Stainless Steel Coffee Filter, 51mm Double Layer Pressurized Filter Basket Espresso Filter Basket Espresso Machine Parts for Portafilter Coffee Machine(Double Cup)

I got this as a second 2 shot filter for my ilavie generic espresso maker. The construction is for standard espresso makers with the closed bottom if you require a 51mm filter. Construction looks well made slightly better machined and polished then the one that came with my machine. I have a few filters and this one has a single hole on the bottom, exactly like the 20bar espresso maker came with. My 15 bar machine has a filter with maybe 1/4” round area with multiple holes maybe because of the lower pressure. Both seem to work well in the 20bar machine. So for now 5 stars as its perfect for my machine, fits easy in the handle and pops off easily not tight or too loose its perfect at 51mm. I measured how many grams i was able to pack in giving it just enough room at the top to screw it on, so the max was 13grams of coffee packed down with my damper.

Much better than the original piece that came with our espresso maker

Works well, hopefully it will last longer than my previous filter

Good valueFits my filter holder nicely

Works great with Gevi products.

This is dangerous.There is not even one hole in the bottom = this could kill someone by having the machine explode.Major pressure build up with back flow into the machine = high risk of explosion.Additionally, this had a bump on the sides of the cup, which does not fit the universal bottomless portafilter handle.This could easily cause the espresso machine to explode / blow up like a bomb, as there are no holes (not even one hole) for the pressure and liquid to get through, so pressure backs up and keeps building pressure in your espresso machine.

Fits great, makes great espresso. No weird smells. 5/5

Exellent
