54mm Magnetic Aluminum Espresso Dosing Funnel for 54mm Portafilter

Fits my breville 54mm portafilter perfectly, works great. Like folks mentioned, the magnet is not strong but I think that's ideal: comes on and off easily; strong enough to hold in place while grinding and weak enough to snap right off before brewing.

This dosing funnel works exactly as it should. The magnets hold it securely on the portafilter, and it stays in place even during WDT and dosing. It’s lightweight but still feels well made, and it has dramatically reduced coffee grounds spilling all over my counter. Ive been using it daily for a few months and none of the magnets have become dislodged. Fits my 54mm portafilter perfectly and makes the whole espresso workflow cleaner and less frustrating. For the price, this is an easy upgrade that I’d definitely recommend to anyone with a Breville or other 54mm setup.

This fit my Atatix bottomless Portafilter perfectly, and the magnets hold very well. It’s solidly made I would recommend it. I know it says in some of the reviewsthat some people have fit problems, but I’m not one of them.

I know all portafilters are different, so in order to give an accurate review, here is what I used it on. I bought this dosing funnel to use on my Normcore 51mm bottomless portafilter. The dosing funnel is lighter than what I thought it was going to be. It does have 8 magnets which is a plus but, it feels weak and doesn’t really stay on my portafilter very well. It shakes/slips on the portafilter which could indicate a weak seal. But who knows, maybe it’ll be strong enough for your liking. It’s easy to use and coffee grounds stay inside as long as you’re not going crazy with your WDT tool. The color is nice if that’s what you’re looking for. I will say this beats the dosing funnels that sit inside the portafilter. Other than that, there are other dosing funnels out there that have stronger magnets and feel heavier/more durable for approximately the same price.

As a coffee lover who values quality but sticks to a budget, I’m always hunting for affordable products that perform as well as pricier brand-name options. This dosing funnel is a fantastic find, delivering solid quality at a price that doesn’t break the bank. Straight away, I was impressed by its sturdy build. For such a low-cost item, it feels durable and well-made, like it’s built to last through daily use. I’ve been using it regularly with no signs of wear, which is a testament to its craftsmanship. The funnel works perfectly with both the stock portafilter on my Breville Bambino Plus and a budget bottomless portafilter. It fits securely, keeping coffee grounds contained during dosing and tamping. I haven’t tried a high-end funnel for comparison, but this one performs so well that I can’t imagine needing anything better. The magnet strength is spot-on—strong enough to hold the funnel in place but not so powerful that it pulls grounds out when removed. This thoughtful design prevents messes and makes the process smooth. This dosing funnel is a great value. It’s affordable, reliable, and makes coffee prep cleaner and easier.

These are very nice funnels for less than half the cost of some other brands. I like that these are silver colored rather than black - it makes it easier to see any coffee grinds that might be stuck on the funnel sides. Someone complained that the magnets are weak - for me, the magnets have just the right strength. They hold on well enough for me to do everything I need to do - I can WDT without any problem (the magnets are strong enough to grab my WDT needles if I get too close to the edge but weak enough to allow the needles to escape easily). I the magnets are weak enough that I can easily remove it from the basket without and jerks or vibrations to disturb the coffee grounds. I'd say it is the perfect amount of magnetism. These align to the outside rim of the basket so there is nothing poking down into the basket to disrupt the coffee along the sides of the basket. FIT: I bought both the 58mm and 54mm funnels because I have a few different brands of espresso machines. The 58mm fits every 58mm filter basket I own (VST, IMS, Gaggia and several random baskets from various espresso parts suppliers). The 54mm fits my baskets that were designed for machines like Saeco and Starbucks etc. But was just a hair too small to fit my La Spaziale stock baskets and also my IMS baskets for La Spaziale. Those La Spaziale baskets have a very wide, curved rim. I do not own any Breville machines so I cannot comment on how the 54mm fits a Breville or other brand basket. NOTE: I used some hand tools to enlarge the seating area of the 54mm funnel and now it works perfectly with my La Spaziale baskets. I'm pretty handy with tools and it was a fair bit of work -- but I don't know if anyone makes a funnel that will fit a La Spaziale basket so it was worth it to me to end up with a perfectly fitting dosing funnel. Remember that was just the 54mm funnel and my specific brand of basket --- I had no issue at all with the 58mm funnel. The 58mm funnel fit every 58mm basket I own.

I tried using it on the Wirsh 51mm portafilter I bought. The magnets apparently aren't in the right place to be effective. If you tilt the portafilter, the funnel falls off...

Pros: it fits great on my portafilter, correct size for Breville Bambino. Magnets are strong and the funnel itself doesn't get in the way of my WDT or other tools. Also fits pretty well with the Fellow Opus grinder cup. Cons: 5 of the magnets immediately came loose after first use. A bit annoying, but I will buy some super glue and stick them back in place for good. 3 stars because it's still usable but comes loose easily until I fix the magnets.

get the job done, use this everyday with my breville bambino plus.

The product says it's magnetic, and it is not magnetic. It also has an inner ring inside the portafilter, creating a ring inside that filter that is not in the images.
