The BUCK™ is a naked portafilter made from a block of forged, machined and polished stainless steel. Similar to the Unifilter, it is designed to lay flat on the countertop, eliminating the awkward hanging over the edge when tamping like traditional portafilters. Available in two handle styles, both the FKM rubber and solid teak handles have a solid stainless steel core, giving it the weight and strength to last a lifetime. Although the BUCK is optimized for use with any Unibasket™ size, it will work with all standard 58mm screens.
materials
The BUCK™ is made from a single block of forged, machined and polished stainless steel. The handle core is made of solid stainless steel and runs the entire length of the handle.
Handles
All handles have a solid stainless steel core, giving them weight and durability. This is covered with either a thick FKM rubber sleeve or a hollowed out solid piece of teak that has been sanded and treated with a VOC-free oil that will patina over the years like a fine piece of Danish furniture. Both are built to last a lifetime.
Included in the package
1 BUCK, with either FKM rubber or teak handle.
1 portafilter retaining spring, optimized for Unibasket™
