Gaggia naked / bottomless portafilter suitable for Gaggia Classic and other Gaggia models with similar portafilter group mounts.

This Gaggia bottomless portafilter is a great tool for the serious home barista. It allows you to see any channeling as it occurs so the barista in you can easily identify uneven distribution and/or tamping. This 58mm bottomless portafilter is made of a commercial grade, chrome-plated brass and is compatible with Gaggia manual and semi-automatic espresso machines that use the Gaggia 58mm portafilter. Because the interior side-wall is machined flush it will any accept any depth of filter basket.

A bottomless portafilter lets you perfect the art of espresso. Without spouts, the bottomless portafilter gives you an unobstructed view of the entire extraction process as it progresses.

Specification:

• Width:  approx 78mm wide (ear to ear)
• Length: approx 215mm
• Handle diameter : approx 35mm x 22mm (oval)
• Handle material:  black plastic
• Portafilter material: polished chrome plated brass
• Supplied with:  triple basket, approx 22g capacity (approx 28mm deep)
• Standard handle end-cap is BLACK plastic, optional CHROME plastic end-cap.
• Portafilter spring: 1.2mm or 1.4mm (depending on availability)

Gaggia have recently stopped producing the end-cap with the G logo - they are now smooth and blank.  We have some stock of both the black and chrome endcaps with the G logo but supplied BLACK endcaps may or may not have the G logo; currently all chrome ones will have the G logo.

Triple basket supplied may differ slightly in appearance to the one pictured (based on basket availability at time of order fulfilment - though will always be a triple basket of approx 21-22g capacity and approx 28mm deep)

The plastic handle is attached to the metal head with an internal hex head bolt and lock-washer.  As with standard Gaggia Classic portafilters, this can be accessed by carefully removing the black plastic cap at the end of the handle and then tightened as/when necessary with a long 5mm Allen key.  Whilst the handles are always firmly fixed when they are shipped, the bolt can become slightly looser in shipping and/or over time when used in Gaggia vibratory pump machines.  A loose handle is not a defect, and it can easily be tightened by removing the handle cap and tightly turning the internal bolt with a suitable hex/allen key tool. 

Some other models that this portafilter will also fit include:  New Baby, Baby, Baby Class, Baby Twin, Baby Dosata,
Gaggia Coffee, Classic, Classic Pro, Classic 2019, Classic 2020, Evolution, Dose, Pure, Color, Paros, Tebe, Espresso (NOT Gaggia Espresso 2023), Topazio

NOTE: If you're ejecting your spent pucks directly into the waste (bin/can/garbage), then with any portafilter you may well find that the basket exits as well.  We would always advocate the use of a proper "knock box" to ensure that this doesn't happen - whereby the basket is pushed into the portafilter whilst the spent puck is ejected, and there is no risk of loosing the basket from the portafilter,

Your question:

Hi Does it have a Chrome end cap with a G or is it plain grey?

The end cap is either black plastic or chrome plastic (depending on the option you select) with the Gaggia G logo moulded into it.
