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.

This product is not as advertised. Listing shows it to have two ears and when I asked if it would fit I was told as long as my original had two ears and was 51mm it would work. Well this has three ears and obviously does not work if I need one with two. Return already started and back on the hunt.

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

This does not fit the DeLonghi Stilosa EC260 machine. While you might be able to force it to fit, it seems like doing so could damage the machine. Trying to tighten it in place is very difficult and makes a grinding noise. The ears on the original pressurized based are tapered so that it slowly tightens down, the ears on this are thicker and solid without any taper, making it much tougher and riskier to tighten fully into place.Quality itself is very nice. Handle is beautiful and smooth, craftsmanship is great. Just doesn't fit as described.

I bought this based on a YouTuber review because it was compatible with my machine in the video. It does not fit well in the porta slot - very tight clearance, but I got it in with some muscle and then when I turned it on, it sprayed all over the place where it connects.
