xOverview
FogKAY’s 58mm Bottomless Portafilter is designed for CASABREWS machines, including Ultra, 4700Gense, 5700Gense, and 5700Pro. With a 58mm diameter and three ears roughly 5mm thick, this portafilter aims to provide a snug, secure fit on compatible group heads. Its bottomless design invites clear visibility into the extraction process, helping you observe flow, crema, and potential channeling as you dial in your technique. The overall build pairs a polished stainless steel head with a natural wood handle for a balanced, hands-on brewing experience.
Fit, compatibility, and setup
This model is intended for 58mm portafilters with three ears. Before purchasing, verify your machine’s compatibility by comparing to your original portafilter’s size and ear configuration.
- Compatible with 58mm three-ear portafilters

What’s included and key benefits
- 58mm stainless steel filter basket with 2-cup capacity (up to 21 g)
- 58mm puck screen to promote even distribution and help keep the brew head cleaner
The kit’s attention to precise sizing and the puck screen is aimed at supporting even contact with the grounds and reducing stray water flow during extraction, while the bottomless format provides a direct view of the shot’s progression.
Design, materials, and handling
The portafilter head is crafted from food-grade stainless steel and hand-polished to a gleaming finish. A natural solid wood handle offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip, making manual control feel steady and intuitive during dialing-in shots.
Cleaning, maintenance, and flexibility
Removable and bottomless design enables quick disassembly for thorough cleaning and easier access to the basket area. With no fixed bottom, you can experiment with different basket sizes within the 58mm format, broadening your brewing options between sessions.
Brewing tips and practical use cases
For best results, start with fresh beans and adjust your grinder to a finer setting. Use a WDT tool and a 58mm distributor to break up clumps and promote even distribution, then tamp consistently. Expect that achieving the perfect shot may take a few tries, especially when working with a bottomless setup.
- Watch crema behavior and flow to fine-tune grind, dose, and tamp
