Description

The La Marzocco Bottomless Portafilter removes the spout barrier between basket and cup, letting you watch espresso extraction in real-time. This visibility transforms how you dial in shots — channeling, uneven flow, and puck prep issues become immediately obvious. Built from chrome-plated brass with La Marzocco's signature comfort-grip handle, this tool is as durable as it is diagnostic.

Key Features

  • Chrome-plated brass construction for durability and heat retention
  • Ergonomic comfort-grip handle matches La Marzocco machine aesthetics
  • Compatible with all La Marzocco home and commercial espresso machines
  • Accepts standard 58mm baskets (VST precision baskets recommended)
  • Exposes extraction flaws: channeling, uneven tamping, improper dosing
  • Direct visual feedback accelerates dialing-in workflow

Whether you're refining puck prep or simply enjoy the theater of a naked shot, this portafilter pairs perfectly with Clive's espresso education resources and machine support.

Reviews

Customers praised this bottomless portafilter as "essential" for improving espresso technique. It helps visualize extraction defects and check tamping pressure. Shoppers noted "excellent" quality and comfortable grip. Some mentioned it should be included with the machine given the price point.

  • Essential to seeing extraction defects. I use this daily and I don't think I'll ever go back.
  • Great for showing me how well I'm pulling a shot.
  • Excellent, it handles great, nice grip.

Essential kit!

Shame that this wasn’t included with the Linea Mini (did I really need 5 types of baskets?) but this is essential to seeing extraction defects. I use this daily with the stock 21g basket and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the standard double spot filter. Also, this gives a little extra space for a larger cup.

Works great—too bad they don’t

Works great—too bad they don’t have it included or an option at purchase considering the price of the machine. The original portafilter that came with the machine broke in 1-year—that’s why I got this one!

This is great for showing

This is great for showing me how well I'm pulling a shot. I've seen where adjustments needed to be made (along with my Acaia scale). Finally getting a feel for this! Also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my La Marzocco Linea Mini and Lucca 75 grinder!
