The ECM Bottomless Portafilter has no spout which allows you to monitor your shot's quality while it extracts. The bottomless design allows you to look for channeling and see that you get a smooth and consistent single stream - the best way to pull a shot!
Ideally, every particle of the ground espresso should be of the same size, and when compressed or tamped into the portafilter basket, it should likewise have no differences in how tightly or loosely it is compressed from side to side or top to bottom. Although perfection in this regard is impossible, a Bottomless Portafilter can help identify things such as channeling, blonding, tiger striping, among other things.
The Bottomless Portafilter can let the Barista see exactly what is happening under the hood. Channeling can be identified by “spurters” and “geysers”. This is where the espresso sprays out in small (or large) jet-like streams at varying angles.
