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

Fit me Delonghi Stilosa perfectly. I was originally planning to upgrade to an IMS basket but the one that came with the portafilter was surprisingly good quality. Is it as good as an IMS? Probably not, but the holes are even and clean cut and it makes great espresso.

This bottomless portafilter fits and works perfectly with my DeLonghi Stilosa. Coffee comes out smoothly without any channeling or straying. I do follow the directions and make sure to fully tighten things and use a good grinder the grinds finely enough for espresso. The design looks nice and fits well with the machine. Finally, the fact that it’s bottomless makes it easy to clean. Overall, this is a helpful tool.

I have the De’longhi Stilosa model EC260bk and I was originally looking for a new pressurized portafilter to have an extra, when I discovered others using this bottomless non pressurized portafilter! I am new to espresso making, and did some good research. I agree with some other reviews about leaking and spraying. As you can see from my photo of both portafilters lined up together, they are both 51mm on the inner size for the basket cups, but original is slightly larger around the rim. This causes some issues when locking the new portafilter into the machine. I messed around a little and saw that if I turn the bottomless a little further around than the original, it can work. The original being about 6oclock as the locking point, the bottomless had to be turned to around 4/5oclock position. That being said, the shot I pulled from it was not creamy or good in quality, so once again I messed around with suggestions over the internet and saw that most people say when using a pressurized espresso machine, a non pressurized portafilter needs more fine coffee grinding. Keep in mind, you technically aren’t even supposed to use a nonpressurized portafilter for the machine, so this is truly against the manufacturing! I grinded much finer and saw better results, but the original had same creamy amount as bottomless. I will keep working on it to see if I can get it any better, but that is my experience. If you have the time and patience and want to see how it goes, many seem to say here that they have had awesome results! But if you aren’t really that interested in the extra effort I recommend getting a replacement part like your original one. Good luck, and enjoy your coffee!PS, the stilosa is also amazing. Even without that new portafilter, I’ve had some epic coffee since purchasing! I also decided to upgrade my milk steamer by taking the silver piece that goes on it off, and then using something to tie around the black nozzle to keep it on, then steaming with just that! Gives a much less foamy milk, there are a couple youtube videos about how to do this! Takes getting the right technique, but super good!UPDATE:I believe I still see this item as good, although I haven’t been able to really make it the best it can be. As I mentioned my machine was made for a pressurized basket, not a bottomless. It has been a lot of extra effort to pull good shots from it, I needed a good tamper, distributor, and thankfully I had a grinder because it requires MUCH finer grounds. I also got a screen for the filter, and it doesn’t do terrible! The shots are still strong flavor but not much in creaminess. I only use it when I have the time and patience, so I will leave it with the same good review, because it is a good product. Just not the best for my machine. Some I see have found a way to work it and make it great but I think if you arent able to do the work I said, stick with the OEM.

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.

Fantastic addition to my DeLonghi ECP3630. Fits IMS Huge basket perfectly and pulls delicious sweet shots while allowing me to visually dial in and enjoy the sight my my forthcoming treat. Fits PERFECT, well built, and appreciate the stainless steel construction and weight of it compared to the plastic stock handle. Handles 18g doses with a puck screen like a champ.

This is a must. Get rid of those factory filters!

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.

All good!
