Overview
The Buck is a naked portafilter crafted from a block of forged, machined, and polished stainless steel. It is designed to sit flat on a countertop, eliminating the need for the awkward hanging-off-the-edge-while-tamping of standard portafilters. Both the FKM Rubber and Solid Teak handles have a solid stainless core which give the Buck the heft and strength to last a lifetime.
While optimized for use with any Unibasket size, Buck will work with all standard 58mm baskets.

The BUCK™ is a crafted from a block of forged, machined, and polished stainless steel. The handle core is solid stainless and runs the length of the handle.
Handles
Handles
All handles have a solid stainless steel core to give them heft and longevity. That is covered either by a thick FKM rubber sleeve, or a cored-out solid piece of solid teak wood sanded and finished with a non-VOC oil that will patina over the years like a piece of fine Danish furniture. They are both built for life.

Compatibility
Compatibility
- Fits standard 58mm portafilter groups incorporating E61 design with exposed group, including:
La Marzocco (all except KB-90), Slayer, Synesso, Kees VanDer Westen, Decent, Flair 58, etc. - Victoria Arduino & La Marzocco Micra and Mini: The BUCK will lock in and seal, however it locks in significantly to the right of center potentially interfering with position of steam wand if left in group while steaming.
- Not compatible with Breville/Sage or Gaggia Classic Pro, or similar proprietary non-E61 groups.
