CAPFEI 51mm Bottomless Portafilter for Delonghi ECP3420/EC155/BCO430/EC260, 2 Ears, Stainless Steel, 1 Count, Black

Well made, sturdy and fits my De’Longhi Stilosa working well. Delicious espresso on a budget!

Exactly as expected, 2 ear bottomless portafilter, fits my delonghi ecp 3420 espresso machine. Tried it out this morning, works well, no leaks. Arrived next day with prime delivery.

It’s a bit strange to read reviews saying that coffee sprays everywhere with this portafilter. It doesn’t offer any special advantage over a standard portafilter in terms of taste or espresso quality. What this filter actually provides: 1. If you make mistakes when tamping the coffee, it may result in splashes, uneven flow, and other issues. This means your tamping technique is incorrect and needs practice. Once tamping is done correctly, the result will be excellent and splash-free. 2. It is significantly more compact in height, which allows you to place coffee scales on your machine’s platform. 3. It enables more experimentation with grind size.

If you have a delonghi espresso machine with two ears portafilter and want to start with unpressurised basket. This is the perfect tool. High quality and affordable price. Don't buy it unless you have a espresso level grinder.

Fits the grouphead but leaks/sprays water which is dangerous.

I was actually kind of surprised when this showed up. My expectations were pretty low for some reason. But when it came I found it to be of really high quality. It looks and feels good, it almost is nicer than the espresso machine. I did have some concern that the machine wouldn't be able to handle it as the manufacturer actually states that my Delonghi Stilosa doesn't have the ability to manage pressure without the provided pressurized basket. But this works great, over and over again. It really made dialing in a lot easier. It is much nicer than the provided portafilter and fits perfectly. Do yourself a favor and order this, get rid of the pressurized basket. I don't have any issue with leaking, and the basket fits snugly into the machine. Fantastic portafilter.
