A portafilter with spouts shows you the result; a bottomless one shows you the way there. You see where the water comes through first, whether the puck opens evenly, when the flow tips over. None of this is a rule – it's simply more information, and what you do with it is up to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBasket, design and what it does to the taste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the box is an ECM IMS precision basket for 20 to 22 grams. That's the real statement of this portafilter. The choice of basket changes the flavour profile fundamentally: hole pattern, hole diameter and the evenness of the perforation help decide how the water spreads through the puck and which compounds are extracted in which order. A precision basket has tighter manufacturing tolerances than a standard basket, and that shows above all in the first seconds, while the puck settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA basket for 20 to 22 grams is a generous format. Espresso is described by weight ratio, for us usually below 1:2 – so 21 grams turn into less than 42 grams in the glass. That gives a dense, full shot with plenty of body. If you prefer a smaller dose, reach for a different basket; the portafilter takes anything that fits in the basket seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's bottomless and angled, the look is carbon and picks up the design of the ECM Edition No.1. Nobody needs this portafilter to pull good espresso. You want it – or you don't, and both are fine. Our opinion is one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottomless, angled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBasket included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eECM IMS precision basket for 20 to 22 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLook\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon, design of the ECM Edition No.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eECM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89441\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's made for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone who wants to see what happens in the basket – and for everyone who simply likes how it looks under the group. Both reasons are completely legitimate. Bottomless extraction is a learning tool, not an exam: it shows you how your distribution and your tamping come across, and gives you a clue where to start next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note: without spouts, it spits when the puck opens unevenly. That's part of switching over and settles down as soon as distribution and grind size suit each other. No shot can be replicated – beans, humidity and people change every day. That's not a limitation, that's the beauty of it.
