Coffee Appreciation

if you're not grinding your own beans I wouldn't bother, to get decent results from a bottomless requires trial and error and a decent technique and buying all your coffee ground at a single fineness means if it's off for that bean/roast you'll have a bad time with the whole batch. especially as it changes as the coffee gets older.

edit: should probably clarify. by 'results' I mean the pour coming out as a stream, everything else would be the same regardless, you just wont see it with a spout on the portafilter.

so is there a replacement you or anyone else would recommend other than the bog standard for getting a better shot out?
