Portafilter 57mm Lelit PLA572V with double spout

The Lelit PLA572V is a 57mm portafilter designed for espresso machines, equipped with a double spout to allow simultaneous extraction into two cups. Made to fit group heads that accept standard 57mm portafilters, this accessory holds conventional 57mm filter baskets and provides a stable handle and sealing for routine home and light commercial espresso preparation.

Advantages

This portafilter offers a consistent fit with group heads that accept 57mm accessories and supports dual-cup extraction through its double spout design, making it easier to prepare two single espressos at once. The construction is intended to maintain a reliable seal with group heads and to accept commonly available 57mm filter baskets, which helps ensure predictable dosing and extraction when used with a compatible tamper and correct grind. Its size and design are suitable for residential use and small-scale hospitality environments where standardised, repeatable performance is required.

Suitable for

• Home espresso machines compatible with 57mm portafilters
• Small cafés and offices preparing two single espressos simultaneously
• Users who employ standard 57mm filter baskets and a compatible tamper
• Baristas seeking consistent dosing and straightforward dual extraction

Key specifications

• Diameter compatible with 57 mm filter baskets
• Double spout for simultaneous two-cup extraction
• Designed for use with standard espresso group heads accepting 57mm portafilters
• Suitable for standard dosing and tamping workflows

How to use

Fit a compatible 57mm filter basket into the portafilter, dose coffee grounds according to your recipe, and tamp to a level appropriate for your grind and machine pressure. Lock the portafilter into the machine’s group head until it seals, then start extraction. The double spout directs the espresso into two cups; monitor shot time and yield to adjust grind size, dose, or tamping pressure for consistent results. After use, remove the portafilter, discard the puck, rinse the basket and spout, and dry before the next use.

Usage recommendations

Use a properly sized tamper and consistent dosing to achieve even extraction. Ensure the group head gasket and basket are clean to maintain a good seal. For best results with dual extraction, check that both outlets are unobstructed and use matched cups to balance flow between the two streams.
