Portafilter Hibrida LM/E61/NS/GA - Serbaguna, tanpa dasar & dengan cerat

The 5mm is an absolute perfect fit on my Lelit Elizabeth. Smooth, leak free and better fit than the OEM porta filter which itself is pretty good. And it puts my other after market convertible portafilter to shame. I wish I had gotten the Pesado first.

Perfect piece of engineering, easy to clean, no staining just amazing. 👍🏼🙏🏼

Love my hybrid portafilter from Pesado.
Wouldn’t complain if it was a little heavier, but I did go for the plastic and honeycomb.
Like the ability to chuck the spouts on, but I mostly run it naked for scale space and espresso temp straight into glass.
Buy once, cry once!

Looks and fits great. Thanks

Love it!!! Especially the variety to switch between bottomless and normal Portafilter. If you have screw everything up once, it’s where easy to switch between.

I love it, very high quality and the flexibility to go spouted or bottomless is great. I will admit however that I can't bring myself to cover up the HE filter basket.

This thing is probably my favorite piece of coffee gear I’ve bought. My cups are cool, but the Pesado products feel like they are indestructible. I’ve had such joy making espresso daily since I’ve purchased this. I highly recommend it to all espresso machine owners. These will elevate your espresso making experience in a big way, both visually and with results. 10/10 would buy again.

The quality is not just good, it's superb!! It's absolutely tank. I'm super happy with my new tools, the thickness of the basket is just bulletproof. I chose a hybrid portafilter because i drink more coffee than my wife, and it's very comfortable to switch between spouted and naked, genius!
It works perfect with my Rancilio Silvia and I'll definitely consider other tools.

Thank you again to PESADO for sending me a replacement E61 5mm model.
I’ll be sure to share a few videos on social media to showcase my experience.

As for the quality, it is undeniably excellent and far exceeds its price. I have absolutely no complaints about this brand, whether it’s the basket or the portafilter. I have no regrets about my purchase.

After spending so much time searching for a hybrid portafilter, I’m truly delighted to have invested my money in PESADO. Their product is exactly what I was looking for.

I’ll definitely return to them for my future needs.

Wishing you all great espresso moments !

I believe I am not the only one wondering :
which portafilter model is best suited for my machine ?

There are two main models available :

•,LM 6mm, generally designed for La Marzocco machines but also compatible with E61 groups.

•,E61 5mm, specifically designed for E61 groups.

However, the question remains : Which portafilter is the best fit ?
I imagine many people share this question. That’s why I decided to write this detailed review, allowing you to judge for yourself and select the model that best suits your machine.
____________________________________
The Comparison
Thanks to the kindness and professionalism of PESADO, I had the opportunity to test both models :

•,LM 6mm
•,E61 5mm

I also used different filters to refine the comparison.
____________________________________
Observations
From the photos I’ve shared, you can see that filters significantly impact the portafilter’s insertion depth. Here are my findings with my Rocket Espresso R58, equipped with an E61 group that is almost new (the machine is only a year old and in excellent condition) :
•,With the LM 6mm portafilter, the insertion depth is only 3 mm, even when using a thin-walled basket. This is extremely shallow and makes the LM 6mm model completely incompatible with my machine.
•,In contrast, the E61 5mm portafilter fits perfectly, providing a solid and reliable connection.
____________________________________
My Recommendation
•,If your machine is equipped with an older and heavily worn E61 group: the LM 6mm model may be the better choice.
•,If your machine has a newer and less worn E61 group: you should absolutely go for the E61 5mm model, as insufficient insertion depth could cause issues.
To provide further clarity, I also measured the thickness of the LM 6mm and E61 5mm portafilters. These measurements will allow you to compare them with your machine’s original portafilter and assess how well they will fit your E61 group.
____________________________________
In Conclusion
The choice of portafilter depends on the wear and condition of your E61 group.
I hope this review helps you better understand the differences between the models and choose the one that perfectly suits your needs.

Additional Tip
I’d also like to point out something that might help you decide if you need basket. Some people one the web compare the PCL-C to the PESADO HE baskets. Honestly, and this is not about promoting PESADO, the PESADO HE is clearly superior to the PCL-C.
The PCL-C has a significant issue: the edges are so sharp and angular that it’s nearly impossible to fit the basket into a portafilter. It’s a real hassle, often taking several minutes to get it in place.
On the other hand, I achieve equally good—if not better—results with the PESADO HE, and its ergonomic design makes assembly and disassembly much easier.
So, if you’re hesitating between these two basket models, I strongly recommend the PESADO HE, if only for its superior usability and ergonomic advantage.

I am generally satisfied with the appearance, feel, etc.
However, the unfortunate thing is that when using a bottomless roll, the threads are not smooth, so when wiping with linen or a towel, the fabric gets caught.

It would be nice to be more careful with the finishing touches

very nice portafilter and compatible with many 58 sevens. It is quickly converted from bottomless to two outlet filters

High quality! Proffesionell. Love the white color. Beutifull with the silver espresso machine. People comment this part of the setup. Gold, white and silver looks awesome!
Bottomless portafilter with dubble sprout end if you want to. Love this kit! One of their best product. Must have!

Thanks for machining it for my Flair58. Works beautifully!

The best ever highest quality

Passt nicht zum la marzocco station

Fits perfectly onto the Pesado tamping station, looks great on my Rocket Giotto machine.

Great, good weight. Nice handle, feels great to use.

Very nice portafilter. Fits perfect(Profitec GO), looks amazing, very well built and great at retaining heat.

Did not give it a 5 star as it was a little tricky to get the spout screwed on to the right position on the portafilter. Otherwise works great
