Our take
Buy it if
Breville 54 mm owners who use a WDT tool and would love a cleaner counter.
Think twice if
The magnets need a slightly magnetic basket to grip; not every basket is
Advantages and limitations
Advantages
- Built-in neodymium magnets, pressed in without glue
- Knurled edge makes it easy to lift off
- Light, anodised aluminium
- Room to stir with a WDT tool without spilling
Limitations
- The magnets need a slightly magnetic basket to grip; not every basket is
- On Breville machines with a built-in grinder, the grinding cradle can't hold the portafilter while the funnel is on (per Normcore)
Overview
A dosing funnel is a ring that makes your basket taller, so grounds land inside instead of sprinkling across the counter. It also gives you room to stir with a WDT tool without flicking coffee everywhere. Small tool, big calm.
Sized for Breville. This is the 54 mm version of Normcore's 58 mm funnel, made for Breville's 54 mm portafilters. Magnets hold it in place so both hands stay free, and the knurled edge makes it easy to lift off.
Good to know for Barista Express owners: Normcore notes that on Breville machines with a built-in grinder, the cradle that holds the portafilter while grinding can't be used with the funnel fitted, so you'd hold the portafilter by hand under the grinder instead. With a separate grinder and a Bambino Plus, it simply sits on top.
If it feels loose: baskets are stainless steel and only slightly magnetic, so grip varies. Normcore suggests trying another basket if yours holds weakly.
