Meticulously designed by our R&D engineer Hugh, our dosing funnel is an excellent addition to your barista tools. It allows for a swift, mess-free transfer of coffee grinds from your dosing cup or grinder to your portafilter basket. If you use a WDT tool, the dosing funnel will help keep those grounds contained.

Use It Your Way
Getting grinds into a portafilter can be a messy business, and each home barista has their own technique. With its 68mm upper diameter, our funnel is designed to capture all your coffee grounds, ensuring there is minimal wastage, so you can get the most out of your coffee beans with no mess.
Whether you want to use a hand grinder and dosing cup, or grind directly into the portafilter basket - you'll find its got just the right geometry. We've also designed it so that you can keep the funnel in position while you tamp or use a WDT tool to achieve the optimal coffee distribution.
Stand Out From the Crowd
Unconventional espresso is what we're all about here at 9Barista. That's why, in addition to a timeless black finish, we're also offering our dosing funnel in teal to make your barista tools look and feel extra special. The sand blasted and anodised finish gives the funnel a smooth, low friction surface so all your grinds go straight into your basket without any fuss.

FAQs
1. What is a dosing funnel used for in espresso making?
A dosing funnel helps guide coffee grinds neatly into your portafilter basket. It reduces mess, prevents waste, and makes it easier to use distribution tools like a WDT without grounds spilling over the sides.
2. Why is the 9Barista dosing funnel magnetic?
Our funnel uses 8 press-fit Neodymium magnets to snap securely onto your portafilter. This means it stays stable while you dose, distribute, and even tamp, no slipping, no fuss.
3. What size is the 9Barista dosing funnel?
It’s designed specifically as a 53mm dosing funnel, fitting perfectly with the 9Barista portafilter basket. The upper diameter is 68mm to capture every last grind from your grinder or dosing cup.
4. Can I tamp with the dosing funnel still on?
Yes. The funnel is engineered to stay in place while you tamp or use a WDT tool, making workflow smoother and reducing the chance of spilling grinds.
5. What materials is the funnel made from?
It’s machined from aircraft-grade aluminium, lightweight, durable, and strong enough to handle daily use. The anodised, sandblasted finish makes the surface smooth and low-friction, so coffee slides straight into the basket.
6. Does the funnel work with all grinders?
Yes. Whether you’re grinding directly into the portafilter or transferring from a dosing cup, the funnel’s geometry is designed to catch every particle.
8. How does a dosing funnel help reduce waste?
Without a funnel, grinds often spill over the portafilter edge, wasting coffee (and making a mess). The funnel captures every particle, so you keep more of your beans in the basket, and less on the counter.
9. Is the 9Barista dosing funnel compatible with non-9Barista machines?
It’s designed around a 53mm basket, so if your portafilter shares that size, it should fit. However, magnetic locking is optimised for the 9Barista basket.
10. Do I really need a dosing funnel?
Strictly speaking, no. But, once you’ve used one, you won’t want to go back. It makes dosing faster, cleaner, and more consistent, which means tastier espresso with less frustration.
