Filter espresso coffee with our portafilter papers
Engineered fit for espresso portafilters
Get the benefits of paper filters whatever your home espresso setup. The circular filter papers are cut with diameters to fit 58 mm portafilters with sizes for under and on top of the puck, and for tapered and straight-walled baskets. Based on precise measurements of common filter basket brands and dosages, our automated process control ensures that the size you order from Esspero is exactly what you get. Perfect for espresso machines with 58mm portafilters, including Sage (Oracle and Dual Boiler models), Gaggia Classic, Rocket Appartamento, Lelit Bianca, Rancilio Silvia, Dualit, La Marzocco Linea, and any machine with an e61 brew group head.
Certified quality and food-safe production
Brew in confidence. Manufactured from pure-grade filter paper, Esspero products meet the highest standards. Our paper is regularly and independently tested to ensure it meets applicable EU food legislation as well as US FDA requirements. To ensure the best quality and preserve the taste of your coffee, we only use virgin pulp with no residual traces of wood. After manufacture, the filters are processed and packaged to Global Food Safety Initiative standards.
Sustainable manufacturing in Europe
Support environmentally conscious production close to home. Our EU-based paper mill uses pulp from certified sustainable forestry operations and its own renewable energy source to make the paper. The process uses no environmental pollutants. While we do use bleached pulp to remove any residual taste of wood (like all white filter papers), we use a chlorine-free bleaching process for the minimum possible impact. Finished and packaged in the UK, at Esspero we use recycled, recyclable and biodegradable materials at every opportunity.
Carbon neutral to your doorstep
Minimise your footprint. Our sustainable manufacturing gives us the perfect starting point to minimise our carbon footprint. We calculate the emissions of the raw materials, operations, transportation and logistics to get your espresso filter papers to you, and then we buy carbon credits to offset them. We know this is still not enough, and we are committing to reach Net Zero. Read more here.

Let customers speak for us
I highly recommend this product. Make sure to look at "choose correct size". The customer service here is second to none. Enjoy your coffee :-)
I've been using these papers (puck and shower-screen) for well over two months now, and apart from some weirdness at the start - faster flow using two puck papers rather than one! - the improvement in my espressos has been HUGE. Consistent flow rate and sweeter tasting coffee, and as others have said, the clean up process is SOOO much better! On top of it all, Richard has been really helpful in sorting out the early quirks. Highly recommended.
Great filters, the straight size fits my VST basket nicely! Super quick delivery and great customer service too!
I’ve used the espresso filter paper and the puck screen paper combined, and I can honestly say it has improved the extraction and flavour of my shots, as well as making cleaning machine and basket a doddle. I’m only a ‘home barista’ and have been doubtful of the various gadgets - cheap and expensive - which supposedly improve the end product, but these papers really work. Thoroughly recommended.
Just tried the filters and first impressions are great.
I bought filters for under and over puck in a 58mm basket thinking they’d be the same size (due to a small discount the top filters were cheaper than simply getting 2 of the bottom lot) but they aren’t. They are both very specifically sized and fit my IMS basket perfectly.
So I had my shots dialled in but wanted to try pop papers for clarity and to reduce channeling. It’s completely changed the way the shot pulls so I’m still dialling in dose and grind. Customer service is very good.
I have finally reached the perfect cup. I use a fine grind with a wet paper at the bottom and a dry one on the top. Instead of the usual bitterness associated with the fine grind, I have a lovely smooth strong flavour with no hint of bitterness. I now know what the fuss is all about. Now let's have a 54mm paper please!!!
I am no coffee expert so can’t claim these filters have changed the way I enjoy espresso. But there are benefits in the workflow as I find the clean-up of the portafilter to be less messy with two of these filters in place. For that reason alone I will keep buying this useful product.
Combined with the correct grind and a good machine, Esspero filters help produce as perfect a home espresso as I have ever managed. And MASSIVELY reduce mess!
