Breville 58mm Bottomless Portafilter – Purple Sandalwood

Purple Sandalwood has been considered one of the world's most prized timbers for over a thousand years. Historically reserved for royal furniture and fine instruments, it's valued for its exceptional density, near-black colouring, and the way it develops a deeper lustre over time with use. No two handles are identical - the grain pattern, tone, and depth vary subtly from piece to piece. In practical terms it's a pleasure to hold. The density gives it a satisfying weight. The natural oils in the wood mean it feels smooth and warm rather than cold and clinical. After a few weeks of daily use, it only gets better. The bottomless design A bottomless portafilter removes the traditional spouts, letting espresso flow directly from the basket. You get an unobstructed view of the extraction — channelling, uneven flow, and distribution issues are immediately visible. Fix what you can see, and your shots improve fast. Benefits include: Identify channelling immediately Improve your distribution and tamp technique Achieve more crema and cleaner flavour Easier cleaning - no dead angles or trapped residue.
