This is a high-quality, generic naked portafilter - made in Milan Italy.
Made from chrome coated, solid brass for maximum heat stability and includes an 18-21 gram basket. Not an original manufacturer's part but will fit your machine and perform the same way.
Naked portafilters help you to extract the best shot possible. It helps to control and diagnose the extraction of espresso shots and assures a pure espresso with a great crema.
It's an amazing espresso accessory for training, as it exposes channelling. Channelling occurs when coffee grounds are not evenly distributed or properly compressed.
Excellent after-market accessory at a fraction of the price of the OEM part. (Fits better than the OEM spouted portafilter!). Great service from Blue Star.
