“My stock plastic Gaggia handle was cracking and I had tried a bottomless portafilter but it was too messy of a process. I ordered this portafilter and it mated perfectly to the handle that was on the bottomless one. A happy coffee maker I am.”
“Fits my 25 year old + Gaggia Espresso perfectly. Because of the downward bend of the neck and the single port on the bottom, it's a trifle less stable than the OEM portafilter but it feels like a sturdier piece of casting and the round handle I purchased to go with the portafilter should also be sturdier than the OEM box shape.”
“I bought this to replace my gaggia classic portafilter with. The handle broke on the factory one and I decided to upgrade with an aftermarket one that would easily take a wooden handle. The 10 mm wood handle that espresso parts sells looks great on this portafilter.”
