1. Dosing Funnel
If you’re tired of cleaning up coffee grounds that spill out of your portafilter, you have a few options. One is to be extra careful while transferring your portafilter from the the grinder to the group head, but this can be tricky as grounds tend to fall from the portafilter when dislodging it form the grinder.
Another option is to upgrade to a machine like the Breville Oracle Touch, which comes with an auto tamper that avoids the mess. However, this is a costly upgrade.
A final option is to purchase a dosing funnel that attaches to the portafilter and allows you to grind beans directly into the filter basket. Breville manufactures a dosing funnel that is compatible with several of their models, including the Barista Express, Barista Pro, and Barista Touch. This is an easy and cost-effective way to avoid the mess of spilling coffee grounds.
Breville Dosing Funnel for 54mm Portafilters
Grinding and tamping can be messy business, but the Dosing Funnel™ attachment for the portafilter prevents coffee grinds from overflowing, to help reduce mess and waste. Compatible with Breville 54mm portafilters used on the Barista Express(BES870), Barista Pro (BES878), and the Barista Touch (BES880). BPA free materials and dishwasher safe. Less mess, less waste.
$14.95
If the Breville Dosing Funnel is not available, or if you prefer a stainless steel funnel, then we recommend this generic dosing funnel:
- Designed to work with the Breville 54mm Portafilter baskets including Barista Express, Pro, Touch, Bambino Plus, Infuser and Duo-Temp Pro
- Hands Free Design: With a twisting lock, it attaches securely and is easy to connect and remove. There are grooves that are meant to slide into the chute, then the front tap auto-activates the grinder for a perfect dose
- Avoid Mess and Waste: With a coffee dosing funnel, all the coffee goes into the portafilter basket and significantly reduces the mess and difficulty in loading and tamping
- Auto Grind and Easy to Tamp: With this dosing ring, you can activate the grinder with its front tap, allowing your machine’s auto dose feature to work as intended. Using this dosing ring makes it easier to tamp or distribute without spilling when the portafilter basket is overflowing with a heap of grounds

2. Traditional Knock Box
A knock box is essential for anyone serious about making espresso. Its purpose is to dispose of used coffee ground “pucks” after pulling an espresso shot. You simply knock the portafilter against the knock box to knock out the expresso puck. The Breville knock box is made of durable stainless steel and features a rubber base to protect your countertop.

3. Knock Box Upgrade: The Puck Sucker
If you have others living in your house, a knock box may wake them while you make yourself your daily espresso. Luckily, Breville has created the “Puck Sucker”; an alternative to a traditional knock box. This innovative accessory features a suction cup that creates a rapid vacuum to extract the coffee puck from the portafilter, making cleaning easy and quick.
Knock Box Upgrade: Breville Puck Sucker
No Knock, No Mess, No Fuss. Quietly releases your espresso coffee via vacuum. Replaces a noisy knock box for those who live with others and don't want to disrupt their sleep.
$79.95
4. Bottomless Portafilter
A “bottomless” or “naked” portafilter is one that does not have a solid base. Without the solid base, you can clearly see the extraction process and water flow in real time, which can help you troubleshoot problems and improve your espresso.
