This model is specifically sized at 51mm with a 2-ear configuration, which is designed for compatibility with many Delonghi machines. Please verify your machine's portafilter size and ear count before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
The handle is crafted from a durable combination of walnut wood and resin, designed to withstand the heat and moisture of a home espresso setup. To maintain its appearance, we recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth and avoiding prolonged submersion in water.
Yes, because the bottomless design leaves no room for error, it will highlight any unevenness in your puck preparation. You will likely find that you need to be more precise with your distribution and tamping to prevent spraying and ensure a clean, centered pour.
There is a slight adjustment period as you learn to read the extraction visually. You may experience some messy shots initially, but the immediate feedback is the most effective way to improve your barista skills and achieve café-quality espresso at home.
