This portafilter is specifically designed for the Gaggia Classic and Gaggia Classic Pro models. It will not fit other Gaggia machines or espresso makers from different brands.

Yes, the handle is made from natural ashwood, which is a dense, durable hardwood. While it is more elegant than plastic, it is built to withstand the rigors of daily home use, provided you avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher.

The 2 lb weight provides a balanced, professional feel that makes locking the portafilter into the group head easier and more secure. It adds a tactile quality to your workflow that lighter, stock portafilters often lack.
