Premium 54mm Naked Bottomless Portafilter Compatible with Breville Barista BES 870 878 880 Replacement Breville Bottomless Portafilter Not

I purchased this bottomless portafilter to use with my Breville Bambino. I’ve been pulling double shots and wanted to be able to actually see the pulls. This bottomless portafilter makes it so easy to do so! This portafilter feels heavy and high quality. Without a basket inside, it’s super easy to lock into the machine. I use the double shot basket that the Breville Bambino comes with, and I do notice that with the basket inside, it becomes significantly harder to lock the portafilter into the machine. It definitely does lock, just not all the way and with the same ease it does without the basket. Other than that small nit, this portafilter works well with the Breville Bambino. This portafilter has also been a huge time saver in terms of cleaning. I simply dump out my puck, give the basket and portafilter a quick rinse, then towel dry before locking it into the machine. One thing to note, though, is that when you first receive the item, it may not be screwed together all the way. Upon first opening it, the handle and head were screwed loose, and I was able to completely unscrew it while trying to lock it into my machine. This is super easy to fix, though, as you can just tightly screw the pieces back together by hand. Overall would recommend, especially as a Breville Bambino user if you don’t mind the locking issue. Maybe purchase a different basket to remedy this! Read more

I use the basket that came with my Breville machine. I decided to get this to see if there was channeling anywhere. It is messy; spray gets all over the back wall of the espresso machine. It's not an issue when we use a taller cup to catch the espresso shots. Once we popped the basket in the naked portafilter, it fit snuggly like the og (original) Breville portafilter. Nothing spilled over during brewing. We like the quality of the handle a lot. It comes apart, so we don't have to get that handle wet all the time after cleaning it. Taste-wise, we pulled a less hollow shot vs if we used the og portafilter. Bambino doesn't like it when we grind too fine on the baratza so we kept the grind setting the same. The shot with our medium roasted beans was tangy (not like lemon tangy) and a little sweet. Glad we upgraded to this portafilter and tasted the difference. Read more

Fits my Breville esspreso machine w/54mm baskets beautifully. A decorative metal collar near the wood handle arrived lopsided; it took some hand tools and convincing to straighten out. Not bad for a budget product, but may need a bit of work. I appreciate that the lack of a spout means the coffee does not come into contact with this product, just in case something in the metal can leech out. The original Breville handle appears to have plastic inside the spout. Read more

This thing is pretty awesome compared to my stock Breville portafilter. I was going to hold out on the naked filter, but went ahead and got a new one anyway. It's true what they say. It does look much better pulling shots with a naked pf vs the stock pf. As long as your tamp is good and your espresso is compressed, it should be easy to pull good shots with this. I also bought the IMS 18-22g bucket to compliment and they are a great pair. The only con is the handle can loosen pretty easily. It's solid and worth it, but I'm considering some thread locker. It may even be a normal occurrence for similar portafilter, but idk yet. Also I gave it 5 stars on flavor, but I'm gonna be honest. I didn't taste it. It didn't seem relevant to the review.

High quality item. You will feel the weight. It fits perfectly to Breville Barista Pro Read more

Purchased for roughly 3 year year-old barista pro. Not sure why I waited so long to purchase. As another reviewer mentioned, does get a little messy with skinnier espresso glass’s. Need to raise glass up a little bit to minimize spillage. Happy with the shot it pulls and a look. Read more

Great buy — to replace the stock portafilter that came with my Impress. The handle came undone, this bottomless version is particularly nice because the handle part, screws to the other piece versus being glued together which explains why I even need to be replacing a part. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Enjoy your bev. Read more

Works fantastic and has a nice aesthetic to it. Unfortunately, the timing and fit wasn’t to my liking. Timing wise, I’m still a noob so my lack of addressing channeling causes quite a mess with splashing all over the place. This is not the fault of the product at all as the product does serve its purpose in showing me just how bad it was. Securing the basket to my machine had a super tight fit and I felt it might have caused premature wear over time. That said, there is no proof I have that it would happen since I ended up returning. 5 stars though because it was a decent value. Read more
