Portafilters

Great espresso starts with the portafilter. It’s the point where hot water meets freshly ground coffee, shaping flavour, crema, and extraction. Whether in a café or at home, it’s one of the most essential tools in espresso brewing.

Portafilters come in a range of styles, including spouted and bottomless (naked) designs. Bottomless portafilters allow you to watch the extraction in real time, helping improve consistency and technique. Most are built from stainless steel, brass, or copper for excellent heat retention, with handles available in stainless steel, hardwood, or composite finishes.

Designed to suit specific machine brands (with some universal E61-compatible options), portafilters work best alongside quality brewing tools such as coffee scales, dosing cups, distribution tools, tampers, milk jugs, and cleaning accessories.

At JavaDock, our espresso accessories are selected for both home baristas and commercial cafés, helping you brew with confidence, precision, and control.
