Revainrating 5 out of 5

DeLonghi portafilters are not suitable.

First of all I really like this car. The controls are simple and mostly intuitive. It comes with the bare minimum of accessories you need to get started. Improvements I opted for: 1) Leaky basket. 2) Baseless portafilter. 3) Calibrated rammer. 4) coffee dispenser. 5) dosing funnel. 6) shock box. 7) Jug for frothing. While not required, I believe they only improve the experience in terms of consistency and cleanup. As long as you're using a standard sealed basket, you don't really need a spreader and tamper. The first bottomless portafilter I bought was apparently designed for a DeLonghi and didn't fit (the lugs are too thick and wide). I found one that looks like it will fit but hasn't arrived yet. I'll link them below along with the other parts I've chosen for this work. If the linked portafilter doesn't work, I'll update my review in a few days. Conclusion This machine has met my expectations so far and I am happy with it. I personally like the buttons and overall design better than the competing Delonghi I reviewed. If you want a fancy portafilter and have some DIY dexterity, I suggest someone who knows how to use a Dremel and a sanding/cutting wheel can adjust the Delonghi's mounting ears. Although I don't recommend it if you don't have experience.
