Bottomless Naked Portafilter for GAGGIA 53mm Espresso Machines, 14g Basket - - V2 - by EDESIA ESPRESS

Very sturdy and fits perfectly to a Gaggia Carezza Deluxe. Have used this for over a year with no issues. Bizarrely, the basket is not magnetic, but this doesn't pose a major issue even if you use a dosing funnel. Just worth knowing.

Very tight fitting and pops out of the holder. So I have to hold it in place when making an espresso. You're probably better off just getting the basket and using the standard portafilter.

Probably wouldn't have bought a gaggia if this wasn't available. It can fit 15-16g of coffee if you want to cram it in. A 53.3mm filter screen fits nicely.

This is a well made and pleasant looking portafilter. Unfortunately it is not fully compatible with my Gaggia Espresso Style machine. It does lock in place correctly, but it does not form a good seal and water leaks when pulling a shot. I've persevered without success and have now reverted to the stock portafilter where I have no problems.

Gone back to using the stock portafilter. Got great results with the original portafilter but this one just spurts coffee everywhere no matter what pressure it's run at and even with a brew group screen on top. The fit is good so that's not an issue. The design is such that it doesn't sit flat and coffee tracks down the handle before dripping everywhere. Well made but per function. Avoid.

Basket overlaps the edge so it just over flows and makes a mess.

I thought I was doing everything right, I replaced the standard spring in the machine to lower the pressure, I followed the great video from Tom's Coffee Corner that recommends and demonstrates this product. I had a day or two of great espresso and then out of nowhere the gasket popped and the portafilter came loose. It hasn't been the same since. Squirting, spraying, leaking over the edges, coming loose, you name it. I've wasted so many decent beans. It's such a shame as it's beautiful, but the poor seal is going to damage the gasket on the machine, if it hasn't already. Switching back to the stock portafilter and hoping for the best. In hindsight I regret buying this Gaggia model. I guess this is why good espresso machines cost a lot, time to start saving!

Looks well made. Feels good.. but can't get a great extraction as when the coffee is ground fine enough to aim for a 30 second Ish shot the portafilter can't handle it and starts leaking water.. .or worse still pops out of the machine creating a complete mess. Il

Excellent porta filter. It fit perfect on the Gran Gaggia. I have a great grinder and good quality beans so everything worked as expected. A bit pricey but so far all expectations met

Perfetto per gaggia carezza deluxe.

Débutant dans le monde des machines à espresso, nous avons fait le choix de ne prendre "que" une Gaggia Carezza Deluxe, avec son porte-filtre pressurisé et sa pression de 15 bars, avant d'évoluer vers une véritable machine à espresso dans l'avenir. La Carezza marche plutôt bien pour les double-shots, mais beaucoup moins pour un espresso simple. Et il faut faire une croix sur les ristrettos. Curieux, je voulais quand même expérimenter avec un porte-filtre non pressurisé et sans fond. Tout en sachant -- et comme signalé par la description -- qu'utiliser ce type de porte-filtre ne serait pas évident. Et... effectivement, ce n'est pas évident. Côté positif: le porte-filtre loge parfaitement dans la machine. Le manque de ressort (comme sur le porte-filtre pressurisé livré avec la machine) ne semble pas gêner la performance. Le porte-filtre est livré avec un filtre de 14 gr. Le porte-filtre semble de bonne qualité, les filtres (j'ai pris un filtre de 7 gr en plus) aussi. Après, il y a tellement de factures à prendre en compte: la mouture, la fraîcheur du café, le dosage et le tassage... donc un certain temps de rodage est nécessaire. Et ce n'est pas une blague: si son tassage n'est pas correct, c'est le bordel, ça gicle partout... Mais de temps en temps j'arrive à bien faire, ce qui donne un espresso ... moyen ... du moins pour l'instant. Il va falloir expérimenter avec d'autres moutures de café. Je crois que le fait que la machine produit une pression de 15 bar (comme beaucoup des machines dans cette gamme, qui cherchent à être compatibles avec les dosettes) en non pas les 9 bar réglementaires la rend moins adaptée à ce genre de porte-filtre. On verra - je continue mes explorations. Mais encore, j'étais averti de ce fait par la description. Côté moins positif: le porte-filtre est livré avec un filtre de 14 gr. Mais j'en ai déjà de cette taille livré avec la machine et ce qui m'intéresse est surtout les espressos simples, voire serrés. Donc j'ai commandé un filtre de 7 gr pour 10 euros en plus. Ce qui fait assez cher l'ensemble. J'aurais préféré avoir le choix de filtre au moment de l'achat. C'est pour cette raison que j'enlève une étoile. Sinon, si vous avez une machine à espresso réglable à 9 bar et vous cherchez un porte-filtre sans fond, c'est un produit très correct. La livraison (d'Angleterre) était très rapide en plus.

Passt perfekt auf meine Gaggia Gran Gaggia. Wurde auch sehr schnell (innerhalb von 3 Werktagen) aus GB geliefert.

I imagine this product had a severe lack of testing and quality assurance. If not, i could not see this defect possible. The basket that comes with cannot be used, as it will cause terrible streams that go off course like in the image i shared. This happens so often that it would have been impossible to be missed during development/testing or QA The basket has holes that go up to the margin, which is actually good, because the more holes, the more surface => better extraction, i actually enjoy using it with the standard portafilter i had from my machine But pairing it with this portafilter was the worst decision ever, as the edge of the portafilter is way too close to the holes of the basket causing random contacts (especially at the handle) that turn into streams that shoot outside the desired area. Every 2-3 shots this issue will occur and make a terrible mess It has nothing to do with my actions/inputs, because using another basket with standard holes that do not go up to its edge, does NOT cause any issue, and works fine The instructions and etc that come with this porta filter makes them sound like they are so proud of this product. If so, then i will never buy a product from this manufacturer again
