Normcore 54mm Magnetic Dosing Funnel V2 - Espresso Coffee Dosing Ring - 18mm Anodized Aluminum with 8 Neodymium Magnets Fits 54mm Breville Portafilter

I wanted to streamline our espresso workflow. I added the Normcore Magnetic Dosing Funnel V2 to our kit because loading up the portafilter & using the WDT was causing a mess on the counter. This funnel stays put and looks great. is it required? No. Does it work great? Yes! The Good: What Works Well Rock-solid attachment: The magnets are impressively strong. It snaps onto the portafilter and doesn't budge. WDT’s Best Friend: It provides the necessary height to use a WDT tool without making a mess. Low Profile: Unlike some "tall" funnels, this one is compact enough to fit under many grinder dispensers while still attached to the portafilter. Premium Finish: The matte black anodized aluminum feels incredibly durable and matches high-end espresso gear perfectly. The Not-So-Good: Price Point: It is definitely a premium option. You can find plastic versions for less, but they won't have the same weight or magnetic security. Pro Tips: Maintenance: This is anodized metal; do not put it in the dishwasher. Just wipe it with a dry cloth or a dedicated coffee brush. Magnet Care: Keep the bottom magnets clean. If coffee oils or grounds build up on the magnets, the "snap" won't feel as secure. Compatibility: Make sure you pick the right size!

Did you know there are 2 different types of dosing funnels, one with a inner collar/lip and one with an outer one? the normcore dosing funnel has an outer collar/lip, which means it secures to the outside of the portafilter basket, keeping it lined up. i didn't realize when i bought it, but the advantages to the outer lip is that there is no space or gap when the dosing funnel is removed (the inner lip takes up space along the edge of the basket, leaving a ring of space without coffee grounds). having the lip on the outside means, when you're done with your wdt, you don't have to do anything else besides tamp. at first, i was getting grounds all over the place when i was tamping because the grounds would push out to the sides as i was pushing down. i realized that the tamp (normcore v4 tamper) fit perfectly in the dosing funnel, so before i removed the funnel, i would lightly tamp with the tamper, giving me a little more space to place the tamper without worrying about grounds going all over the place. the magnets on this dosing funnel work pretty well, although, depending on your basket, it may work better than others. when magnetically attaching the funnel to different baskets, flipping the funnel upside down and shaking, holding the basket, the dosing funnel held pretty securely to the pressurized baskets that came w/ my delonghi, as well as the basket that came with my bottomless portafilter. the ims precision competition basket however, doesn't hold as securely. i thought at first it was because the lip of the basket was too big, but it turns out it's the same size as everything else. it turns out that while most of the top of the basket is flat, the inner edge is raised, maybe to help keep grounds from coming out. that raised bump on the top of the basket, is taller than the other baskets, so the metal that is to come in contact with the magnet is further away compared to the other baskets. still, it holds it securely enough while using it normally, so i won't be doing any modifications to the ims basket. the normcore also flares out at the top, making it wider. this helps with wdt-ing, allowing to work at more angles compared to the straight walled versions. it also makes pouring your grounds into the basket easier. although a little more expensive compared to other dosing funnels, i am very satisfied with how it makes it easy to wdt and tamp without making a mess. there was a little learning curve/trial and error to find the best way to use it, but i figured it out on day 2. would definitely consider buying another if i get a different machine with a different portafilter size

Pretty good quality. Not a perfectly aligned fit ( interior circle mostly matches up ) Be aware if you have a Stainless Steel portafilter like my premium ECM Synchronika's it will be a weak magnetic fit. Adequate, but not firm by any means. Quite the flare in this collar but the height is good. Much lighter than Steel, more durable than plastic. Half the price of a colored plastic collar with much weaker magnets.

I'm feeling a little odd because I was elated that the Normcore 51mm Espresso Dosing Funnel V2 is a perfect fit for my ECP3420 stock portafilter, and no one should be this excited by a coffee attachment yet here I am. I like to push my double shots a little heavy and this funnel really does make it a LOT easier to drop it in and whisk around with the WDT tool without creating a mess. Its a perfect match up, no gaps in between the two pieces, the magnets actually do stick a bit but its a secure enough fit that it won't be an issue. You can even use the stock tamper with the funnel still on, or remove it and use your own tamper. I actually have a new bottomless portafilter handle and basket coming tomorrow, and they're from Normcore as well so shouldn't be any issues, but with the stock setup this funnel alone will really make it easier on your process. And it looks really slick in the silver, too, really nicely made, nice weight to it, definite recommend.

Perfect fit and high quality paint and magnets. Easy to clean, feels solid. The pant finish minimizes coffee retention.

I bought this funnel because I wanted to prevent my coffee grounds to not fly out of my portafilter when using a WDT tool AND also when transferring from the grounds bin to the portafilter. I purchased the Normcore 58mm Magnetic Dosing Funnel V2 for $17.99 November 2025. Although it's not the lowest price for another espresso setup accessory like this, it does the job and so far I've had a good experience with Normcore's products. For reference, I have Profitec Move that comes with a 58mm portafilter. This dosing funnel does "stick" on with the magnet, but it's not super strong and doesn't have a satisfying click. With my particular portafilter, there is a little shifting of the tool on the lip. It's annoying, but not the worse. The exposed magnets design does make me a little nervous (it's more about if that small magnet gets dislodged unknowingly), but it looks like other comparable funnels have that same design. Oh well. I feel that the height of this funnel is sufficient while going at the grounds with a WDT tool. It could be taller for peace of mind, but I imagine if you wanted to use this with an espresso grinder's portafilter hooks, you might want it low like Normcore's offering. Overall, solid purchase and streamlines pulling espresso shots (when using WDT and having to do transfer from grinder to portafilter) while minimizing coffee waste.

Perfect fit on the Normcore bottomless portafilter. The magnets are definitely strong enough to hold the funnel in place. I'm wondering if the other reviews stating otherwise are using portafilters made with a less magnetic material. No issues with magnets falling out either (based on daily use over the last two months)

Definitely a game changer! Works great for keeping the ground coffee in place, inside the portafilter. Using the WDT is much easier since buying this
