OEM Gaggia Bottomless Portafilter 58mm - Authentic Italian Portafilter with 3 Cup Filter Basket for Gaggia Classic Pro + Gladwise Coffee Card

Very good, nothing to report that is out of the ordinary. Seems to be holding up, no loose elements or things falling apart after about 1 year of use

In the description this says it's not for newer Gaggia models. However I have a new Classic Pro and it fits just fine and brews as expected.The build quality is great and its spring holds your bowl very well. It makes a great espresso, but I would say that is likely the espresso machine as well. All in all this is a wonderful purchase and I am very happy to have bought this for my Classic Pro.

Just ordered this for my Gaggia Classic Evo Pro. This does fit despite it saying it's only for older models. Easy to use and clean. Even has the Gaggia logo on it. Mine came with a few dents along the rim on the bottom, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, but otherwise a nice upgrade from the original portafilter.

Vital for the new barista OR Instagram shot-puller. In order to dial-in your puck prep and ensure you are distributing and tamping correctly, a bottomless portafilter is an essential tool. It was with this tool that I was able to verify that I was not coming anywhere close to even grounds distribution. I was then able to fix my WDT tool and tamping methods until I had consistent and even flow/rate. At that point you can begin really experimenting with pull times and grind setting.

Looked great, seemed to fit properly, every usage resulted in basically free-flowing water thru the coffee, making a huge mess and resulting in unusable coffee. My other baskets with identical coffee grind size etc do not do this, so something is very off with this product in particular

The product works great. The basket is big enough for higher quantities of coffee. And the handle end cap is even branded with the “G” Gaggia logo! And it looks exactly like the stock portafilter. Remember that if you get squirting to the sides on your shot it isn’t caused by this product. It’s just a result of unevenly ground coffee, uneven tamping, or bad “puck prep.” If you get too much channeling just look up some YouTube videos on using a bottomless portafilter for some help. Also the people at DQW LLC are very responsive if you have any questions. They are also based here in the US.

I wanted to see what the talk was about using a bottomless portafilter with my Gaggia classic pro. I was satisfied with the standard one that came with it. So I got this and hoped it was as well made as the original. It certainly is. I don't know if it's made by Gaggia but it's at least as good. The bottomless procedure takes some getting used to and actually I think both are equally good and I use them both. It comes with a 3 shot deeper filter basket which I was thinking of buying separately. But be aware of one important thing: I thought I could use this deeper basket with the original standard Gaggia portafilter. You can't. It's just a tiny bit too deep and bottoms out in that portafilter, standing a slight bit high at the rim such that you can not get the unit into the brew head. Of course, it works fine with the bottomless one-since there's no bottom!

It doesn’t fit well with other baskets. I wouldn’t recommend
