Teflon Portafilter: A Good Barista’s Dream

Check this out.

It’s Here.

Portaflon presents the Teflon coated portafilter. Hurray!

Why is this important? Have you ever seen a portafilter that looked like it had a layer of black crud in it?

That stuff is coffee gunk. It builds up very quickly, which is why most good shops scrub out their portafilters a few times a day.

The problem, however, is that there is a required seasoning shot. This means waste, and it means rancid oils contacting fresh coffee, every time, because it’s better than the metallic twang present in the flavor of a shot from a portafilter that has not been seasoned.

Now, you neither have to scrub your portafilter, or season it. Awesome.

I first heard about them from visitors of the last Nordic Barista Cup, where the concept was widely accepted as a long time coming, and a giant leap in coming closer to absolute honesty in the cup.
