La Marzocco Bottomless Portafilter

If you have never seen the crema that comes off of a bottomless portafilter, allow us to express just how perfect it is, both in taste and in aesthetics. La Marzocco has created this Bottomless Portafilter for its wonderfully designed GS/3 machines.

This well crafted portafilter does not include a basket.

How the La Marzocco GS/3 Bottomless Portafilter Works

Fill it up just like you would a standard portafilter.

• Lightly fill the portafilter basket to the top.
• Use your finger to gently even out the grounds.
• Lightly press the tamper into the grounds and find a good center point.
• Evenly apply approximately 30 pounds of pressure to the grounds.
• Tap the side of the portafilter to reveal loose grounds.
• Sit back and enjoy one of the coolest-looking effects in espresso extraction.
