Saeco Non-Pressurized Portafilter Upgrade for Saeco and Starbucks Espresso Machines Upgrade your Saeco or Starbucks espresso machine by swapping out your pressurized portafilter handle with this non-pressurized version. Using the same baskets that came originally with your espresso machine, you can easily brew traditional shots of espresso with a beautiful crema!
This portafilter handle is compatible with the following espresso machines:
- Saeco Aroma
- Starbucks Barista
- Saeco Via Venezia
- Estro Profi
- Saeco Magic Cappuccino
- Saeco Gran Crema
- Saeco Via Veneto
- Saeco Classico
How it works:
- Pop in either the single or double filter basket that was included with your machine.
- Fill the basket to the top with fresh, finely ground espresso that is as uniform in consistency as possible.
- Apply 30lbs of pressure when you tamp your coffee...not sure how much 30lbs is? Easily calibrate this by testing your tamp pressure on a bathroom scale.
- Insert the portafilter into the group head on your espresso machine.
- Place your cup or shot glasses underneath the spouts and activate the brew switch.
- It should take about 25 seconds to extract 3 ounces of espresso using the double basket. If the espresso is coming out too quickly, it's because either your grind is too coarse or your tamp too light; if it's coming out too slowly, your grind is too fine or your tamp too tight.
- Take a sip and enjoy your rich and delicious espresso!
