Bottomless Portafilter for Gaggia Classic & Classic Pro – 58 mm with 16 g Basket

Gaggia bottomless portafilter with 16 g basket

The 16 g basket matches the dose most Gaggia Classic owners already use, so switching to a naked handle is easy and the results show immediately.

Reading the extraction from a bottomless handle

With a bottomless handle the whole base of the basket is visible, so you can see where coffee flows first. An even, single stream suggests good distribution and tamping, while spurts or pale spots point to channelling. Before buying, confirm you have a Gaggia Classic or Classic Pro, as the fit is specific to those groups. Keep the dose close to the 16 g basket size, because overfilling can make the puck touch the shower screen. With no spouts to collect coffee, rinse the basket and handle after each session, and clean the group head following the guidance from Gaggia.

A training tool at home

Watching the extraction from underneath helps you correct uneven tamping or distribution and steadily improve your espresso.
