Take your espresso preparation to the next level with the Normcore 58mm Bottomless Portafilter for La Marzocco. Designed for home baristas and professionals alike, the bottomless (naked) design exposes the filter basket during extraction, allowing you to observe espresso flow in real time and identify issues such as channeling, uneven distribution, or incorrect grind size.

Compatible with all La Marzocco 58mm group heads, this premium portafilter is manufactured from durable 304 stainless steel and features a precision-machined anodized aluminium handle for a comfortable and secure grip. Included is a high-quality 18g double-shot basket, making it ready to use straight out of the box.

Why Use a Bottomless Portafilter?

A bottomless portafilter provides immediate visual feedback during extraction. Uneven flow, spurting, or channeling can indicate issues with puck preparation, allowing you to make adjustments and improve your espresso quality over time.

Note: Channeling and occasional spurting are common when using a bottomless portafilter and are not defects. They are valuable indicators that adjustments may be required to your grind size, distribution, tamping technique, or dose.
