Metallurgica Motta 8350/585 Barista Coffee Espresso Leveling Tool for 58.5 mm Porta Filter, Black

This is a great quality - you can tell by the weight/materials used. It calibrated easily and while I was torn between this and one with a wood/walnut top that matches my Ascaso Duo knob and handle, I know Motta products are exceptional quality, a known brand and not a mass product product from China, and the cat on it sold me the rest of the way 😺

The 58.5 mm size perfectly fits a 58 mm La Marzocco advanced precision portafilter basket.

Works like a charm.....beautifully made coffee leveler with precise adjustments.

I’m new to this extra tool for espresso making and really like how it levels the coffee in preparation for a no spray bottomless porta filter. Works just right and spins with a cute cat on top. Love!

Since there is a significantly smaller gap between the leveler and basket (I use an IMS), Coffee grounds barely stick to the sides of both the basket and leveler. This results in much cleaner puck prep.The cat logo is a bonus =)

Once calibrated, this really helped me pull consistent shots. Great weight and feel but I have nothing to compare it to. Pay attention to your grind weights then this thing will come in handy. If it isn’t working, you are doing something else wrong.

Great, affordable solid leveler. Easy to adjust. Well built. Integral part of my daily workflow. I recommend it.

Seems to have improved the consistency of my shots. Makes puck prep a breeze.
