Naked portafilter

In some cases bottomless portafilters are interchangeable between brands, such as the Nuova Simonelli bottomless portafilter, this one is interchangeable with the one used on most Victoria Arduino espresso machines. This has to that it is the same brand.

You can add any filterbasket to the bottomless portafilter. But in most cases a deep double filterbasket is installed. This has to do that there is no bottom in the way.

In almost most cases bottomless portafilters are made from brass which has been chrome plated. A few brands make bottomless portafilters from stainless steel. But that is a minority

Bottomless portafilters start as regular casted portafilters. But during the machining process the bottoms are cut out of the casting, which creates a bottomless portafilter. After this the portafilters are sanded and polished into a mirror finish and chrome plated.

No, the portafilters used on Breville, Sage and Solis espresso machines are unique to those brands. And are also a lot smaller then the standard 58mm portafilters, which are used for instance on E61 brewing groups.

A bottomless portafilter can be used as a single or double portafilter, but it does give a different result. With a naked portafilter you can only make one espresso at the time, seen there is no portafilter spout to divert the coffee into two directions.

Why would you use a bottomless portafilter?

The most common defence of the naked portafilter is that it helps us evaluate the uniformity of our extraction, leading to better flavourful and consistent espressos. The idea is that spurting and channelling are invisible with a standard portafilter because of the spouts, but are obvious with a bare one. In principle, this will allow the barista to gauge the efficacy of the pour's extraction. They may use that information to fine-tune their distribution,grind, and tamping techniques in order to achieve more uniformity.

What is the most common bottomless portafilter size?

The well know common naked portafilter size is the 58mm bottomless portafilter. This size bottomless portafilter can be used with brands such as Faema, Cimbali, Rancilio, Marzocco. Other common sizes are for instance the 54 bottomless portafilters for Breville/Sage and Solis. But less common sizes are for instance for La San Marco and La Spaziale portafilters, with their 53mm diameter portafilters.

What kind of tamper do I need with my bottomless portafilter?

Which tamper you need with your naked portafilter mainly depends on which brand of espresso machine you have and what the internal diameter is of the portafilter. The most common espresso tamper used for filterbaskets is the tamper with a diameter of 58mm.
