It pairs a solid stainless steel body with a turned walnut handle, and it is the single cheapest way to find out what your puck prep is actually doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a standard portafilter you only see the result. Bottomless, you see the cause: a spray from one side means an uneven tamp, a jet through the middle means channelling, early blonding means the grind is too coarse. Fix what you can see, and the shots get better fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaked extraction view:\u003c\/strong\u003e The open base exposes the underside of the basket, making channelling, spritzing and uneven flow immediately obvious instead of hidden behind a spouted bottom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel body:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined to the 58mm standard with enough mass to hold heat through the shot, so the first espresso of the session tastes like the third.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real wood, shaped to sit comfortably in the hand and stay cool at the machine — a noticeable upgrade over moulded plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18g basket compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts standard 58mm baskets, including the 18g basket most home recipes are built around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo fitments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose Gen 1 Compatible or Gen 2 Compatible to match your Meraki Dual Boiler — the two generations use different portafilter lugs, so select carefully before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone dialling in a new grinder, learning WDT and distribution, or troubleshooting shots that taste thin without an obvious cause.
