NEOUZA 51mm 2 Eears Espresso Bottomless Portafilter for Delonghi Stilosa Icona ECP31.21 ECP33.21 ECP35.31 ECP36.31, 304 Stainless Steel with Non-Pressurized Basket

This is a quality one piece “bottomless style” portafilter with a very beautiful exotic hardwood handle that helps one to make good espresso using the De Longi Stelosa with doses of 17- 20g of coffee, depending upon bean density/roast level. It fits perfectly into the group-head with zero water escaping from the sides, but, of course, it must be solidly twisted into place at a standard 90 degree angle to the machine (with the handle pointed directly at the user) or water will escape, as those who have not fully seated the portafilter have “unexplainably” (to them) discovered. It is a huge/ important upgrade that allows nice shots of quality espresso to be produced with the Stelosa (and don’t forget the must-do puck preinfusion), while mating it with the Amazon-sold $9. perfectly fitting, wood handled 51mm tamper.

This really helped my Delonghi Stilosa make great coffee! I had just bought a good tamper, stirrer and dosing funnel. I was able to pull a good shot on the 2nd try (no water channeling and spurting). The Puck screen I used probably helped and makes cleanup much easier. The flavor was so much better than the standard portafilter. This bottomless portafilter also holds more coffee than the standard version. This product is definitely well-made and it's super easy to clean. Highly recommended!

Solid and feels well made like it will last. Nice looking too. Does not quite fit properly in my DeLonghi EC 702, like that little tabs on the side aren't quite thick enough so you have to be careful to put it in right. The crimp on the edge of the portafilter is overbent so it tends to have difficulty sealing with occasional high pressure spray from the seal even if you crank it hard. The flange should go upward as it goes out from center and this one goes downward meaning there is a knife edge seal on the inside when you tighten it in. Overall works good and I'll still use it but not 100% happy.

I have not found one single con yet with this portafilter. Every aspect of my espresso was improved. It took me about 5-6 shots to really dial in the grind but once you get there it's amazing.

Leaked, returned.

Doesn’t work with De Longhi ECP3630 as stated. leaks when you use it but great quality build and look if it fits your model

It feels nice and sturdy, not flimsy at all but it just doesn't brew well for me

Product made is heavy and sturdy but price is way too much.
