The quality of this company has improved

Esa es toda la queja, estaba usado, se notaban varios rayones de uso, no lo devolví porque el precio me pareció justo, por la calidad y me da flojera pedir otro y tener que esperar semanas.

It would have been a nice portafilter but unfortunately, it does not fit my VBM machine even tho it is explicitly said it does… The VBM portafilter ears are thinned down from the factory, before they are plated. It may not be the case on recent VBM machines but it is unusable on mine unless I modify it myself, which will expose the base material. Overall good quality but if you explicitly say it works for a specific machine or brand, it should have been checked thoroughly… Check if the ears on your current portafilter look like in the picture attached before buying.

Its been a full year of use and I am very halo y with my putchase. Good quality. Very durable.

I bought this for my Breville Barsita express. The main reason is I wanted a bottomless Portafilter. I was intending to use just the Portafilter with a Pesado EP 54mm 18g basket combo. The Portafilter looks great, sleek, and the price was great at $36. Before my Pesado EP basket arrived I thought let me try the Ikape precision basket that comes with it. It really made the extraction better, at 18 gram espresso grind#3 on my machine my extraction time was reduced from 33 seconds to 25, no channeling, beautiful crema, puck comes out super dry, and no watery coffee in my last 5 seconds of extraction from my stock Breville basket. When I got the Pesado basket I actually thought the Ikape basket worked for me better and dialed in great. So I’m thinking I’ll keep using the Ikape precision basket over the EP Pesado. The portafilter fit tight a touch then got better, but it fit all baskets if you like to change the basket out. All together the value is great, easy to clean no problem just don’t let the grounds it in the basket and dry out.

I’m really impressed with this portafilter. The build quality is solid, and the open-work head with rounded arc cut-outs gives me exactly the visibility I wanted. I can clearly see the espresso flow while pulling a shot, which makes catching channeling or flow issues immediate and intuitive. It fits and seals perfectly on my machine (I’m running a Slayer), and I’ve had no leaks whatsoever. The included High-Extraction Precision basket does a great job! the flow is even, the shot’s body feels balanced, and cleanup is easy thanks to stainless-steel construction. Functionally, this portafilter hits all the marks! I’d definitely call it good value for the money. The only feature I wish it had is removable handle option so I could swap in a custom handle if desired. Overall: If you want a bottomless portafilter for dial-in, consistent shots, and easy visibility. This one’s a winner.
