FAQs
What is a naked portafilter?
A naked portafilter, also known as a bottomless portafilter, is a type of espresso machine portafilter that has had its spout removed. This allows you to see the espresso extraction directly from the bottom of the filter basket, helping to diagnose issues like channeling.
How do I know if my Sage espresso machine is compatible?
This portafilter is designed for Sage espresso machines with a 58mm group head. Please check your machine's specifications or user manual to confirm the group head size. Machines like the Sage Barista Touch, Barista Pro, and Oracle often use 58mm portafilters.
What are the dimensions of this portafilter?
The dimensions are approximately 61mm (Width) x 79mm (Depth) x 224mm (Height).
Can I use this portafilter with any espresso machine?
No, this portafilter is specifically designed for Sage espresso machines that have a 58mm portafilter compatibility. It will not fit machines with different portafilter sizes or brands that use proprietary locking systems.
How often should I clean the portafilter?
It's recommended to rinse and wipe the portafilter after every use. A more thorough cleaning, including washing the basket, should be done daily or every few uses, depending on your brewing frequency.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The product comes with a 2-year warranty period.
Is the wooden handle treated?
The wooden handle is made from walnut wood and is designed for aesthetic appeal and grip. It should be cared for by wiping with a damp cloth and drying immediately. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Espresso streams unevenly or too quickly.
Check your grind size (it may be too coarse), ensure even coffee distribution, and try a firmer, more level tamp. Ensure the portafilter is properly seated in the group head.
Portafilter does not lock into the machine properly.
Ensure you have a compatible 58mm Sage espresso machine. Check for any debris in the group head or on the portafilter ears and clean if necessary.
Wooden handle shows signs of wear or damage.
Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. If needed, you can apply a food-safe wood oil to maintain the finish, following the oil manufacturer's instructions.
Coffee grounds are difficult to remove from the basket.
Ensure you are using a clean basket. Use a brush to gently sweep away any remaining grounds after knocking out the puck. Regular deep cleaning with a coffee-specific cleaner can help prevent build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This portafilter is specifically designed for Sage espresso machines with a 58mm group head. Please verify your machine's compatibility before purchase.
Setup: Simply insert your coffee grounds into the portafilter basket as usual, ensuring an even distribution. Lock the portafilter into the group head of your compatible Sage espresso machine.
Care: After each use, carefully knock out the used coffee puck. Rinse the portafilter and basket under warm running water. For a more thorough clean, remove the basket and wash both components with a mild detergent and a soft brush. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent water spots and maintain the wood's finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
