Philips Saeco 53mm Non-Pressurized Portafilter for Saeco and Starbucks Espresso Machines

The product I received did not match the pictures. The handle is thinner and shorter. And while the portafilter fits in the Starbucks/Saeco machine, the OEM filter does not fit in the portafilter. Though it looks the same as the Seattle Coffee Gear version, it is not.

The product is not as pictured. The stock basket does not fit this handle. The most recent review of this product is the same as mine but the older reviews seem to be a better product and fit as expected. They must have moved to an inferior product without changing the images or specifications.

I had no idea that my refurbished Starbucks Barista espresso machine could use one of these! Makes great espresso; You definitely need a good flat tamp.

Very well-made. Very impressed by how well this works. Took some practice to get the right tamping pressure but the flavor is way better than the original portafilter that came with our machine. Great way to upgrade your saeco machine.

Fit with my Saeco Aroma. Nice built, durable and very easy to clean, plus sexy looking on the machine.

Takes a bit of experimenting to get the grind and amount of coffee right, but it does a good job as far as my non-coffee-snob taste buds tell me.
