The Harold - Bottomless 54mm Breville Portafilter

The Harold - Bottomless 54mm Breville Portafilter

My wife and I wanted a bottomless portafilter for our Breville Barista Pro espresso machine. We had our eye on SAI's Harold bottomless portafilter early on but thought we could save a buck. We initially ordered cheap and mid-price portafilters from Amazon. Both options required significant force to lock into the group head, to the point that it felt like something would break. We returned both and purchased The Harold -- we should have from the start. It is expertly designed and crafted with great attention to detail. The angled walnut handle is beautiful and improves ergonomics; the rounded connection ring and hash marks styling is attractive; and the tapered tabs provide a snug fit when inserted into the group head. We love it!

Love my new Portafilter! So luxurious and the wood is so beautiful.

Beautiful and high quality portafilter. A pleasant experience to use it everyday

Aesthetically, this is a major upgrade to my Breville espresso machine. You’ll have to experiment with grind size and weight to dial it in just right. In the beginning stages, there was some messy spurting.
