Flair 58 mm E61 bottomless portafilter – light wood
There's nothing under the portafilter – no spout to obstruct your view. You'll see the first dark drop emerge, the stream converging into an espresso column, and any uneven spots in the puck immediately reveal themselves. The bottomless portafilter provides the most honest feedback on your puck preparation, and the light wood handle feels warm in your hand.
Coffee Coaching Club is an importer of Flair Espresso. This 58 mm portafilter with E61 bayonet has a bottomless design and comes with a basket – made for espresso machines with an E61 group head in the 58 mm standard.
What a naked portafilter offers
A naked portafilter removes the spout, providing a clear view of the bottom of the puck. You'll immediately recognise channelling – i.e., preferential water paths – by bright splashes or uneven flow. This makes it a diagnostic tool for distribution and tamping: those who prepare properly will get an even, centred flow and, ultimately, a round crema. The light wood handle is an aesthetic detail with a good grip.

Who it's for
For anyone with an E61 machine who wants to see and improve their puck preparation – and for anyone who likes the warm wood handle on their setup. The same portafilter is also available with a walnut handle.
What goes with it
For clean distribution, a WDT tool and a 58 mm tamper from the Normcore Collection or from Weber Workshops. A grinder from our coffee grinder collection gives you the right grind size. Plus fresh beans from our coffee roastery. You will find cleaning products in the cleaning collection.

Frequently asked questions
Which machines does the Flair 58 mm bottomless portafilter (light wood) fit?
On espresso machines with an E61 group head in the 58 mm standard. If in doubt, send us a photo of your current group head and we'll check the design.
Does the bottomless portafilter come with a basket?
Yes, the portafilter comes with a basket.
Why a bottomless portafilter instead of one with a spout?
The naked portafilter reveals the bottom of the puck and makes channelling visible. This way, you immediately see if distribution and tamping were even.
Roastery tip
The naked portafilter is great for seeing how evenly a bean extracts. With dense roasts like Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, you'll get a smooth, centred flow. This is our recommendation, one of many.
