La Marzocco Naked Portafilter – A Bottomless Design for Extraction Control
Original La Marzocco bottomless portafilter (Naked / Bottomless) for machines with the 58 mm standard. Unlike a closed portafilter with a spout, it has no bottom – you see the shot directly at the basket and spot channeling, uneven distribution or a lopsided extraction right away. A direct, honest tool to improve your puck prep step by step. Delivered without filter basket and spring.
Who the bottomless portafilter is for
The Naked Portafilter is for anyone who doesn't just want to drink their espresso, but understand it – whether you're just starting to experiment with distribution and tamping, or you've been refining your extraction for years. There's no right or wrong when looking at the open portafilter, only the question of what you see and what you make of it. Anyone who works day to day with a La Marzocco machine on the 58 mm portafilter standard and wants to learn more about their own shot finds a simple, direct tool here. Our opinion is one of many – some swear by the bottomless view every day, others pull most of their espresso with the closed portafilter and reach for the Naked Portafilter only now and then, to check the distribution.
