This is a naked portafilter designed specifically for the 9Barista Mk.2 espresso machine. It features a larger aperture than the standard portafilter, offering a full, unobstructed view of the espresso extraction process. This is not only visually satisfying for espresso lovers, but also highly practical. By seeing the extraction in real time, users can easily spot issues such as channeling, uneven flow, or other inconsistencies in puck preparation.
For home baristas who are looking to improve their technique, a naked portafilter is an excellent diagnostic tool. It helps identify where adjustments to grind size, distribution, or tamping pressure may be needed.
Please note that proper puck prep is essential when using a naked portafilter. Without even distribution, you may experience spritzing, fine jets of coffee caused by channeling. Careful tamping will minimize this.
The portafilter includes an aluminum handle, bush, and basket clip for easy installation and daily use.
Note that this does fit the Mk.1 but has a different finish.
