I am not sure what his item is for. Is it just to have the esspresso come though in a single stream and not the dual spouts?

This is for a single stream. If you need for a dual spouts then you need the: 58mm BES900XL Portafilter.

The naked portafilter is used to determine how well you are pulling shots. With the regular portafilter its not possible to diagnose a poor shot. You should see beads of espresso form uniformly around the bottom of the naked P as the shot builds pressure. It should then quickly go to a single stream. If the stream is broken or squirting out the sides then you have a problem with dose, tamp, grind, etc. I love the naked P.

It's to be able to see clearly the quality of your espresso pull. It's certainly not a necessary item, but nice to have to tune your espresso shots.

The purpose of this portafilter is to troubleshoot your grinding and tamping technique. If your technique is good you will see a single stream on the center of the portafilter. If it's not so good there will be all sorts of problems like secondary streams, squirts coming out of the periphery of the filter and an off-center stream. I had a lot of those issues and troubleshooting them one by one has improved my pulls greatly.

That is a benefit. Also it looks super sexy to watch the tiger striping and watch the fresh emulsified crema stream out

It is a naked filter. It is used to make sure your shots are being extracted evenly by visually inspecting the shot as it comes through the filter.

You would pop in the basket from your dual spout and pull a shot like you normally do. The difference is you will see the whole process in action as it saturates and extracts the puck. Look on YouTube and search for bottomless portafilter o naked espresso shot. I think the coffee has a more intense flavor since it doesn't hit another piece of metal and get divided. It will go straight into your shot glass. The other thing is you can understand by how the stream flows if it's over or under extracting. It should look syrupy and smooth with a tapering effect at the bottom of the stream. It's the only way I pull shots on my machine since I got it!

The naked portafilter does a few things. (1) It lets you watch the texture of the shot better, so you can refine your process (see: http://www.bluebottlecoffee.com/preparation-guides/espresso). (2) It makes tamping easier by giving you a completely flat bottom. (3) If you're pulling your shot on a scale to measure output, it makes it easier to precisely stop the pull when you want to (with the normal portafilter, there is often several grams of water that drip through after you stop the shot). I bought it primarily for the first reason, because I wanted to get better feedback about the texture while pulling the shot. It has helped me refine some grind and tamp problems that were causing thin shots. The naked portafilter does a few things.

A bottomless portafilter can be used to improve espresso tamping technique (you can see if there is any channeling when your shot is pulling, i.e. if the brew is mostly coming from certain spots at the bottom rather than consistently and pooling at the center). Also, there is less cleanup, and crema isn't lost in the spouts (meaning more in the cup and therefore more flavorful shots).

It comes with two cartridges. One for a single shot and another for a double or for making two singles because it has two spouts that will allow two espresso glasses to fit under it. YouTube search the model and you should find a video showing you how it works

You have to slide the espresso carafe from the left or right [depending on the position of the espresso carafe lid] of the filter holder for the carafe to fit around the filter holder spouts. This of course is without the two-cup adapter on the filter holder!

Yes, you can. The flow is split between the two spouts so the flow is weaker, but you can use both.

There is a small nut from the new device that is suppose to fit into position once you have removed the on-off handle from your existing spigot/faucet. Thats gotten fit or your hosed (pun intended). The best thing to do is check the manufacturere's website as they have a very helpful video that will detail the installation. Good luck.

It pretty much just comes out at one speed. The spout is either open or closed.

I'm not familiar with the Baby Brezza so I don't know, but it looks like that's a formula machine where as the OXO blocks are for food. They are not big enough to hold the contents of a full bottle. However, if there are options for smaller portions of formula that just dispense into any container underneath the spout, then I don't see why not. Sorry that I don't have a better answer.

The metal spout is fixed to one side. You actually have to slip the metal part into a plastic component.

I do not, this is what I needed to replace the spigot on a glass wall container. Perhaps a manufacturer has one, perhaps in metal, or.. you might use an extension nipple and coupling with the same thread.

Yes, but if you want the special "Water View Spigot" that shows the volume of water remaining in the tank, it has to be purchased separately. I own one and it is a good but not essential option. If saving money is you priority, then omit it - but if you have lots of money and want to give the economy a great stimulus - go for it!!

Hi Lisa- I am doing the same project, and plan to use this: http://www.amazon.com/genaric-Italian-Bottling-Spigot/dp/B0064OE2NM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1402488554&sr=8-6&keywords=spigot

It has two portafilters: one is for one portion of intense espresso (~ 1.5 oz) and the other is for two portions...

Not sure I understand the question. The spout includes a pump and they ship together in one package.

use the filter that is sized for one shot to get the right amount of coffee ground and put your espresso cup centered under both out "spigots" and the coffee will drop in the cup - scary the first time as you think it will not go in the cup but it does... Gravity is a great thing!

I am confused. The reason for buying the adapter is so that you can use paintball CO2 canisters which are way cheaper to fill. Your Soda Stream canister already fits in your Soda Stream machine.
