51mm Bottomless Portafilter for DeLonghi ECP/BCO/EC Series (2 Ears), 304 Stainless Steel Naked Handle with Double Shot Basket for Channeling Diagnosis & Crema Upgrade

This has been a game changer for my home espresso!

It doesn't fit my Delonghi Stilosa EC230.BK machine. Coffee spilled from the side. Not good.

If you’re upgrading a Delonghi machine, this is a great add-on. The fit was spot on for my machine and locked in securely with no wobble. Build quality feels solid and the bottomless design really helps dial in shots and see what’s actually going on with your extraction. It feels like a legit upgrade rather than a gimmick. For the money, this is excellent value compared to much more expensive portafilters. Totally worth it if you’re into espresso even a little.

Pretty solid portafilter. I read in previous comments that the brand name was placed very conspicuously on the handle, but it seems they took heed and decided to put the brand much smaller on the neck above the handle, so good on them for taking feedback into account. I've been using it for about 8 months and it's been working well for the most part. It works well with the basket it comes with but when I switched to an IMS basket, it can get stuck in the group head (DeLonghi ECP) when you take the portafilter off, which is just a minor inconvenience. Overall a good value when used in its entirety!

Excellent portafilter. Fits my Delonghi machine perfectly. Any bad reviews for this product are either user error from people having no idea how to use a bottomless portafilter or they ordered the wrong one. I also have to wonder if those saying there are no quality improvements to the coffee taste have a clue what they're doing either. You don't just swap this in and go for it. You need to grind much finer make sure it's perfectly distributed, and make sure your extraction times are where they should be. If you're just using the same coarse grind and letting it shoot through this new portafilter in seconds with no crema no flavor and no extraction then you have no idea what you're doing and need to do some research. This is an excellent upgrade for espresso brewing and the resulting shot has much better flavor than the stock portafilter. There were no leaks and the portafilter is very well made and feels very durable. I've had a bottomless filter on my other machine for awhile and finally got one for this machine. I'll never go back to a stock pressurized filter

Update: I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now. Although the coffee comes out good, it is a bit messy. Coffee comes out in unpredictable streams, and when it’s done brewing, it drips a lot. Also, water/coffee sits on top of the grounds, so it drips and spills when taking the portafilter out. I spend more time wiping up than brewing coffee. I’m considering going back to using the portafilter my DeLonghi came with. Update: I received a replacement, and this time it was the right Portafilter - 2 ears, 51mm, fits my DeLonghi. What’s most striking is the smooth finish on the handle. It feels well sanded to a satin feel without feeling plasticky. The whole Portafilter is solid and heavy. Its simplicity is refreshing - no need to take apart baskets and gaskets, just unscrew the handle and you can throw the metal part in the dishwasher. Original review: The listing is for 51mm 2 ear bottomless Portafilter compatible with DeLonghi machines. The Amazon sticker on the box says 51mm…However the actual item is 54mm 3 ear bottomless Portafilter. It’s very nice heavy quality with comfortable handle. It seems like one piece so you don’t have to take it apart to clean it, which is convenient. The handle was barely screwed on when I first took it all out of the package. It’s nice to know you can wash it without the handle. I requested a replacement but I’m worried I might end up with the same wrong item if the FBA stock is all mislabeled.

The worst product ever. No matter how much coffee or pressure I put, is always a mess. It spills coffee all over the place.

The portafilter seems to be used. The handle has dents and scratches.
