The is the new design factory cut, Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) bottomless portafilter. These will fit any model of Rancilio (yes, the Silvia too), and any size Rancilio basket or other baskets that accept tamper bases of 58 mm. Does not include a basket.
I got this portafilter to replace another bottomless filter that a bought a few years ago. The other one wasn't a Rancilio and the plastic handle had an endpiece that would keep separating when I was using it. This new one is great! It is a one-piece handle that is sturdy and durable. A quick shout out too to Coffee Addicts and their personalized service in filling orders...hand written notes, and little treats that come in every written order do remind me that I'm buying from a company that believes in their products and makes an effort to create a human connection with every customer.
same quality as the stock spouted portafilter
Very nice finish - better than the one that came with my Silvia v2, which had some gouges that had been only partially polished out. I am not sure yet whether I like the downward sloping handle, but I expect that I will become accustomed to it.
Fits my Rancilio Silvia v3 well, sturdy build and has been a joy to use vs. the traditional double spout portafilter - recommend to those looking to dial in their espresso process.
