Will This Bottomless Portafilter Fit My Machine? The TimberFlare Fit Guide
Share
If you are asking whether a bottomless portafilter will fit your machine, start with the machine family first. Do not start with color, finish, or even basket diameter. The right fit depends on brand platform, model family, and only then size.
This page is the fastest way to choose the correct TimberFlare bottomless portafilter for Breville, La Marzocco, Gaggia Classic, and Rancilio Silvia setups.
Quick Answer
Breville owners usually need either a 54mm or 58mm Breville fit. La Marzocco owners need a La Marzocco 58mm platform fit. Gaggia Classic and Rancilio Silvia also use 58mm baskets, but they should be matched by machine family, not treated as universally interchangeable with La Marzocco.
Start Here by Machine Brand

The Most Common Mistake
Do not assume that every 58mm portafilter is universal. Basket diameter and machine-family fit are not the same thing. If you remember only one rule, remember that one.
When to Email Before Ordering

Not automatically. Use machine family first, then size as a checkpoint.

Email TimberFlare before ordering so the model can be checked manually.

No. TimberFlare-supported Breville machines split into 54mm and 58mm groups.
