54mm Portafilter Funnel with Magnetic, Lightweight Aluminum Espresso Dosing Funnel

These are very nice funnels for less than half the cost of some other brands. I like that these are silver colored rather than black - it makes it easier to see any coffee grinds that might be stuck on the funnel sides. Someone complained that the magnets are weak - for me, the magnets have just the right strength. They hold on well enough for me to do everything I need to do - I can WDT without any problem (the magnets are strong enough to grab my WDT needles if I get too close to the edge but weak enough to allow the needles to escape easily). I the magnets are weak enough that I can easily remove it from the basket without and jerks or vibrations to disturb the coffee grounds. I'd say it is the perfect amount of magnetism.These align to the outside rim of the basket so there is nothing poking down into the basket to disrupt the coffee along the sides of the basket.FIT:I bought both the 58mm and 54mm funnels because I have a few different brands of espresso machines. The 58mm fits every 58mm filter basket I own (VST, IMS, Gaggia and several random baskets from various espresso parts suppliers).The 54mm fits my baskets that were designed for machines like Saeco and Starbucks etc. But was just a hair too small to fit my La Spaziale stock baskets and also my IMS baskets for La Spaziale. Those La Spaziale baskets have a very wide, curved rim. I do not own any Breville machines so I cannot comment on how the 54mm fits a Breville or other brand basket.NOTE: I used some hand tools to enlarge the seating area of the 54mm funnel and now it works perfectly with my La Spaziale baskets. I'm pretty handy with tools and it was a fair bit of work -- but I don't know if anyone makes a funnel that will fit a La Spaziale basket so it was worth it to me to end up with a perfectly fitting dosing funnel. Remember that was just the 54mm funnel and my specific brand of basket --- I had no issue at all with the 58mm funnel. The 58mm funnel fit every 58mm basket I own.

This is incredibly useful! It doesn't take up space in the basket as it sits directly on top. This allows the coffee grounds to be evenly distributed throughout the basket during the WDT process, and then tamped down perfectly.

Using it on a Capresso/Gevi 51mm bottomless portafilter w/double basket. Helps so much. Makes it easy to break up the clumps with needle distributor before tamping.

The fit and overall quality of this product is great for the price. There are a few small magnets embedded in the funnel that hold on to the portafilter which is great EXCEPT that one of the tiny magnets came loose and fell out of the funnel. It still works the same and I could probably glue it back in with some super glue, so I am not too worried about it.

Funnel works well and looks good. The magnets have a secure hold on the filter, but aren't too strong to be inconvenient. The magnets occasionally come out, but are easily replaced in their holes with some CA/super glue.

Really stops the mess. Adding the grounds and moving them with wdt, was really messy before buying the dosing ring. Magnet holds it on. Can even tamp through the ring. Machined nice. Thought it was overkill but definitely worth it for the process. Even if you don’t stir with a wdt, just adding the grounds in the ring funnels it in and makes making espresso way more enjoyable

It fits my portafilter well and it is light.

This is one of many magnetic funnel options at a low price. It has some critical and dangerous flaws within a week with the little magnets that hold the ring onto the portafilter coming out and not being properly secured in the funnel.These little magnets are powerful. Dangerous and expensive destruction this could cause. Fall into the grinder, the sink/disposal, or into a cup and drink it. No thanks.Needed this thing for one simple task and it's bad at it. Magnets aren't secure and height of funnel is shorter than ideal. Do not buy.
