  • Publication number: 20230210300
    Abstract: A portafilter for use with an espresso coffee machine includes a handle, a receptacle, and a top cover. The receptacle has a void or reservoir that contains a single-use coffee cartridge (e.g., a K-CUP® cartridge). A bottom surface of the receptacle has needles directed into the void or reservoir which pierce a bottom surface of the cartridge, thereby creating holes in the bottom of the cartridge to allow liquid (e.g., hot coffee) to flow out of the cartridge. A hole in the bottom surface of the receptacle allows liquid hot coffee to flow out of the receptacle and into a coffee cup. The top cover includes tubular protrusions directed downward which pierce a top surface of the cartridge, thereby creating holes in the top surface of the cartridge to allow hot water from the espresso machine to flow through the tubes and into the top of the cartridge.
