Portafilter Holder

I was looking for a portafilter holder that would make puck prep easier. This one works great—-fits 54mm Breville PFs great, it is heavy and sturdy and well made. More importantly it all easily comes apart to hand clean.

This is a great product, and has made my espresso ritual considerably easier and more streamlined. Shots pulled using a bottomless portafilter show little to no channeling now, compared to preparing the puck on a mat. Bringing the portafilter closer to you and giving it a firmer and more stable stand/hold, i.e., holding it by the edges vs the bottom or the spouts, make for a better work flow for preparing the puck. The negatives I've found so far are 1) the bolt that you adjust for resting the portafilter handle on could adjust a little higher and could be a little sturdier, but it is sufficient as is, and 2) the bottom cover comes off too easily. Simply picking the holder up and moving it will cause the bottom piece to fall off. Overall, I really like this portafilter holder and it has been a welcome addition to my espresso arsenal.

This is a daily use item for my Coffee Cave! I easily swapped out the spacer rings to fit my 58mm portafilters. The rings are very easy to replace, and you have a few sizing options. I have single, double, and naked portafilters; all fit very nicely into the stand. The riser screw is adjustable, but it will have limited usefulness with portafilters having heavier handles. I am unable to get my portafilters to sit level, but that's the tradeoff for a round stand vs something larger with a resting arm. The stand has some weight to it, making it very stable when using. I like the removable base; it makes it much easier to clean. I won't say it's my favorite accessory, but overall, it works as intended so I am satisfied with the purchase. Would I recommend this? Probably. Would I be offended if you didn't buy it based on my recommendation. Probably not.

This actually comes with two rubber / POM rings to help fit your portafilter. My only suggesting to improve the design would be to chamfer the aluminum at the top of the opening for your handle to avoid the possibility of chipping the powder coat over time.

This is one of those items I didn’t know how needed it was until I used it. The portafilter sits perfectly balanced and very stable, allowing for level tamping. It helps keep the counter clean and is itself, extremely easy to clean. It is very well made and adds a great look to your espresso set up.

This holder works great, it takes very little room, it's surprisingly heavy for its size, so it is very steady, it works perfectly with my blank portafilter.

For breville. This thing does not hold the portafilter well which makes it nearly unusable. I have better luck just using the edge of my countertop honestly. Built well but just not worth it.

The portafilter from my bezzera BZ13 has a slightly angled handle and would not sit flush in this holder, its a shame because the product is of high quality was really hoping it would work with my portafilter

Perfect fit and very stylish - highly recommend!

Good holder but not very stable

At first I thought I had received the 58mm model rather than the 54mm. Despite the listing stating that it fits breville machines the slot is not deep enough to use the support screw at the bottom, you have to remove it. When you remove it you'll find that they didn't bother to deburr that hole either. Support was quick to respond to my enquiry but not very helpful. It seems like these are known issues to them. I will say that other than deburring that hole the finish is very nice. I have the SS dosing funnel that clips onto the outside of the portafilter and it almost fits inside so I'll probably increase the opening slightly with my Dremel and make that work. With the dosing funnel on the weight balances more forward so lacking that screw support shouldn't be so bad.

It is a good solid aluminium holder to ease the puck prep. It holds the original sage’s or breville’s portafilter with the spouts very well but it doesn’t hold any bottomless portafilter on its own! You have to hold the bottomless portafilter’s handle by your hand while doing WDT, distribution, and tamping process. The rubber bottom is a great idea to keep your counter clean. Looks nice and very easy to clean.
