The Normcore All Stainless Steel Lay-Flat Portafilter is a bottomless (naked) portafilter with an open-bottom design that allows direct viewing of the espresso extraction process. This visibility helps in monitoring flow, identifying channeling, and refining techniques such as grinding, dosing, and tamping.

• 180° horizontal lay-flat handle that rests completely level on flat surfaces, offering stability during puck preparation and dosing.
• Precision filter basket with laser-cut holes for improved water distribution and reduced channeling.
• Bottomless design for diagnostic extraction observation.
