51mm Bottomless Portafilter 2 Ears for Delonghi Stilosa ECP3420/EC155/BCO430/EC260,Stainless Steel Filter Basket and Rosewood Handle

Extremely well made. Fits into the De Longhi perfectly, no leaks. Makes a good espresso though there is less crema than on a regular portafilter, but I attribute that to the 15 lb pressure on the machine more than anything else. I'm very happy with this unit.

I was genuinely excited when this 51mm bottomless portafilter arrived — it looked and felt like a high-end espresso accessory James Bond might use on his day off. The stainless steel basket is solid and well-made, and the walnut handle? Smooth, elegant, and frankly, nicer than some of the furniture in my house. the espresso extraction process, which, if you've never seen it, is equal parts science, art, and magic. It made me feel like a true home barista Sadly, I had to return it because I ordered the wrong size for my machine. Completely user error — not the portafilter’s fault. But if you do have a compatible 51mm machine, I can’t recommend this enough. Just make sure to double-check your measurements, unlike me. In short: great product, wrong portafilter, still worth the five star

This portafilter fit my coffee machine perfectly. I only had one problem, though: when the coffee flows out of the portafilter, it sprays everywhere like a shower. I haven't been able to find a solution for this, so you would need to use a much larger container to catch the freshly brewed coffee., the size is perfect

I was looking for a shallow bottomless portafilter so that I could easily see the basket whiole making espresso with my De'longhi Stilosa. The illustrations for this item make it look just right, but, while the given dimensions are accurate, the illustration make the item appear much shallower than it actually is. There is an 11mm gap between the bottom of the 22mm filter basket and the bottom rim of the handle, making it difficult to see with a cup on the drain plate. I have solved this problem by removing the drain box, using a thinner scale, and placing a small mirror where it shows the bottom of the basket. So, I decided to keep this portafilter rather than to search endlessly for a shallower one. Used with a WDT tool, spring loaded tamper, a puck screen, and a bottom paper filter, I am now able to make much more satisfying espresso and watch the shot as it is made. Some other reviewers have mentioned that the handle does not fit well. The ears on this portafilter are not as thick as those on the one that is supplied with the Stilosa, so it has to be turned past center in order to fit tightly, but it does fit and work well when one does so. I hope some readers find this review helpful.

I really wanted this to work, but it failed on my delonghi stilosa machine. Pros, The look, the weight and ease of cleaning was there. It is easy to use. Cons, the size was there but the sides were a mm too short and it would just cause the water to spray everywhere as it would not seal properly. I hate that it didn't work, because the built is great. I have to give it one star unfortunately as it was advertise to fit on this machine

This 51mm bottomless portafilter was a perfect fit for my De'Longhi La Specialista Touch (EC9455.M). I had no leakage or channeling during the extraction process, so what more could I ask for? The portafilter feels solidly constructed; consisting of stainless steel and a walnut handle. There is definitely plenty of value for the low cost of this portafilter, and the visual confirmation of proper puck prep is great to see in action. There is one thing to note about the volume of the filter basket: the OEM filter basket of my EC9455.M has a slightly larger volume than the filter basket included with this bottomless portafilter, so I had to minimally adjust the coffee grinder's timing accordingly.

This is a quality piece. Precise metal work, wood, and shiny chrome with no blemishes. The filter basket is about 17-19 gram and is well made. It has a smooth wall with no retainer indent. The filter holes are clean and uniform. When properly loaded, it makes a good tasting espresso with nice crema. The metal tip at the end is probably a touch too much, but doesn't hurt. It fits my ECP3420 well and stops right at 6 o'clock after tightening. I saw the reviews reporting a cracked wooden handle and I waterproofed mine with several coats of tung oil. This should protect the handle from water damage.

Works great with my Delonghi Dedica Maestro Plus EC-950m. Thight fit. With a good grinder I get much better shots. Very happy

Nice

Porte filtre bottom less très bien fini en 51mm et compatible sur Delonghi EC 9355.

Tutto secondo le mie aspettative, solido e perfettamente funzionante.

Very stylish and well made. Love the look.

First, I am using this pf on a Delonghi Stilosa (EC260) - my overall experience of it is that it is excellent, and provides great and consistent espresso shots. I had one issue when first using it: the puck was only half extracted, some sharp spills and ages to get the coffee out. I then realised that my shower screen was too tight from the last clean, forcing water only on half of the puck. My guess is that the original pressurised basket is a lot more forgiving of this kind of issues, because you have to grind very coarse to get a shot in a decent time - this means that imbalance in the water pressure does not matter much as most of the resistance comes from the bottom of the puck / basket, not the top of the puck. After unscrewing the shower screen a little bit, and making sure the water flowed evenly, the pf worked perfectly well. I suspect, overloading the puck with too much coffee, or a dirty puck screen could create similar issues . Just to be clear: this issue will be the same for ANY bottomless pf vs a pressurised basket and has more to do with the poor design of the Stilosa. I 100% recommend this pf - it feels excellent quality and provides a significant upgrade over the Delonghi pressured basket, only caveat is that you have to be a lot more cautious about how you tinker with your Stilosa, especially after a clean.
