The Bottomless Portafilter - Revolutionary only begins to describe it ... Click here to view on EspressoParts.com

The BIG question is: Does it really make a difference? The answer is overwhelmingly YES.

You might be asking yourself how exactly does it make a difference? Let us help explain it to you.

CONSISTENCY & TROUBLE SHOOTING ESPRESSO EXTRACTION.
First and foremost it will help your barista be more consistent. Being able to view the bottom of the portafilter basket, helps you and your staff immediately spot a poor, sub-standard extraction. An espresso shot that is not centered or that leans to one side or the other of the bottom of the basket signifies a poorly distributed or packed portafilter. This lets you immediately know which shots should be served and which shots should be tossed into the drain tray.

TASTE.
There is no doubt that an espresso shot from a Bottomless Portafilter tastes better. We all know how dirty the bottom of the portafilter and the portafilter spout get, especially in a high volume scenario. The Bottomless Portafilter eliminates those problem parts and allows the user to clean the bottom of the portafilter basket after each and every shot.

When we first started selling the Bottomless Portafilter a very excited customer of ours bought one and as an experiment invited his customers to a free blind taste test between a standard portafilter and his new Bottomless Portafilter. From his reports to us, 100% of his customers chose the Bottomless shot over the extraction pulled from a spouted portafilter.

Those who strive for perfection in their product know that it is the smallest details that matter most. The Bottomless Portafilter is a tool that helps you fine tune your dosing, distribution & tamping technique and that allows your business to serve a perfect shot each and every time.

Now, after this reading you may find that you must have one of these bottomless portafilters, and the good news is that we have them at our Home-Espresso.com web site and will be on EspressoParts.com as soon as our new site in complete: http://www.espressoparts.com/product/F_NKDPF
