Gaggia Classic 58mm Bottomless Portafilter – Ergonomic Solid Timber Handle

• Gaggia Classic

Ergonomic Handle Upgrade

Unlike standard straight-handled portafilters, this version features a shaped, ergonomic solid timber handle designed to sit naturally in the hand. The contoured profile improves leverage during locking-in and reduces wrist strain — especially useful when pulling multiple shots.

Each timber handle has natural grain variation, giving every portafilter a slightly unique finish while maintaining a premium, café-grade feel.

How to use (quick guide)
1. Dose: 18–20g.
2. Distribute & tamp: Distribution tool → level → tamp evenly.
3. Pull the shot: Aim for a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 18g in → 36g out) in ~25–30 sec, adjusting grind as needed.

Why Go Bottomless on a Gaggia Classic?

A bottomless (or naked) portafilter removes the spouts found on standard handles, allowing espresso to flow directly from the basket into your cup. This gives you instant visual feedback during extraction, making it easier to identify:

• Channeling

• Uneven distribution

• Incorrect grind size or tamp pressure

For Gaggia Classic owners dialing in espresso, a bottomless portafilter is one of the most valuable upgrades you can make.

Key Features

• 58mm bottomless (naked) design for full extraction visibility

• Precision stainless steel portafilter head for thermal stability

• Ergonomic solid timber handle — contoured for comfort and grip

• Improved balance compared to straight-handle designs
