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 Read more

Excellent quality but does NOT fit LERTIN 61oz 51mm machine...the 3 tabs are just different sizes. Excellent quality (though I was surprised the filter came out vs/ being part of the assembly) and handsome in person and would have been a keeper. Read more

I'm moving from the stock delonghi 51mm pressurised portafilter on la specialista arte machine. The new portafilter feels well made. It fits my machine fairly well but not quite as tight as my old one although this doesn't affect the operation. The puck screen it came with is flimsy and I actually bent it trying to get it out of the packet so I would buy a better one if you use want to use one. I'm not an expert but so far the coffee tastes pretty good. I had to change my grind setting right down to the lowest as the coffee seems to come out quite quick still but overall I'm happy with this so far. Read more

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.
