51mm portafilter for Delonghi ECP3420/EC155/BCO430/EC260, 51mm bottomless portafilter 2 ears, Stainless Steel Replacement Parts for Delonghi Handle

I have a Deloghni ECP3630. I did not try the included basket instead I used a Hughs basket purchased separately on Amazon. I ground the coffee with my Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder.This portafilter fit the machine perfectly and produced excellent shots. I’m delighted with this purchase. It was a great price.

I was actually kind of surprised when this showed up. My expectations were pretty low for some reason. But when it came I found it to be of really high quality. It looks and feels good, it almost is nicer than the espresso machine. I did have some concern that the machine wouldn't be able to handle it as the manufacturer actually states that my Delonghi Stilosa doesn't have the ability to manage pressure without the provided pressurized basket. But this works great, over and over again. It really made dialing in a lot easier. It is much nicer than the provided portafilter and fits perfectly. Do yourself a favor and order this, get rid of the pressurized basket. I don't have any issue with leaking, and the basket fits snugly into the machine. Fantastic portafilter.

Does not work on ec702 - it does not seal and water comes out all around the basket and portafilter. I've tried different baskets including the one that I use for my original portafilter.

This worked just fine at first, but recently just started leaking, spraying coffee everywhere. I tried lots of corrective measures, but nothing worked. I was about to return it, but decided to try one more time and tighten the portafilter as tight as possible. It is not enough to tighten it to the 4 O'clock position. You must feel/hear the portafilter's ears hitting metal and not being able to move any further. It then worked perfectly. No leaks and a nice single stream of coffee coming out. For me, if I stop short even 1/8th of an inch from the maximum amount of tightening, it will leak.

This portafilter fits my Delonghi EC260 perfectly. Paired with the Agatige Stainless Steel Pressurized filter basket it makes an excellent two shot Espresso - much better than the non-pressurized filter that came with it, and the too small two shot filter and portafilter that came with the Delonghi. It seems to be well made and the filter basket is held quite snugly via some spring loaded wires, so it is easy to knock the puck out. I recommend it highly especially if paired with the Agatige Pressurized filter. Beware of standard pressurized filters, the espresso comes out of the small hole in the bottom at high pressure and velocity, and needs portafilter with a bottom contain that stream.

Great quality for the price. I am an espresso beginner and never failed with this portafilter. I did research how to dial (ground size&amount, tamping, helpful equipments, etc) and follow the steps🙂I am using a filer screen which I think may prevent spraying. 😅

UPDATE:The biggest issue is the basket that comes with this product. I got a different basket and the experience was much closer to what I was expecting. Still only three stars as they could have supplied a better basket.I’ve tried a few times and have done everything correctly as far as I can tell but the product doesn’t appear to fit the machine correctly leading to leakage out of the side of the basket and sprays of coffee shooting down into the cup. This is much worse than the pressurized version that comes with the machine. The product is basically unusable for this machine.

Perfect fit and super fast shipping!
