Wilcox Handmade Brewing Parts 'Making of a Portafilter Handle'

Wilcox Handmade Coffee Parts are 100% Australian made and owned. We specialise in producing small batches of high-quality handmade coffee and brewing parts from a traditional workshop in Perth, Western Australia utilising old growth Australian hardwood's.

We have performed bespoke works for customers across several continents and also have a collection of coffee tampers, portafilter handles, steam knob and beer tap handle designs to fit a wide variety of tastes or usage requirements.

As shown in the video, each piece is carefully constructed by a skilled old school hand craftsman (without the aid of modern duplicators), utilising old growth sustainable and reclaimable Australian hardwood's with strong characteristics.

Every vivid swirling knot and sap hole tells the story of the composition and growth of the tree. The wood cutting and finishing processes intensifies these features when the light reflects or becomes immersed into the grain, revealing a depth of hues and colours. Likewise, each coffee part is created using flowing ergonomic designs to ensure a comfortable grip in the hand.

Although batches are all similar in shape and size, everything that leaves the workshop is one of a kind and has its own individual character.
