Explore the Pesado 58.5 Range
Dosing Tools
Get the dose right and you're halfway to a brilliant shot. Pesado's 58.5 dosing cups, rings and tubes are made for 58.5mm portafilters and built to give you precise, repeatable dosing every single time. Because the weight, spread and evenness of your grounds shape everything that follows, this is where great espresso quietly begins. They're tough, easy to use, and paired with a solid tamper and portafilter - they cut channelling, lift extraction and let you hit your favourite recipe again and again, whether the queue's out the door or it's just you and a Sunday morning.
Distribution Tools
A bumpy, clumpy puck is the silent enemy of good coffee. Pesado's 58.5 WDT distribution tool sorts that out, teasing the grounds level and even before you tamp so water flows through without taking shortcuts. The result is a balanced, repeatable shot with none of the nasty surprises. It's durable, dead easy to use, fits a huge range of setups, and quickly becomes the step you never skip again.
Extraction Tools, Shower Screens & Baskets
This is where the magic actually happens. Pesado's 58.5 extraction tools, precision baskets and filters give you control over the variables that matter most - grind, water temperature and brew time, so a great cup stops being a happy accident. The 58.5mm baskets and filters pull clean, uniform shots, play nicely with a range of brewing methods, and shrug off daily use. Add a precision shower screen to spread water evenly across the puck, and every pour comes out that bit cleaner and more even.
Portafilters
Stainless steel, beautifully made, and built for the long haul, Pesado's 58.5 portafilters bring the precision serious espresso demands without the fuss. Want everyday, controlled extraction across most machines? The spouted portafilter has you covered. Chasing perfect technique? The bottomless (naked) portafilter shows you the shot as it pours, so you can spot channelling and dial things in like a pro. Either way, grind, tamp, and timing are firmly in your hands, and our guide helps you match the right one to your machine.
Barista Tampers
Tamping looks simple. Doing it evenly, shot after shot, is an art and the right tamper makes all the difference, squeezing out the gaps and channels that ruin extraction. What matters is the material (steel or aluminium), a base sized to your basket, a handle that feels right, and the kind of weight and balance that turns the tool into an extension of your hand. Pesado's 58.5mm tampers tick every box: precision-made for a consistent press, ergonomic for comfort, and built to last.
About Pesado
Pesado is an Australian design and engineering brand, and it shows — these are tools born from a near-obsessive love of detail, quality, function and good looks. The mission is refreshingly clear: deliver the highest quality possible to push professional performance, and build a global community of coffee perfectionists along the way.
What Makes Pesado Different?
Pesado isn't just another accessory brand - it's a precision kit that flat-out refuses to compromise on the cup. Everything is engineered around real espresso pressure and proper professional standards, so the shots you pull at home stand shoulder to shoulder with your favourite café's. It comes down to a few things: components machined to exact 58.5mm tolerances for an even, repeatable extraction; design that looks as sharp on the bench as it performs in the hand; stainless steel and quality materials built for daily punishment; and above all, consistency — the same great shot whether it's your first of the day or your fiftieth. That's why coffee perfectionists keep coming back.

A spouted portafilter channels espresso into one or two streams for controlled, everyday extraction across most machines. A bottomless (naked) portafilter removes the spout so you can see the shot as it pours — invaluable visual feedback for spotting channelling and refining your tamping and distribution technique. Many baristas keep both: spouted for daily use, bottomless for dialling in.
A tamper is essential, but distribution and dosing tools take your consistency further. Accurate dosing controls how much coffee goes in, while a WDT distribution tool evens out the grounds before tamping — together they remove the clumps and gaps that cause channelling. Used as a set, they deliver more even extraction, clearer flavour and far more repeatable shots, at home or behind the bar.
