Product Description
The ARO PortaStack™ | Shake Bundle is designed for espresso enthusiasts who want the simplest and fastest puck prep process without sacrificing shot consistency or cleanliness. By introducing a controlled shaking step and intentionally skipping needle-based distribution, this bundle focuses on breaking up clumps and evening density while reducing variability and mess. The result is a workflow that is forgiving, repeatable, and easy to execute.
This configuration uses the ARO Shaker™ as the sole preparation step and skips any follow-on distribution. The Shaker helps fine and coarse particles mix evenly to support consistent water flow through the puck. Integrated with the PortaStack system, the Shaker sits elevated above the basket with a controlled drop height, allowing particles to settle more evenly before tamping. The outcome is a more uniform starting bed that improves consistency without adding complexity.
What’s Included in the Bundle
ARO PortaFunnel™ – PortaStack Edition ▾
Magnetic dosing funnel that serves as the foundation and docking platform of the PortaStack system.
Uses integrated arc magnets for a secure hold on the portafilter basket and an embedded steel docking ring to stack compatible tools onto the funnel, enabling efficient, hands-free dosing and puck prep with minimal mess.
ARO Shaker™ ▾
Magnetic espresso grounds agitator that breaks up clumps and evens density before distribution.
Docks magnetically to the PortaFunnel for a controlled, spill-resistant workflow using an elevated drop height to promote more uniform particle settling and a cleaner starting point for further distribution and/or tamping.
ARO Auto-Level Tamper™ ▾
Self-leveling, single-spring espresso tamper designed to maintain precise alignment while preserving tactile feedback, allowing you to feel the puck compress evenly.
The flared sleeve docks to the PortaFunnel to self-center and level the tamper before first contact with the grounds, creating a more repeatable and controlled start to tamping.
