51mm Bottomless Portafilter 3 ears Only for Delonghi Dedica EC680/EC685

it's much better than stock. allows for for clear view of the output to make better adjustments. only downside is that it doesnt sit flat on a counter since handle is not straight compared to basket

Accurate machining, 3-leaf portafilter with prongs, measuring 5.5mm at the thick end and 4.0mm at the tapered end. Fits my Coffee Gator Espresso machine. Plastic handle feels light, and can be unscrewed from the metal basket holder. This portafilter has a standard basket retention spring, unlike some others in this size category. The included basket has a ring around the top inner circumference, rather than the smooth curved top surface you might see on other baskets, and the outer edge of the basket is a little rough. Also, there is an inner ridge near the bottom of the basket, which could potentially affect your flow. If these things are a concern for you (for example, if you use a self-leveling tamp), you may want to upgrade the basket. If you're an enthusiast, you probably already have a better basket in mind. Overall, fair quality naked portafilter. The free basket is nothing special.

I bought this once for my Delonghi Dedica EC 685, it works well. My espresso is now amazing. Just a little bit of advice from my side. After trying different ways to solve the sprouting issue. Nothing worked; later, I also experienced portafilter dropping after pressure build up. Then I tried to use espresso press filters, and it solved the issue. Now there is no sprouting and brewing is very consistent

Sturdy, stainless steel bottomless coffee filter that attaches well to the Delonghi 685 espresso machine. The strainers are solid enough and the holes are fine enough for long-term use making good expresso. I purchased mine with both the interchangeable 2-shot & 1-shot strainers available from the same seller. A bonus is that the one-shot strainer fits into the Delonghi coffee filter that came with the machine - no modification needed. One small negative is that there is no notch in the filter to facilitate removal of the strainers as there are on the OEM filter. Also be aware that the filter handle is black plastic - not wood. As the handle seems fairly heavy and well-made, that's not a negative for me. Had I wanted a more esthetic filter, I've have ordered one of the several more pricey brands. In the first couple of uses, the filter has produced rich tasting expresso. (And yes, the taste is fuller & richer than achieved with the pressurized strainer that comes with the Delonghi 685. There was no leaking from the edges of the filter or spraying from the base of the unit as some reviewers have noted with other brands of filter. Overall, this is a very satisfactory product and I'd recommend it.

It's a well made portafilter. Very good quality. But, unfortunately it isn't compatible with the Michelangelo espresso machine. ( The ears are just slightly bigger) So, have to keep looking.

I'm buying a portafilter that's solid metal instead. I had this one for three years - sometime in the last year, the middle ear bended upward and I didn't notice until it messed up the seal to the point of water spewing out during brewing. To my shock, the "metal" it was made of was a gritty looking material, and the ear broke off while I was trying to straighten it. It did work for a while and was inexpensive, but I wish I'd bought one that was made to last to begin with. Because I bought this cheap one, I've been without my home espresso for several days.

Works with a Brim 15 bar machine. I got a little spray on the first shot. So I adjusted my grind one click coarser and increased my dose by 1 gram. Seems to have done the trick. So far, I'm very happy with this purchase.

I have been very impressed with this cheap upgrade to my Dedica 680 espresso maker. You just simply use this handle and filter rather than the included Delonghi handle, and the fit and finish matches great. I found that I needed to grind my coffee finer and needed about 18g of espresso to properly fill the basket and get a longer extraction. While dialing it in, I had many fast shots (<7 seconds long) until I really started filling the basket and tamping it down VERY firmly, leaving around ⅛ to 3/16th of an inch (3-5mm) of headroom between the puck and the top of the portafilter. It feels pretty tight when putting the filled filter onto the machine to take a shot, but that's what you should expect! To avoid channelling and little jets of espresso while pulling the shot, I recommend using a WDT tool (or a paperclip, or anything thin and straight! Google it lol) to break up any clumps of espresso before you tamp the powder down into a puck

Llego bien, a tiempo, en buenas condiciones. Embona perfecto en mi cafetera (delonghi dedica ec685. El unico “pero” que le veo es que cuando esta saliendo el cafe, salen “chisguetes” a traves de algunos hoyitos del filtro que no caen en la taza y manchan la cafetera o el piso, probare moliendo menos fino el grano para ver si con eso ya no sucede.

Disappointed that this was supposed to match DeLonghi's portafiliters, but could not take any of the inserts from my current DeLonghi machine and has different internal dimensions

Makes great coffee

Product neither matching the photo nor is compatible with dedica machines. Worst experience so far and issued a return request. Dont buy from this buyee

This porta filter is super good. Fits realy well with delhongi ec685. I had tried 2 more portafilter earlier but both comes out when coffee dose is more than 15gm but it is able to handle it pretty well.
