La Marzocco Bottomless Portafilter – original naked portafilter L111/X.01
Without spouts you see what happens in the basket: the espresso emerges straight from the bottom of the basket, first in single drops, then as one calm, dense stream.
This is the original La Marzocco portafilter with part number L111/X.01 for the 58 mm groups of the La Marzocco home machines. It is supplied without a basket, so you combine it with the basket of your choice.
What you see in the stream is a hint, not a verdict. What counts is the taste in the cup and the brew ratio, with 1:2 as a starting point. Our opinion is one of many: some pull every espresso bottomless, others use it only to check the distribution now and then.

Frequently asked questions
What is a bottomless portafilter good for?

Tip from the roastery: Bottomless, you see how evenly a coffee extracts. We recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, full-bodied with chocolate and nut. If you want maximum body without acidity, take Very Nutty. For the curious: Wild Peach, fruity and lively. This is our recommendation, one of many.
