Review: Works well with Neouza 51mm portfilter - Using with my Neouza 51mm two ear portfailter on a Delonghi Stilosa, tight fit but it does work. A lot better than the Stock Neouza basket as that was running too quickly, this allows a bigger pressure buildup meaning I’ve got more control over the run time of my shots. Haven’t pushed the dosage to the max yet but 15g of medium roast fits easily so pushing that to 18-20g wouldn’t be an issue Review: You can't go wrong with this. - great filter, which I used in my old coffee machine until that gave up. I would still be using it now, but my new machine has it all built in. You get some really nice precision with this one, and it looks good too. ## Features - IMS Precision, Competition Series Filter Basket DL2TH26E - Double Espresso 16-18 grams, height 26mm.

I have two 51mm tampers and neither fit in this basket, because it’s like a cone and gets narrower. What’s up with this?** A: Mine is certainty tight but you shouldn’t need to tamp below the bit that gets narrower as it should be full of coffee. I use 17.5g for this basket which works well for me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well with Neouza 51mm portfilter *by W***B on 13 October 2025* Using with my Neouza 51mm two ear portfailter on a Delonghi Stilosa, tight fit but it does work. A lot better than the Stock Neouza basket as that was running too quickly, this allows a bigger pressure buildup meaning I’ve got more control over the run time of my shots. Haven’t pushed the dosage to the max yet but 15g of medium roast fits easily so pushing that to 18-20g wouldn’t be an issue ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can't go wrong with this. *by W***N on 23 August 2026* great filter, which I used in my old coffee machine until that gave up. I would still be using it now, but my new machine has it all built in. You get some really nice precision with this one, and it looks good too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits 18g but just barely *by M***T on 6 February 2024* So it can hold 18g of ground coffee but it can be messy. Otherwise a much better extraction then the kit filter that came with my machine. I would say as a after thought is good up one size to reduce loading mess.
