It's a completely different way of locking into the group. Rather than the twist-and-lock motion baristas use on every other espresso machine, the KB90 uses a straight push-in action with a lever release, cutting out the repetitive wrist rotation that builds up over a long shift. Independent research commissioned by La Marzocco found the Straight-In system can reduce barista wrist strain by as much as twelve times compared with a standard twist-lock portafilter, which matters enormously in high volume sites pulling hundreds of shots a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis genuine replacement, part A.5.114, is the double spout version, built in stainless steel to the same tolerances as the portafilter your KB90 shipped with. Because the Straight-In locking mechanism is specific to the KB90, this portafilter is not interchangeable with the twist-lock portafilters used across the rest of the La Marzocco range, so it's essential to order the correct Straight-In version rather than a standard 58mm portafilter when replacing a worn or damaged unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're replacing a portafilter that's taken a knock, refreshing a well-used group after years of service, or simply keeping spares on hand for a busy multi-group site, this is the genuine part sourced to keep your KB90 performing exactly as intended. As with all La Marzocco portafilters, the filter basket is sold separately, so you can choose the dose and basket profile that suits your coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine La Marzocco part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: A.5.114\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription: Portafilter Straight-In, double spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned exclusively for the La Marzocco KB90's Straight-In coffee group system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction, double spout outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses standard 58mm filter baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter basket not included, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with standard twist-lock La Marzocco groups, KB90 Straight-In system only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat machine is this portafilter for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the genuine double spout portafilter for the La Marzocco KB90, built specifically for its Straight-In group engagement system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fit my other La Marzocco machine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Straight-In locking mechanism is exclusive to the KB90, so this portafilter is not interchangeable with the twist-lock portafilters used on other La Marzocco machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"Straight-In\" actually mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than twisting to lock into the group, the KB90's portafilter pushes straight in and engages via a lever release. It's designed to reduce the repetitive wrist strain that builds up from twist-lock motions over a long shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this come with a filter basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This is the portafilter body only.

The Straight-In mechanism only changes how the portafilter engages with the group, not how the espresso itself is extracted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a single spout version available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, La Marzocco also produces a single spout Straight-In portafilter for the KB90, part number A.5.113, alongside a naked (bottomless) version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Marzocco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42731418943541,"sku":"05LM-A5114-KB90PFD","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1572\/files\/05lm-a5114-kb90pfd01.jpg?v=1786537266","url":"https:\/\/ozonecoffee.mom\/products\/lm-kb90-portafilter-w-double-spout","provider":"Ozone Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
