Common Questions Answered
What does a pressurized portafilter do?
It creates consistent internal pressure to help brew espresso with thick crema, even when the grind or tamp isn’t perfect. It’s especially useful for home machines without built-in pressure control.
How do I know if this fits my machine?
If your portafilter basket measures 51mm in diameter, it should be compatible. Check your machine specs or measure the diameter of your group head to confirm fit.
Is it better than a non-pressurized basket?
For beginners or those using pre-ground coffee, yes. It helps extract flavor without needing precise grind size or tamping skill, making it more forgiving and consistent.
Can I use my regular 51mm tamper with this?
Absolutely. It works great with flat-bottom tampers designed for 51mm baskets, such as the Joytata tamper or equivalent models.
