BC SMEG 50's Style 51mm Bottomless Portafilter - ECF02

Description:

Perfect Your Espresso — See Every Shot in Action

Take control of your espresso with the Brewing Culture 51mm Bottomless Portafilter, designed specifically to fit the Smeg 50’s Style ECF02 espresso machine.

By removing the spouts and exposing the filter basket, this bottomless (naked) portafilter allows you to see the entire extraction in real time — making it easier to identify channeling, uneven tamping, or grind inconsistencies. It’s an essential upgrade for anyone looking to improve shot quality and consistency at home.

Whether you’re dialling in your grind or upgrading from the stock portafilter, this tool helps you get the most out of your Smeg machine.

• Switching to a bottomless portafilter may require adjustments to grind size, dose, or tamping technique.

• It’s normal to see spurting or channeling at first — this isn’t a defect, but a useful visual cue to help refine your espresso technique. With a little fine-tuning, you’ll be pulling cleaner, more consistent shots in no time.
