CAPFEI 51mm Bottomless Portafilter Compatible with CASABREWS CM5418, 3700Essential, Mr. Coffee Espresso and Cappuccino Machine, Wirsh, Gevi Espresso | 51mm portafilter 3 ears with Prongs Thickness 4mm

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.

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.

This portafilter fits my Gevi model ECMGO Espresso machine perfectly. The taste difference between the pressurized basket that came with the original machine and this bottomless portafilter is amazing. All my espresso shots using the pressurized basket were watered down and sour and now I am pulling great shots with this filter and basket. I have my machine dialed in using this basket holding 16 grams of beans which is producing perfect pucks. Highly recommended.

So far, I’m dialing in the shot, grinding with 63burr manual set at 9 dark roast coffee, distributing the grinds, tamping, stopwatch finishes at around 28-32 seconds, with an extraction of 33grams of liquid from 16.5grams of coffee. Portafilter is fantastic and it is solidly built for my budget 20bar machine $80. Solid, solid. First attempt at 15grams of coffee squirted quit a bit, second attempt at 16.5grams minimized the squirting noticeably, video is from second attempt. Again, I’m dialing in the shot. Great portafilter purchase indeed. CAPFEI should send me a second one :).

Like everyone else mentioned, the handle does unscrew itself with use, and it fell off when I was loading the machine and the coffee flew out of the portafilter basket and all over the kitchen. Just make sure that bad boy is on tight every time and you're gold - this thing makes awesome espresso, it's worth it.

I have been using it for about 4 days now. The coffee starts to be extracted well until out of nowhere it start to shot coffe al over the place. Like a shower head when is clogged and streams of water shoot on an angle instead of straight. Every time a make espresso, I have to put a towel in front to prevent me getting coffe over me, and I still have to clean the machine afterwards because it gets coffee on it. Either I got mine defective or the entire product isn't well made.

Fits the Shardor Espresso machine perfect and works great, I’ve an IMS Convex basket fits perfect works looks great

Feels very well made. Fit my Thyme and Table espresso machine perfectly and is a great replacement for the standard pressurized basket that it came with.

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.

Funcionó para una Krups Divine perfecto

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

Portafiltro muy adecuado para hacer upgrade de uno presurizado. Probablemente si estás comprando/viendo estos portafiltros entonces ya seas, por lo menos, nivel intermedio en el café/espresso. Sin embargo no está de más decir que si comprarás este para reemplazar un portafiltro presurizado, será una buena elección pero teniendo en cuenta que tendrás que moler considerablemente más fino tu grano. En general se siente muy durable, y aunque la canasta no sea VST o IMS, realmente también puedes hacer un upgrade a una de ellas, aunque es más común que sean 58 mm, en lugar de 51 mm como es este portafiltro.
