The Teflon portafilters sparked a lot of interest amongst those who saw them at the NBC. Turns out it was done by these enterprising souls – Portaflon.

I am hoping to get a few portafilters done for various machines because I think it is a really interesting idea, and I am becoming more and more obsessive (not necessarily in a good way) about the taste of dirt building up in the machine so anything to help improve the situation must be a positive thing.

I know a few people around the world were curious and it would be great to compare notes with other baristas. I’ve also seen footage of a Teflon coated steam wand they have done that wiped impressively clean after some consistant misuse. Drop them a line I guess…..
