RancilioSilvia Bottomless Portafilter - Version 3

I bought this for my husband’s Rancillio Sylvia espresso machine and he just loves it. He now makes perfect latte macchiatos and it works very well. Fits perfectly of course since it was made especially for this machine. It’s heavy and sturdy. Very well made.

This is a 21gm basket with a bottomless portafilter.. expensive but worth it to nail your espresso. Any flaws in grinding of the beans including inconsistency, and tamping techniques are easily demonstrated

Received 2days ago, ship and sold by amazon US.Can anyone advise if the engraving for bottomless portafilter v3 looks like in the pictures?The 2 pieces of smaller baskets on the right is laser etched with the brand and product lot/item code number but the one that came with the portafilter v3 looks punched on it which is barely visible.The pull from the 21g basket is not uniform too.The portafilter on the right and laser etched baskets comes with the silvia i‘d gotten last month.Just need some heads up from coffee lovers here if I’d gotten a knockoff.Would gladly remove this comment if I’m mistaken.Appreciated!

I purchased this from wholelattelove through amazon a whopping $10 more than other websites 1. For "Prime" convenience, and 2. Most importantly because wholelattelove gives a lot of free information on their website and YouTube. Shipping and delivery was prompt and packaging was excellent.This triple shot basket and bottomless portafilter works excellent and has that wow factor as you watch your liquid black honey pump into your cup. A majority of the time I drink my espresso straight up black, so having a bit more to sip on is a welcome addition compared to my smaller filter. Also making one extra macchiato at a sitting helps saves time and increases work by 50 percent compared to the double shot. BONUS!It does feel a bit lighter than the original filter due to the missing spout, but none the less, it feels very durable. The basket itself lodges inside the filter very snug and can be a bit difficult to remove by hand if you try to grab the lip. The engineer in me took a few minutes and realized, just flip it over upside down, and push the filter out through. Way easier!The only slight downside is since it doesn't have the spout, so it can't sit on my rocky grinder hands free. Typically I allow my spouted one to sit there while operating/cleaning/drying my espresso machine. No bid deal I suppose; just leave it on the counter.I am glad I made the extra purchase for this portafilter and believe that if you have a rancilio espresso machine, you won't regret it.

I got my Rancilio Bottomless filter today and tried it out right away. I put in double shot basket (18g) since I didn't want to do a triple shot. The basket fit just fine into the porta filter and into the Silvia. Got a great shot out of it.Overall I think it's a great Bottemless filter. The metal around the portafilter feels solid and looks great. The handle is good but there area where you find the Rancilio logo has some plastic edges that stick out and feel a little sharp, but not a deal breaker. I think if you want to get a bottomless portafilter, highly recommend getting this one to improve your espresso game.
