Overview

Our latest timepiece disguised as a portafilter — an update to one of our favorite creations — the Unifilter.

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 for better tasting, higher extraction yield espresso.

Availability & Delivery

Renewed products are limited to stock-on-hand and currently the program is only available for the US Market, but we plan to roll it out to other markets in the near future. Check back for updates to stock and new markets.

Materials

The Unifilter is made from a solid piece of forged, machined, and hand-polished 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), but 20g at a medium roast is a good estimate of dose size.

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 piece of solid teak wood sanded and finished with a German non-VOC oil.

Included in package

  • 1 Unifilter, with either FKM Rubber or Teak handle.
  • 1 pack of 100 EPFs (Espresso Paper Filters) to try out.
  • 1 Puck Saver

Compatibility

  • Fits standard 58mm portafilter groups with exposed group
    (La Marzocco, Slayer, Synesso, Kees VanDer Westen, E61 group head, etc.)
  • Does not fit Decent and Flair 58 machines and similar E61 group designs with thick/obscured groups. Customers looking for these should opt for the BUCK together with the Unibasket.
  • Victoria Arduino & La Marzocco (Micra and new Mini) Compatibility Note: The Unifilter is compatible, however it locks-in significantly to the right of center. 
  • Not compatible with Breville/Sage or Gaggia Classic Pro, or similar proprietary non-E61 groups.

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

Thoughtful Details

Exquisite Manufacturing

Inspired by the generations of refinement in the watchmaking industry, the Unifilter is made unlike any portafilter to date. It is a timepiece, only it makes espresso instead of keeping time.

Basket Holes

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.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness

Cleanliness

With a removable basket, espresso residue inevitably builds up in the crevices. Without frequent removal and cleaning or acid baths, this can become rancid. The Unifilter is a single piece with no hidden areas, so a simple water rinse after each use keeps it perpetually clean.

Coffee extractions look different on the Unifilter than a standard portafilter, and this is good. Say goodbye to the “rat tail” and say hello to the “syrup rain.” A stiffer bottom section means that the bottom surface doesn’t bulge out and converge all of the streams, giving you greater visibility into what’s actually happening in your puck.
