KNODOS Bottomless Portafilter 54mm for Sage Rosewood Handle

This is a beautiful portafilter. It feels solid and well-made, and the walnut handle looks great and feels really nice in hand. It fits my Sage Bambino Plus, but in my case it tends to be quite tight when cold and won’t always lock in fully straight away. This isn’t just a first-use issue — even after making around 200 coffees, I still notice it. What I’ve found is that once the machine and portafilter warm up, it locks in much more smoothly. I now run one empty shot before making coffee, which helps heat everything up and makes a noticeable difference. By the time I make a second coffee, it goes in fully without any force. In terms of performance, I’d strongly recommend upgrading to an IMS precision basket. The basket provided with this portafilter can be quite messy and prone to spraying. That said, if you’re going bottomless, you probably already know that puck prep needs to be on point — so a precision basket is a natural next step. As for durability, it feels sturdy and well constructed. I’ve seen reviews of other wooden-handled portafilters where the wood can crack or come loose, but so far this one shows no signs of that. Still, it is wood, so it’s worth keeping it dry and taking care of it. As for durability, it feels sturdy and well constructed.

Overall, a great combination of aesthetics and performance — just be aware of the tighter fit when cold and the need to warm it up first. I wouldn’t recommend forcing it into place with extra pressure, as that could damage the group head — it’s better to let it warm up and go in naturally.

Elegant product

Fit perfectly in my Sage Bambino machine, nice and snug. Its Duruable with a lovely handle, It's easy to use and delivers excellent flowing espresso, as long as you get the grind size right and correct grams. 10/10

Decent bottomless Porta filter. Fits the sage Bambino plus okay. It does look good on the machine. I changed the basket that comes with it for an IMS precision basket.

Can’t fault this portafilter at all, seems well made, nice wood, locks in to my Lelit E61 really well, perhaps slightly further over than a stock PF but that’s no bother

Great portafilter, really nice handle but only giving 3 stars because you cannot even get it slightly wet. I have not submerged it in water but it is inevitable that when rinsing basket some water will splash onto the handle. As you can see from the photo the lacquer has washed off exposing the bare wood. I know I could unscrew the wooden handle when rinsing but that’s not practical to do every time you use it. The handle should be coated in a water resistant coating at the very least.

Lovely portafilter, an extra one so don’t need to wash when making 2 coffees in the morning! Also great weight and quality, fits the machine well

Great looking Portafilter, Fits my Oracle jet perfectly. would definitely buy again. Used for the first time yesterday and it produces a beautiful cup of coffee time after time. Should have bought a long time ago.

Outstanding tool for an espresso fool. In all seriousness I pull better shots with this in my Breville Oracle Jet than the included Breville portafilter. Think there is just a slightly tighter tolerance. Planning to buy another in a different color as I like a spare for any tool I use often. 10/10!

The portafilter feels sturdy and durable. Feels nice in the hand. The basket is also great. Nice design, looks awesome on the machine.

While this looks like the real deal, heavy and shiny and all, I was rather disappointed. First off, on the first or second day of using it, a small piece of the handle chipped off - I had actually read another review with the same problem and thought that the author was probably clumsy -well they probably weren’t. The included basket is larger and has to be filled with more coffee, probably around 21g which changes the recipe, since the Sage takes 17-18g. This is not mentioned online, only inside the actual box. The main problem is, however, much more serious. Regardless of the basket I used, including the sage original one, there seems to be coffee spur in different directions, as if the portafilter does not tighten correctly. Finally, the basket is so snugly fit, it takes a lot of strength to remove fire cleaning or fitting another one. Overall I should have returned the product, as it was rather expensive.

Product is slightly larger than 54mm. Tamper and distribution tools don't work as well. Plus the fit is very snug.

Very good bottomless portafilter. Steady, high quality and compatible with my Sage Oracle Dual Boiler!
