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

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.

So it has an issue of spraying the espresso, though a quick fix was easily found. Makes an excellent latte.

I bought this to go with my De'Longhi Stilosa Manual Espresso Machine, Latte & Cappuccino Maker, 15 Bar Pump Pressure + Milk Frother Steam Wand, Black / Stainless, EC260BK, 13.5 x 8.07 x 11.22 inches which I also bought here on Amazon. This is my first foray into the world of espresso making and this is my first accessory. The ports filter that came with the machine is perfectly adequate. I read a review that this filter would level up our espresso game so I thought I’d give it a try. First cup using this portafilter has a more robust, richer, nuttier flavor with our standard coffee. I recommend this filter and can confirm that it fits the previously mentioned machine.

Works great

Feels great, the head loosens ever so often but not frequent (it's probably more of a me thing). Very solid, looks as good as it feels.

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

Buen ajuste y bonito

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.

Good quality and finish - nice and heavy, fits perfectly in my Delonghi. Works exactly as advertised.

Works great after 2 months

Have used this item for about a month now and can't fault it.

I have a Delonghi Stylosa, not that fancy, but it has get the job done. I wanted to improve my coffee by upgrading the dosifier, since the extraction of the default delonghi filter is ok for a 'Lungo ‘ but not enough for a real espresso. A word of warning, do not purchase this if you dont have a good grinder and good Fresh coffee available, just save your money for the grinder first. We use a Rancilio Rocky, and until today, we grinded the coffee in 15-16 setting, but for the bottomless filter, the sweet spot is between 10 and 11. You also might need a better tamper, but not mandatory. After a couple of failed shots (watery and awful flavor), we just adjusted the diameter of the grinder and the pressure of the tamper to get pure joy of perfect espresso, 16grs of creamy perfection in 25 seconds extraction, enjoy!!!
