About KOFIKOFI

KOFIKOFI sells espresso accessories direct through its own online store and on Amazon. Its catalog centers on 58mm portafilters, including bottomless handles made for Gaggia Classic machines, for E61 group heads, and for Breville's Dual Boiler and Oracle family, alongside tampers, distribution tools, scales and a portable espresso machine. Handles come in American walnut, rosewood and aluminum, paired with 304 food-grade stainless steel heads.

The brand's own site describes its approach as making things worth keeping: "Built to Last" and "Made with Intention" are two of the principles it lists. That shows up in how its portafilters are put together. Each walnut handle is natural wood, so the grain differs from one to the next, and the Gaggia version we reviewed ships as a complete kit with an 18g basket and a puck screen, rather than a bare handle that leaves you shopping for the rest.

Why we recognized KOFIKOFI

The Brew Gazette Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our category roundups. KOFIKOFI earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: checked against the specs, brewing standards and verified buyer reviews, and judged on what matters in the cup.

KOFIKOFI products we rated highly

KOFIKOFI 58mm Bottomless Portafilter for Gaggia Classic, Walnut
Featured in our Portafilters guide

KOFIKOFI 58mm Bottomless Portafilter for Gaggia Classic, Walnut

It is the Gaggia Classic upgrade that arrives as a complete kit: an 18g basket and a puck screen come in the box, so there is nothing extra to buy before your first shot. The puck screen spreads water more evenly across the coffee bed, which makes clean extractions noticeably easier on a Classic. It is made for the Classic, Classic Pro, Classic Evo Pro and Cubika Plus with the 2-ear pattern those machines use, and owners report a snug fit on the Classic Pro. The head is 304 stainless steel and the handle is American walnut.

What earned KOFIKOFI the recognition

  • A top pick in our 2026 portafilter testing, selected for owners of Gaggia Classic machines who want a bottomless handle that works out of the box.
  • Ships with both an 18g basket and a puck screen, which saves a Gaggia owner from sourcing the extras separately.
  • Built from a 304 stainless steel head and an American walnut handle, a material pairing the brand uses across its portafilter line.
  • Made to a specific fit list rather than a generic size claim: Gaggia Classic, Classic Pro, Classic Evo Pro and Cubika Plus, with the 2-ear pattern those machines use.
  • Owners say the build quality is good and the fit on the Classic Pro is snug.
