This portafilter holder is designed to provide a stable platform when you tamp your coffee. It ensures that your portafilter remains perfectly horizontal, which is essential for achieving a consistent and optimal espresso. The stand is particularly suitable for Breville Barista Express portafilters and can also be used with most 54 mm double spout portafilters, making it a versatile piece of espresso accessory. For La Pavoni users with compatible double spouts, this stand can also be a useful addition to the coffee equipment.
The holder consists of two parts: the portafilter holder itself and an optional press-fit part. In the optional part, you can add weights, such as 150-200 grams of zinc discs, for added stability and a solid feel during use. This contributes to a more controlled tamping process that can improve the quality of your daily cup of coffee.
