CafeSing COD 58mm Espresso Portafilter, All Stainless Steel, 180° Horizontally Lay Flat, Bottomless, 2 Ears

It's perfectly stable on the counter. It snaps into the Flair 58 better than the other portafilters I have. There's no need for an espresso station. I put the old basket that came with the Flair into it and it fits perfectly.

I received this bottomless portafilter yesterday and it DID NOT disappoint me! It feels very high quality, it is lighter than my original ECM spouted portafilter, but still has good weight to it. This should outlast my ECM espresso machine, because it is a single piece machined stainless steel product, super solid. The handle does not get hot at all, barely warm after keeping it for 40 mins in my espresso machine when it’s on. It locks in pretty tight. Feels great in hand and pleasant to use. This is my first time using a bottomless portafilter and I was worried about spraying water, but the shot turned out so well. Very happy so far and recommend it to anyone!

Works great with the Gemilia Owl e61 grouphead and VST precision basket!!! Flat bottom works great for weighing and tamping. Increased visibility of basket design is also a plus. Handle does not get hot but basket heats up as grouphead heats up prior to extraction which is great for light roast beans.

Pros: very nice polished finish, straight through walls for deep baskets, low-mass basket walls for quick heat up while on group head, handle stays reasonably cool, lays flat for easy anywhere tamping even with Pesado HE% or Weber 28g baskets. Can handle SWORKS’ deep 58mm-to-49mm, 28g stepdown basket but you’ll have to use a tamping station as that particular filter basket protrudes past the bottom. Branding is on the bottom which is good because I would not buy it if any logos were visible otherwise.Cons: while it does lay flat, the handle is not round like other lay-flat portafilters so you end up pinching the top instead of getting your fingers underneath. Instead, you have to grab it by the basket area. Not a big deal but feels awkward and annoying. Expensive.

Dang does this thing look incredible. It’s hefty. Like, you could use this thing as a weapon if an intruder breaks in while your mid puck prep. Which just makes you feel like you’re using something super high quality. It fits my e61 group head perfect.

I never thought I would find a better portafilter better than my Normcore, but this one is just a little bit nicer. It is very deep. My 20g Weber Workshops Unibasket doesn't come close to reaching the bottom. (see pictures) You could put a much deeper 28g basket in and I doubt it would reach the bottom. This means you can tamp on a flat rubber mat or even on your countertop but I wouldn't want to scratch my marble. I love that it sits flat on my scale and fits very tight in my MiiCoffee Apex.I don't love the branding that's etched in (see pic) but it is on the bottom so you won't see it unless you flip it over and look. I do love that it doesn't come with a basket. Anyone serious about coffee is using a premium basket. I think this looks better than the webber portafilters, and it's quite a bit less expensive so I think it's a great deal. The stainless mirror finish is really nice. You won't be disappointed.

Wow, this portafilter is truly next level. The flat-bottom design is a game-changer, allowing you to work anywhere on your counter, not just at the edge like traditional portafilters. It sits perfectly flush with all parts of the portafilter, ensuring consistency and ease of use.It’s also significantly heavier than an average portafilter, which makes it ideal for use directly on a countertop rather than a tamping station. (It will topple over if you try to use it on a tamping station) The handle’s weight adds to its stability and durability, making it feel premium and well-designed. The finish is stunning, with a sleek and futuristic look that stands out.This portafilter fits perfectly on my E61 grouphead (I use a Rancilio Silvia). It does require turning in further than the OEM portafilter to prevent leaks, but once properly secured, it works great.If you’re in the market for a flat-bottom portafilter, this is the one to get!
