Enhancing Your Espresso Experience

The bottomless portafilter is a must-have accessory for coffee enthusiasts seeking to elevate their espresso brewing game. Designed to fit baskets with a 51mm diameter, this three-ear portafilter is compatible with the CASABREWS CM5418 and 3700 Series machines.

One of the key features of this portafilter is its ability to provide a clear view of the extraction process. By using a bottomless design, you can observe the flow of the espresso more intuitively, allowing you to identify and address any issues with your extraction. This visibility is a valuable asset in the pursuit of the perfect shot.

Accompanying the portafilter are several accessories, including a double cup filter basket and a 51mm espresso puck screen. The puck screen plays a crucial role in preventing coffee grounds from sticking to the espresso machine's brewing head, keeping it clean and efficient.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the portafilter head is cast in food-grade stainless steel and polished to a high shine. The solid wood handle, with its ergonomic design, ensures a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise manual control during the brewing process.

To achieve the best results with this bottomless portafilter, it's essential to follow a few key tips:

1. Use fresh coffee beans or ground coffee. Adjust the grinder setting to a finer setting or choose a finer ground coffee to ensure optimal pressure during extraction.

2. Measure out 14g (0.49oz) of ground coffee for a double espresso shot. This precise dose helps to balance the flavors and create a well-extracted shot.

3. Utilize the WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool to break up any clumps in the ground coffee. This helps to reduce channeling and spurting during extraction, leading to a more consistent flow.

4. Tamp the ground coffee evenly, ensuring that the water does not favor one side of the puck, which can result in uneven extraction.

5. Remember to place the puck screen before brewing to maintain a clean and efficient brewing head.

It's important to note that using a bottomless portafilter may require some experimentation to achieve the perfect shot. Be patient and adjust your technique as needed, as the increased visibility can help you identify and correct any extraction issues.

Please note that while our portafilters are designed to fit snugly into the group head of the CASABREWS CM5418 and 3700 Series machines, the exact fit may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. We suggest confirming the position and thickness of the ears on your specific portafilter before making a purchase. The thickness of the ears on this model is 4.4mm.
