Bezzera BZ Group Portafilter – Bottomless Design, Rosewood
The espresso wells up from the open bottom of the basket, 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 BZ brew group – Bezzera's electrically heated group – is crafted from high-quality chrome-plated brass and fitted with a handle in Brazilian rosewood. Because the bottom is open, you see the shot unfiltered: an even, honey-like flow signals a clean extraction, while splashes or a lopsided stream point to channeling.
The choice of basket noticeably changes the aroma profile – a precision 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 majority. Anyone after fruit tries Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
