Bezzera Bottomless Portafilter BZ Group
The espresso gushes openly from the bottom of the sieve, undivided and shiny, and you watch the extraction in real-time. That's exactly what makes a bottomless portafilter so appealing – it shows you what's really happening.
What makes this portafilter special
This bottomless portafilter for the BZ brewing group – Bezzera's electrically heated group – is made of high-quality chrome-plated brass and features a black handle. Because the bottom is open, you see the shot unfiltered: A steady, honey-like flow indicates a clean extraction, while splatters or uneven flow suggest channeling.
The choice of basket noticeably changes the aroma profile – a precise basket brings more clarity to the cup. This is our observation, one of many.

From our coffee roastery: A bottomless portafilter best shows how densely a shot flows. Full-bodied profiles like Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight build a beautiful, even crema, our recommendation for the vast majority. If you're looking for fruit, try Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
