Rated 4.7 out of 5 stars.
Making espresso and tired of coffee grounds spilling all over your counter? This simple aluminum dosing funnel is a game-changer. It's a ring that sits on top of your 58mm portafilter (the one with three 'ears' or lugs). You just pop it on before you grind your coffee beans directly into the portafilter basket.
It catches all the grounds, so nothing spills over the edge. This means you can use your grinder's double-dose setting without making a mess. It also makes tamping easier because the funnel gives you a taller, contained area to press down. It fits portafilters with a 58mm diameter and three lugs, like those on the Calphalon Temp IQ, Breville/Sage Barista Mini, Oster Barista, Sunbeam Mini Barista, and several others (check the list to be sure – it does NOT fit the Barista Max).
Made from lightweight aluminum alloy, it's durable and looks sleek (comes in black or silver). It weighs about 53g. A small, inexpensive accessory that makes your espresso workflow cleaner, faster, and more professional. If you're serious about your home espresso, this little funnel is a must-have.
