Portafilter Lelit PLA580W 58mm stainless with wooden handle for espresso machines, without spouts

Lelit PLA580W is a 58 mm portafilter designed for use with commercial and home espresso machines. The body is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and thermal stability, while the wooden handle provides comfortable grip and reduced heat transfer. This version is supplied without spouts, allowing baristas to use single or double dosing techniques and to pair the portafilter with their preferred spouted or bottomless baskets.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction ensures consistent temperature retention and durability during frequent use. The 58 mm diameter fits standard commercial filter baskets and provides a secure, stable connection to the group head for accurate extraction. The wooden handle offers ergonomic comfort and an aesthetic finish while minimizing heat conduction from the metal body. Supplied without spouts, the portafilter gives flexibility for different workflow preferences, including use with a bottomless (naked) basket for visual extraction diagnostics.

Suitable for

• Commercial espresso machines with a 58 mm group head
• Home espresso setups using standard 58 mm baskets
• Baristas who perform single or double dosing
• Users who prefer to attach their own spouts or use a bottomless basket

Key specifications

• Diameter: 58 mm (filter basket compatibility)
• Material: stainless steel filter body with wooden handle
• Configuration: supplied without spouts (nozzles)
• Intended use: dosing, tamping and espresso extraction

How to use

Fit the portafilter into the group head and ensure it locks securely before starting the extraction. Use a compatible 58 mm filter basket and dose coffee grounds according to your recipe, then tamp evenly to achieve a level puck. If using a bottomless basket, check the seal and alignment before pulling the shot; if using a separate spouted basket, attach it as required. After extraction, remove the portafilter, knock out the puck, and rinse the basket and filter body to maintain cleanliness.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean and dry the stainless steel parts to prevent buildup and maintain temperature stability. Periodically check the handle connection for tightness and avoid prolonged immersion of the wooden handle to preserve its finish. When switching between spouted and bottomless setups, verify basket seating and group head alignment to ensure consistent extraction.
