  • Cleaning / Maintenance

    Allow the holder to cool down safely and remove coffee residue from the cup and pod. Wipe the handle with a soft, slightly damp barista cloth. Dry it afterwards. Especially do not leave a wooden handle in water. Before using a cleaning bath, check which parts the manufacturer says can be placed in it.

  • Package contents

    Open filter holder with handle and removable filter basket. The current supplier specifies a 18-gram filter basket for double espresso. Use a dose that suits the actual basket provided and your machine; 18 grams is not a mandatory recipe.

Why this helps make better coffee

You change the grind, tamp differently, and also let your next espresso run longer. After that, you don't know which step made the difference. Make comparisons smaller: first choose a fixed dose and yield. Use visual observation of the flow as an additional observation alongside your notes and what you taste.

This open filter holder in the 58 mm Bezzera version has a stainless steel head and a rosewood handle. There is no distribution spout under the removable tray. This allows you to see where the coffee emerges. The holder does not automate the preparation; distributing and leveling remain separate steps.

On your next attempt, keep everything as consistent as possible and change only one element of your preparation. Then compare the taste, yield, and time. A splash or a beautiful flow does not tell you on its own which grind size you need. When practicing, place a large cup under the holder and keep your hands away from the hot underside.

More visibility of the placement, so you can practice more effectively.

Who is this suitable for?

For you, if you want to understand why your espresso doesn't always flow the same way when using a suitable Bezzera machine. The open bottom makes it visible where the coffee comes out of the puck. This is especially useful when you want to practice at your own pace and compare your attempts with each other.

The rosewood handle gives the holder a warm look in your coffee area. Choose wood if you find it beautiful and pleasant, and keep in mind that you remove the handle separately and keep it dry.

For whom is this not necessary?

If you mainly want to quickly fill two cups without looking, your regular pour-over holder might remain more practical. With a naked portafilter, coffee can splash next to the cup, especially when practicing. Also, don't expect a new holder to solve the problem of old beans or an incorrect grind setting.

  • Compatibility

    Barista Essentials calls this the Bezzera version for the BZ10, BZ09, BZ13 and BZ07. Check the model name on your machine. The 58 mm designation indicates the size, but the lugs on the portafilter also determine whether it can fit into the group head. Therefore, choose the Bezzera version rather than just any other 58 mm portafilter.

    If you use a different filter basket than the one supplied, also check that it fits securely in the portafilter. The portafilter should screw in without force. If your model is not on the list provided or you are unsure about the fit, ask the supplier to confirm the compatibility before ordering.

Advice from Geert-Jan the Barista Man

With over 10 years of experience in providing barista workshops at home, at businesses, and in Amsterdam, Geert-Jan is happy to share his advice.

Who is Geert-Jan?

From practice:

My advice as Geert-Jan the Baristaman: never judge an espresso solely by the crema beneath your filter basket. Taste it first. Then look at the volume in your cup and the extraction time. Use what you see in the flow to choose a specific next step, rather than changing everything at once every time.

My advice:

A worthwhile addition to a suitable Bezzera if you enjoy learning by observing and tasting. Start with a familiar coffee and change one setting at a time. You'll get much more out of the open basket that way than if you change the beans, dose and grind size all at once.

You don't need to get rid of your regular bottomless portafilter. It's still handy for making coffee quickly or splitting it between two cups. Use this naked portafilter when you can give your brewing process your full attention.

Here's how to use this in your coffee routine

A barista tool only really works well when you know where it fits into your routine.

Get into the routine:

Distribute coffee evenly, tamp down evenly, brew and clean

Usage:

Distribute coffee evenly, tamp down evenly, brew and clean

Geert-Jan's tip:

After brewing, first empty the cup and remove any coffee grounds. Wipe the wooden handle with a slightly damp barista cloth and dry it immediately. Do not leave the wood in water with the metal cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Naked portafilter 58 mm hout voor Bezzera: los op een witte achtergrond

Does this holder fit every Bezzera?

The supplier lists BZ10, BZ09, BZ13 and BZ07. For a different Bezzera model, do not rely solely on 58 mm: also have the connection checked.

Will this immediately give me a better espresso?

The holder shows you what happens under the basket. The taste will still depend on your beans, grind, and preparation. Use it to learn, and also compare the taste of each attempt.

Why does the coffee splash next to my cup?

Because there is no spout to catch the coffee. A sudden local flow can end up next to your cup. Use a wide cup and check your coffee distribution and dose before changing multiple settings.

How do I clean the handle?

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp barista cloth and dry it afterwards. Do not immerse a wooden handle for extended periods. For the metal head and the removable container, follow the supplier's cleaning instructions.

Do I need an open filter holder for my daily coffee?

Not necessarily. You can keep using your regular holder if you are satisfied with it and mainly want to make coffee easily. An open holder is especially interesting if you want to watch the flow and are willing to practice your preparation. Expect some splashing while you learn.
