portafilter
Coffee machine attachment
A portafilter is the handled device on an espresso machine that holds the ground coffee during extraction.
It locks into the group head, and pressurized water passes through the coffee packed in its basket.
The name combines "portable" and "filter": She tamped the grounds into the portafilter and locked it in place.
