What is an Espresso Dosing Ring?

If you use a BrewTool WDT Tool then this is the perfect addition.

Purpose:

A dosing ring is designed to fit securely around the portafilter of an espresso portafilter. Designed to create a protection ring that prevents ground coffee from spilling over the edges during the dosing and distribution of coffee grounds.
Using one with a WDRT tool is recommended which can assist with a more consistent and balanced extraction when brewing espresso.

Features:

• Compatibility: The BrewTool Dosing ring is compatible with all 58 cm portafilters. Additionally, it is equipped with magnets that facilitate easy attachment to the basket. For smaller portafilters, a small rubber ring is included to assist with fitting, although this means the magnets do not automatically attach the unit,
• Material: Constructed from stainless steel and aluminum, the dosing ring offers durability and easy cleaning.
• Design: The dosing ring boasts a wide, flat base that securely rests on the rim of the portafilter. Its narrow funnel-shaped body effectively guides the coffee grounds into the filter basket, ensuring a neat and precise process.
• Ease of Use: Featuring an ergonomic design for effortless handling, the dosing ring is also designed to be easily detachable for cleaning and maintenance.
• Consistency: Dosing rings prevent coffee grounds from spilling, thereby contributing to the consistency of the espresso-making process. This aspect holds particular significance in commercial settings and for home baristas who prioritize precision in their craft.
• Magentic: The ring / collar has magnets that attached it to the 58mm portafitler. If you have a smaller portafitler it has a rubber gasket that allows you to use it on the smaller portafilter.
