51mm Espresso Dosing Funnel, MATOW Stainless Steel Coffee Dosing Ring Compatible with 51mm Portafilter (51mm)

It's beautiful to look at, though! The pros are There is a lot of polishing and machine work involved in making this funnel. The funnel edge protrudes a bit beyond the filter basket, which is great for catching stray coffee grounds when grinding. It was easy to insert into my LM Linea portafilter. The cons are Inherent in the design of the funnel is that it sits outboard of the filter basket and is therefore quite Since I use the VST filter basket, which has a rounded edge on top, the design of this funnel does not come out well with my basket/partafilter combination. (You may be able to get better results 4) Be careful when positioning the funnel under the chute of the grinder in order to prevent it Moreover, I noticed that the funnel easily disappeared from the portafilter when I rubbed lightly on the side of it while distributing grounds. This heavy weight can easily break a cup [which it did] if it falls off the portafilter [as did the funnel]. In the end, it missed my toe while it was heading for my tile floor [which was If the funnel worked better with a different grind, a different filter basket, an alternate grind distribution technique, a piece of tape, or a patient user, it might have worked. The bottom line is this this is precisely what I "thought" But, I couldn't make it work without making changes to my equipment and procedures. I am glad it is a beautiful paperweight.

The Gaggia Classic 58mm stock portafilter and the Baratza Sette 30 grinder are both part of my setup. I have shown both here so that it works. Using for more than 30 years with no problems. The music is solid and heavy. There is a bit of space to move around on the portafilter since it does not seem to be entirely snug. I have decided to update this This product is still a favorite of mine and I use it almost every day.

Even if you are using a grinder that is a straight "drop through" type like the Sette 7, you are probably used to finding grinds all over your kitchen countertop. A cloth can be kept nearby, or you can clean it up after using it when you're done cleaning. This is a great help, I appreciate it very much. In addition to the fact that it provides a spacer from the bottom of your grinder, it will also help you keep the ground up bits of coffee small. The good metal makes it easy to put right below the grinder spout when you don't need it (to save space) and make it easier to put a tamp right in the middle of it. There's nothing I like better than its fit, it keeps everything clean, and it is a nice quality piece of metal.

In all respects, the shape, construction, and design fit the description and function as expected. When I fill the portafilter, I don't see any grounds on my counter anymore. In retrospect, I would find a dosing funnel that had those tiny magnets built into the bottom if I were to do it again. Despite the filter fitting perfectly, it falls off pretty easily if you tap it. It's a good thing it's There is no fault on the part of the seller or product Magnetic strips would be a huge improvement, in my opinion. A rating is given for warmth, but why?.

I wasn't looking for a skimpy piece of metal, but that isn't what I found. With my Rocky, I use this product and I see a big improvement in the appearance of my area and the fact that I wasn't This is a highly recommended title!.

I am eager to acquire any tool that can assist me with my amateur barista skills. I have been enjoying high quality espresso beverages for many years (I grew up drinking Espresso Vivace, the progenitor of American espresso and the first to introduce latte art to Americans).

I love this dosing ring because it fits my 58mm portafilter perfectly, and it greatly reduces waste and mess while I grind. An excellent little appliance to have for an espresso enthusiast who is still starting out at home. I especially like that I can use my distributor and tamper before I remove.

When I used my vario wand, I had a problem with grinding spilling out. I was looking for a replacement, so I bought this. This method has worked for me and had no issues, allowing me to level the puck a bit by shaking it. I have definitely been able to optimize my espresso making thanks to this tool. Considering how heavy and well constructed it is, it also surprisingly costs a lot of money. Getting them to disperse requires no more than a light shake since they do not stick to the sides at all. I am really happy with how this turned out.

My only con with this is that it only rests on TOP of my Gaggia and Baristapro filter baskets, so I have to hold the ring while pressing the dispensing button of You'll be amazed at how well it works once you're used to it. Just a few days ago, I tried filling the portafilter without it, and noticed that there were twice as many grounds on the counter as before. In order to use my portafilter I nod my portafilter a couple of times on the countertop after I have finished using my grinder. You can use the lower edge of your container to relocate some of your coffee grounds to a better location if you want to even out the distribution. It is such a great thing that I cannot imagine living without it.
