Portafilter spring (INOX) – stainless steel replacement spring that holds the basket in place
A small part with one clear job: the spring clamps the basket securely into the portafilter, so it doesn't fall out when you knock it out or rinse it.
A stainless steel (INOX) replacement spring for the portafilter.
What the spring does
Inside the portafilter, a circular spring holds the basket (the filter insert) firmly in place. Over time it can lose tension or go missing – a new stainless steel spring restores that firm hold, so the basket sits securely when you knock it out. Made from stainless steel, it stands up to daily moisture and heat.
Small spare parts keep your setup in shape for the long run – that's part of a relaxed espresso routine. Our opinion is one of many.

Tip from our coffee roastery
