What is a dosing funnel and what is its benefit?

A dosing funnel is a funnel-shaped device that helps to efficiently transfer ground coffee from the grinder directly into the portafilter. Its use minimises coffee spillage around and ensures accurate and clean dosing, which saves coffee and keeps the work surface clean. This makes it easier to achieve optimal results when making espresso.

How to use the dosing funnel correctly?

Using the dosing funnel is simple: place the funnel on the portafilter that is already placed on the grinder. After grinding the coffee, it automatically enters the portafilter through the funnel, preventing spillage and ensuring that all the coffee ends up exactly where it should. Once the portafilter is full, simply remove the funnel.
