Our portafilters feature a securely attached handle with zero wobble, ensuring a comfortable and stable grip while brewing. Our portafilter handle does not unscrew from the head. Not Compatible with 58mm Breville Models or Gaggia Machine No Dishwasher: The wood handle should be kept dry while not in use and should not be placed in the dishwasher. Enjoy a perfect fit: Before use the portafilter, moisten and warm up the silicone ring/gasket by gently flushing your machine if the portafilter feels tight. For best results, securely tighten the silicone ring/gasket to prevent leaks and replace if worn.
