Portafilter Spring (INOX) – Stainless Steel Replacement Spring That Holds the Basket
A small part with a clear job: the spring clamps the basket securely in the portafilter so it doesn't fall out when knocking out the puck or rinsing.
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 weaken or go missing – a new stainless steel spring restores that firm hold, so the basket stays put when you knock out the puck. Made from rust-resistant stainless steel, it stands up to everyday 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.
