Portafilter Platform

Many scales lack the width or length to properly support portafilters. The Acaia Pearl is one of the exceptions both with its good width and the padded upper mat it comes with, however, the portafilter can still slide off and again for most scales more space is needed. Enter the Portafilter Platform, these handy and good lookin pieces can help stabilize your portafilter while you get your ideal coffee dose for your espresso.

This Hickory piece features some great grain and a small wood defect that I cleaned out and filled with blue resin. I also finished the corners with a round-over bit to soften the edges. As with all Portafilter Platforms it is finished with a home mixture of mineral oil and beeswax.
