Overview

We recreated the portafilter out of a single piece of stainless steel for an optimal extraction geometry. No more removable basket, unprecedented extraction geometry, improved thermal stability; a giant leap for espresso. Use it, rinse it, wipe it, with no other routine maintenance. 

Unifilters are PREORDER ONLY. Please see availability tab. 

Materials

The Unifilter® is made from a solid piece of Stainless 304 material. All of the holes are individually laser-ablated and go right up to the vertical wall edge, giving a true 58.5mm puck from top to bottom. Made for 18g ~22g shots (and higher or lower with use or elimination of puck screen).

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.

Included in package

  • 1 Unifilter®, with either FKM Rubber or Teak handle.
  • 1 Stainless Steel puck screen fitted for the Unifilter® (to sit above puck)

Compatibility

  • Standard (Flat)
    Fits standard 58mm portafilter groups with exposed group
    (LaMarzocco, Slayer, Synesso, Kees VanDer Westen, E61 group head, etc.) 
  • Dogleg (discontinued)
    Fits all models of Decent and Flair 58 machines. Customers looking for these should opt for the BUCK together with the Unibasket.

Victoria Arduino Compatibility Note: The Unifilter is compatible with VA machines, however it locks in significantly to the right of center. 

Availability

Unifilters® ordered now are expected to ship in November.

The Unifilter™ in action.

For about a hundred years, the basic construction of the portafilter has remained the same. We decided to change that.

Basket Holes

Due to how they are manufactured, typical 58mm baskets have angled side walls and only 48mm diameter of usable hole diameter. The Unifilter® has straight internal walls, and a full array of holes to the side walls for even extraction throughout the puck.
