Elevate Your Espresso with a Fogkay 51mm Bottomless Portafilter

Designed for CASABREWS Espresso Machine CM5418, along with select 51mm three-ear setups, this Fogkay bottomless portafilter blends precision, durability, and a touch of craft. The 51mm head is crafted from food-grade stainless steel and is hand-polished to a bright, mirror-like finish. The natural wood handle provides a warm, comfortable grip, turning each pull into a tactile, satisfying moment. This is a tool built to accompany your evolving home-brew ritual, offering a clear view of the extraction while you fine‑tune your approach.

Key design choices go beyond aesthetics. The bottomless configuration offers real-time visual feedback of the pour, helping you observe flow and crema development as you adjust grind size, dose, and tamping. A puck screen and a 2‑cup filter basket are included, promoting even water distribution and a consistent bed of grounds. The puck screen also helps keep the brew head clean, potentially reducing channeling and spurting during extraction. The head’s precise dimensions ensure a secure fit with compatible group heads, while the wooden handle supports a steady, controlled grip during manual operation.

Footnotes on Fit, Use, and Care

Before purchasing, verify that your original portafilter is 51mm in diameter and has three ears, each roughly 4mm thick. If these criteria match, you’re likely looking at a compatible pairing. The detachable design facilitates straightforward cleaning and maintenance, and the absence of a bottom on the basket area grants flexibility in choosing among different basket sizes for experimentation.

• Compatibility considerations: 51mm diameter, three ears; check your current portafilter’s dimensions to confirm fit.
• Included accessories: 51mm 2‑cup filter basket (holds up to ~16 g) and a puck screen for even water distribution.

• Usage tips: Use fresh beans, grind finer, employ a WDT tool and a 51mm distributor, and tamp evenly for consistent shots.
• Care guidance: Detach for cleaning, rinse, and dry to maintain the shine of the stainless steel and the smoothness of the wooden handle.

While creating the perfect shot can take practice, this portafilter is designed to support experimentation and gradual improvement. The combination of durable stainless steel, a heat-dense grip, and a clear view of the extraction aims to make routine pulls more informative and enjoyable.
