The Matfer Bourgeat Piston Funnel is a manually operated depositing and portioning tool used across pastry, confectionery, and sauce sections. The operator fills the copolyester body, selects one of the four interchangeable nozzles, and depresses the piston to deliver a controlled, consistent flow. The 1.5 litre capacity is well suited to individual portion work and small-batch production runs where precision matters more than volume.

In a working kitchen, tools like this justify their place through repeatability and reduced mess rather than any single standout feature. The copolyester construction resists staining, cleans thoroughly between batches, and holds up to the kind of daily handling that wears out lesser equipment quickly. The ergonomic handle reduces wrist strain during extended finishing work — relevant when you are plating large numbers of portions under service pressure.

Four nozzles (2mm, 4mm, 5mm, 8mm) give precise control over flow rate and finish
Stainless steel stand keeps the funnel stable and off the bench between uses
Copolyester body resists staining and cleans to food-safe standards with minimal effort
Ergonomic handle design reduces fatigue during repetitive portioning tasks
No setup required — ready to use anywhere with adequate prep space

There are no installation requirements; this is a hand tool that works wherever you have prep space and the right mixture to hand. Operators who regularly work through higher volumes in a single session may find a larger-capacity model a more practical fit for their workflow.

If you are weighing up nozzle sizes or wondering whether the 1.5 litre capacity suits your production volumes, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Which nozzle size is best for sauce work versus confectionery?

For fine confectionery detail or thin sauces, the 2mm or 4mm nozzle gives the most controlled flow. The 5mm and 8mm nozzles are better suited to thicker mixtures such as ganache, cream, or chunky sauces where a narrower opening would restrict flow or require excessive force on the piston. If you are working across both applications, it is worth keeping all four nozzles to hand.

Is the 1.5 litre capacity sufficient for high-volume pastry production?

The 1.5 litre body suits individual portion work and short production runs well, but if your team is working through large batches continuously it will require frequent refilling, which adds time. For higher-volume production environments, a larger-capacity funnel may reduce interruptions and suit the workflow better.

How straightforward is the funnel to clean between batches?

The copolyester construction is non-porous and resists staining, which makes it practical to clean thoroughly between batches — important when switching between flavours, colours, or allergen-containing mixtures. The nozzles detach for individual cleaning, and the simple piston mechanism has no awkward internal cavities that tend to trap residue.
