Bezzera E61 bottomless portafilter – rosewood
The espresso wells up from the open bottom of the portafilter, unbroken and glossy, while the warm rosewood handle rests in your hand. A bottomless portafilter that shows the extraction — and looks really good doing it.
What makes this portafilter special
This bottomless portafilter for the classic E61 brew group is crafted from high-quality chrome-plated brass and fitted with a handle made of Brazilian rosewood. Because the bottom is open, you see the shot unfiltered: an even, honey-like flow signals a clean extraction, while spurts or an uneven stream point to channeling. That makes the portafilter the most honest teacher when you're dialling in.
Basket choice noticeably changes the aroma profile – a precise basket brings more clarity to the cup. That's our observation, one of many.

From our coffee roastery: a bottomless portafilter shows most beautifully how densely a shot flows. Full-bodied profiles like Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight build a lovely, even crema — our recommendation for the vast majority. If you're after fruit, try Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
