Solid build of portafilter and basket! Fits Hafele U-Kafee perfectly.

Pros: Nice Build quality. Fits properly at Wonderchef 19 Bar Espresso machine. Cons: Little expensive

It fits my Mattinata like a glove! No leaks or spurts... finally! Quick backstory: I was gifted an espresso maker by the brand Mattinata, which is nearly a copy of the CasaBrews machine. I got a fancy Normcore basket, but it didn’t fit the portafilter that came with my machine. So began my journey to find a portafilter that actually fit both the basket and my machine—not an easy task. Overview: I noticed a significant difference in the sheen of my Normcore basket compared to the metal of the portafilter from my original machine. This portafilter, however, matches the same level of sheen and quality. It was the cheapest 51mm 3-prong portafilter I found that explicitly stated the prong thickness. While my priority was functionality, I was thrilled that it also looks great, especially for the price. It fits snugly. I have to use a little extra muscle compared to the old one, but it doesn’t feel overly tight. Instead, it gives the sense of a better seal. - Overall: If you need a bottomless portafilter for your 51mm budget-friendly espresso maker, this is the one you’re looking for. - CAPFEI, if you’re reading this... Please make this same style portafilter in a version that can lay flat. My only minor gripe is that it wobbles unless I’m holding it while filling or placing a rag underneath.

Really nice quality. fits well and is really easy to clean. the basket isn't too bad for a generic stock basket - get's decent espresso done. the handle has a weight to it and feels really sturdy.

The 51mm 3ear fits my spacekey espresso maker perfect. There are 2 things to help avoid problems that took a little while to work out, mostly not caused by this basket, but that the basket brought out in other tools I was using. 1. Use a 51mm paper at the bottom, this absorbs the cafestrol and also stops the shooting sideways streams when overtamped or too much pressure. A puck screen on top seemed to make it shoot out too fast. 2. My cuisinart grinder has 18 fine-ness settings, even the finest was not fine enough. Different doses/grinds/tamping/grind distribution tools did not seem to help. If you make espresso from an inexpensive espresso machine like myself, (and it seems to always come out super watery with this basket), then try getting the espresso powder from a budget german grocery chain that comes in a vacuum sealed cube pre-ground. That stuff is even finer than my grinder, and once I tried with that I got the correct crema and pressure from my machine. Now I just need to get a better grinder or find decaf peurto-rican coffee. The hint this was the case is all my beans made great pour over, so I didn't think it was them, and the pressurized basket that came with my machine seemed to make ok espresso if super packed in there, and a large number of attempts at diffent coffee masses/grind size did not help get any crema. See attached comparison, it should be super super fine. Both powders work with pressurized portafilter that originally came with my machine, but the super super fine one works best with this one. The puck also comes out way better than the pressurized basket making it easy to clean. The box art had a 2-ear printed on the front, but the inside matched perfectly to what I ordered.
