Guaranteed Safe Checkout
IKAPE rainbow wood bottomless portafilterAn open base that shows your extraction, on a handle worth leaving out on the counter.
This IKAPE bottomless portafilter has no spouts underneath, so the espresso is visible the moment it leaves the basket. Its grip is layered colored wood in a rainbow finish called Aurora, and the head holds a precision filter screen. Seven fits cover 58 mm (2.28 inches) universal groups including E61, 51 mm (2.01 inches) De'Longhi machines, and dedicated De'Longhi 9 series, Gaggia and Bofu handles. Home baristas learning to read a shot as it pours get the most from it.

What the open base shows you
Spouted portafilter
- Spouts hide the flow under the basket
- You only find channeling when the shot tastes thin
- Fixing grind or tamp turns into guesswork
This naked portafilter
- You see the stream form across the screen
- Side jets point straight to a tamp or puck problem
- You change one thing and check it on the next pull
Expect a little spray while you learn. That is the feedback doing its job.
Match the handle to your machine

De'Longhi
Dedicated
Unsure which machine you own? The model plate on the back will tell you.
Two ears or three, check first
Flip your current portafilter and count the lugs that lock it in. Two-ear and three-ear handles do not swap, so match the lug count and the diameter before you choose.
A fair read
A good pick if you
- Are learning to dial in grind and tamp at home
- Run an E61 or De'Longhi machine and want a handle that stands out
- Would rather spot channeling than taste it
Look elsewhere if you
- Split shots into two cups, which needs spouts
- Want a calmer look, in which case compare the AIRFLOW wood handle portafilter
The details
Short answers
Why use a bottomless portafilter?
To see your extraction. A bottomless portafilter has no spouts, so espresso runs straight off the filter screen. A centered, even stream means a well prepared puck, while side jets point to uneven tamping.
Which version fits my De'Longhi?
Go by the handle your machine came with. There are two 51 mm (2.01 inches) choices, two-ear and three-ear, plus a dedicated handle for the De'Longhi 9 series. If your model is none of these, check its group size before ordering.
Does it work on an E61 group head?
Yes. Choose the 58 mm (2.28 inches) two-ear universal version, the option marked for E61.
What pairs well with an open base?
Gear that keeps the puck level, since an open base exposes every flaw. Our ripple-base tamper and its wooden grip suit the look, and owners of a 58 mm (2.28 inches) version can add a colorful titanium filter basket.
