49mm Bottomless Portafilter OEM

Project Overview

The 49mm bottomless portafilter with double ears is almost impossible to find on the market. Sizes like 51mm, 53mm, and 58mm are common, but 49mm is rarely offered by any supplier.

After receiving a customer request, we completed the mold opening and production for this 49mm bottomless portafilter. The mold has now been kept in our workshop. Any future customer who needs this product will not need to pay for mold opening again. Just place your order, and we can produce with low MOQ.

Note: This case study is based on a completed custom mold project. The mold for the 49mm bottomless portafilter is now available for new orders.

Market Background

The 49mm portafilter size is primarily used for specific manual espresso machines:

▪️ La Pavoni Europiccola – 49mm

▪️ La Pavoni Professional Lusso – 49mm

▪️ Olympia Cremina – 49mm

Bottomless portafilters are popular among coffee enthusiasts because they allow direct viewing of the extraction process, making it easier to diagnose channeling and uneven extraction.

▪️ Any size: we can open molds for non-standard dimensions

▪️ Any material: based on customer requirements

▪️ Product logo: we can add branded logos on products

▪️ Custom packaging: branded boxes, inserts, stickers, and more

▪️ Other requests: we are willing to evaluate and try any customer requirement

There is no fixed answer like "we cannot do this." Only a response of "let us evaluate it."
