I have ordered it for the La Nuova Era Cuadra.
It works perfectly with the stock double basket and came with a triple basket which I haven't tried yet.
It would be nice if it came with the blind disk for flushing but at this price point one can get is separately.
It's easy to clean. It allowed me to experiment and video the extractions to consult with my coffee making friends online as I've been learning new espresso blends.
It allows more crema texture through as opposed to the double portafilter.

I got this for my Vibiemme Junior and it does work, however you cannot dose anywhere over 17g because the spacing is different. The shower screen will hit the puck.

Fits Ascaso Steel Uno Professional PID perfectly!

This portafilter is a perfect fit for the Ascaso Steel Uno Professional PID – the “Professional” means “standard 58 mm E61-style group”, and accordingly, this fits perfectly.

— — Why go naked? Naked portafilters allow diagnosis of extraction problems, yield pretty extractions (“espresso porn”), and are *much* easier to keep clean (they also change the crema texture compared to a spout, which some prefer, some do not).

I got this for free with my new Silvia (Thank You 1st-Line) and my first try with it made me think WOW! this thing makes a great cup of Americano, then after learning it was a three cup and working with it I found it to be a fantastic training tool for tweaking grind and tamp. Its light weight but it is sturdy and will handle many a knock. Buy one and practice, practice practice, you will not be sorry!

Well-made bottomless portafilter

The fit and finish on this portafilter is excellent. It's better than what originally came with my 2001 Rancillio Silvia. Overall using this portafilter has truly helped my espresso making. I'm tamping harder than I was before and I'm also getting much more insistent on working only with fresh coffee. I highly recommend getting a bottomless portafilter if your looking to improve and this is an excellent choice.

Description:
Bottomless Portafilter for Faema, Rancilio Silvia, Wega, ECM, Isomac, Rocket Espresso (pre 2012 models), Vibiemme, and all Faema E61 Groupheads with all chrome plating and true 3 cup basket. Will also fit the Isomac with 58mm portafilter and Ascaso with 58mm portafilter. Please note that our portafilters are made naked first, then they are chrome plated for a full beautiful finish. We are not responsible if the manufacturer of your espresso machine has made a change to your espresso machine and the portafilter does not fit.
In addition, our bottomless portafilters have true size three cup filter baskets unlike any other.
NOTES:
1. Sorry, we can no longer include the end cap at the end of the handle.
2. Just because this item comes with a 3 cup basket does not mean you must pull 3 shots every time you use it. You may also pull a single or double shot for a more crema and a concentrated flavor profile, but you still MUST fill the basket as intended. Alternatively, you may use this handle with a 58mm one or two cup basket.
In many cases, when using this portafilter, customers have to coarsen the fineness of the grind when moving from a single or double dose portafiler or filter basket. The reason is that the bottomless/naked portafilter usually holds more coffee in the basket, and when leaving the same fineness of grind, the end result is no pour, a very slow pour, or leakage around the grouphead area. this is why we recommend changing the fineness of the grind to a little more coarse
