Bottomless Portafilter vs Regular Portafilters:

The regular portafilter bottom has a double metal base with spouts from which coffee flows into the cup through a metal funnel. Bottomless portafilters without baskets are metal rings, so the espresso channel through the puck does not collide with additional obstacles and goes straight into the cup. An unobstructed view of the fluid flow is the main advantage of choosing this accessory, allowing you to trace the entire water flow cycle. In this way, you can improve your espresso technique.

Moreover, the bottomless naked portafilter allows you to get a more vivid taste, colour, and aroma of your espresso, thanks to the more coffee you can pour into it. Bottomless portafilters provide a syrup-like liquid texture and more crema, retaining more coffee puck substances.

Are Bottomless Portafilters Better?

A bottomless portafilter is an innovation that helps to create coffee masterpieces. The pinnacle of excellence in espresso techniques is a drink that not only looks good but tastes perfect as well. Correct grind, ideal dosage, excellent tempering, coffee beans' roasting, water pressure, and temperature help create a high-quality working material for bottomless portafilters. 

The magic of the naked bottomless portafilter comes as water passes through the puck, turning into a smooth coffee. The espresso is channelling into a single stream and flows into the cup, forming "tiger stripes" at the bottom of the holder. Using a regular portafilter does not allow you to trace these nuances. In turn, the bottomless holder demonstrates the creamy and firmness of the espresso. So, it is not only a significant accessory for training and testing baristas but also a great way to enjoy the sight of a new coffee.

How to Use Bottomless Portafilters?

If you think that the bottomless portafilter will be more challenging in use, it is the right time to change your mind as utilising the naked holder is no different from regular. While many beginners are confused by the abundance of nuances of espresso colour and texture, gaining a valuable skill comes with experience. We encourage checking out thematic coffee blog articles where experts go into the extraction and channelling processes in detail and offer helpful advice on how to improve barista’s technique. For example, espresso bottomless portafilter for Gaggia Classic is an indispensable skill-building tool. Although the lack of spouts makes it possible to make only one coffee cup, cleaning the naked portafilter is much easier than the regular one.

The accessory allows you to determine precisely where you might have made a mistake in preparing the coffee puck.
