Portafilter Basket Removal Tool Stainless Steel Coffee Portafilter Basket Remover Espresso Cleaning Accessories (Portafilter Basket Remover Tool)

Simple, durable, stainless steel, does its job. Easy to clean, and good size to hold. No complaints.

If you make espresso often, you might consider getting one of these. It will keep your spouse from using the good knives to pry out the grounds basket from the portafilter. This works easily in a second or two. Very clever tool.

This works great if you want to remove a ringed portafilter basket from a portafilter with lock spring. Can also be used to facilitate removal of the shower head on an E61 machine. I don’t use this very often, but when I need it, I’m glad I have it.

The basket on my portafilter fits tightly and I have to remove it every week to back flush with the blank filter. I was using a knife, which was somewhat tedious. I saw this device and splurged.The device works perfectly and makes it easy to remove a basket from the portafilter. The tip that goes between the portafilter and basket is tapered, so it fits in the crack easily and with one twist the job is done. Also, the entire product, although it weights next to nothing, is made of stainless steel, so it should last.My only problem with this device is its price. For a small stamped piece of stainless steel, the price is outlandish. That said, it has made life for a house barista much easier, and in that sense, it is worth every penny.

This tiny tool is awesome! It’s sturdy, removes a basket easily without breaking my nails. 100% worth the price.

Works once you figure out how to wedge it in . I wish it was a little stronger.

Yup, it works exactly as designed and the brushed finish keeps it looking nice. There's not a lot more to be said.

Perfect! It easily pries the basket free from the portafilter, saving my nails from breaking.
