KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Funnel & Puck Screen overview
The KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Funnel & Puck Screen review covers a two-piece stainless steel kit for Breville's 54mm portafilter. It combines a magnetic dosing funnel with a 54mm puck screen for dosing control and a cleaner group head.
What the KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Funnel & Puck Screen set is
The set is made for Breville and Sage machines with 54mm portafilters. The funnel catches stray grounds during dosing and WDT, while the puck screen sits between the coffee puck and the group head.
It is a simple two-piece accessory set rather than a more complicated add-on. The main idea is to keep grounds contained at the basket and help water spread more evenly over the puck.
What comes in the box
The box includes 1x KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Dosing Funnel in stainless steel and 1x KNODOS 54mm Espresso Puck Screen in stainless steel. The page also shows 51mm, 54mm, and 58mm size options, with stainless steel shown as an alternative to anodized aluminum.
If you are looking at the 54mm version, the parts are matched to a 54 mm Breville Portafilter Basket. That makes the set relevant to buyers already working inside Breville's 54mm format.
Design and build
Build choices here are straightforward: stainless steel, magnetic hold, and a screen sized for 54mm Breville baskets.
Magnetic funnel fit at the portafilter rim
The dosing ring is a magnetic funnel that clips onto the top of your 54mm portafilter basket. Magnets hold it to the rim, which is the main way it stays in place during prep.
Stainless steel build and heavier feel
The body is stainless steel, and that makes it heavier than aluminum. It is also described as rust-resistant, which suits a part that will be handled and rinsed often.
Fine-mesh puck screen design
The 54mm filter screen is a fine-mesh stainless steel disc that goes between the coffee puck and the group head. That placement is what lets it work as the layer above the tamped coffee.
Features and performance
The set is built around two jobs, keeping grounds contained and shaping how water reaches the puck.
How the funnel contains grounds during dosing
The funnel extends the walls upward so coffee grounds stay contained while you dose, stir with a WDT tool, or use a distributor. That is the main practical benefit of the ring.
Because it sits above the basket, it helps keep stray grounds off the counter while you work. It is meant to give you more containment, not to change the basket itself.
How the puck screen supports a cleaner shot
The puck screen spreads water evenly across the tamped puck. It also reduces surface channeling and catches coffee fines that would otherwise clog the shower screen.
For buyers who want the shower screen to stay cleaner, that is the main role of the disc. It works as a stainless steel layer between the coffee and the group head.
Cleaning and maintenance
Care is simple after brewing.
Rinse and knock out after each shot
After the shot, knock out the puck and rinse both pieces. The set is stainless steel, so the listed routine is quick cleanup rather than a special maintenance process.
That makes it easy to keep in the daily espresso rotation without much extra effort. No more complicated care steps are listed.
What owners say about the KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Funnel & Puck Screen
Owner feedback on knodos.net centers on steadiness and fit.
What owners say about the funnel's weight and fit
Several owners say the funnel has a reassuring weight that keeps it steady while grinding and distributing grounds. They also praise the precise fit over the portafilter rim because it helps prevent messy spills and lost grounds on the counter.
One owner, though, said the magnet was very poor and the funnel kept falling off the portafilter. That makes hold strength a real point to check if you are sensitive to how accessories sit on the basket.
Who the KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Funnel & Puck Screen is for
This set is aimed at people using Breville or Sage 54mm espresso machines.
Who the KNODOS 54mm set fits
It fits Barista Express, Pro, Touch, Bambino Plus, Infuser, and Duo Temp Pro, and it also fits all Sage 54mm espresso machines. If you want a funnel and puck screen sized for that basket format, this is the right category.
Trade-offs to know
A few fit and workflow limits are worth checking before you buy.
Fit and workflow limits to check
One owner said the screens were a little thicker than they wanted, and another said the funnel worked on a bottomless portafilter but not as well on single or double spout portafilters.
Another owner reported that it would not fit the Fiorenzato All Ground Sense Dark T Espresso Coffee Grinder because the top flares out too much. The funnel also does not activate the Breville built-in grinder trigger.

KNODOS 54mm Magnetic Funnel & Puck Screen verdict
This set suits Breville or Sage 54mm owners who want a contained dosing workflow and a puck screen together. The main trade-off is fit sensitivity, especially around magnet hold and portafilter style.
The set makes sense for Breville or Sage 54mm owners who want a contained dosing workflow and a puck screen in one kit. The main trade-off is fit sensitivity: the magnet and basket shape may matter more than some buyers expect. If you use a spouted portafilter or want a lighter accessory, check the limitations first.
