Normcore 58 mm vloerloze zeefhouder, compatibel met E61, Flair 58, ECM, Rocket, Sanremo, Synesso, Slayer, VBM

Es un portafiltros muy bien hecho y cumple con la función principal, ver el filtro por la parte inferior. Sin embargo, al usarlo me di cuenta que hay un problema muy grande, al menos para mi. El portafiltros se apoya en el mango al dejarlo en la bascula, esto probablemente sea un problema para la gran mayoría de diseños similares. Despues de probarlo simplemente no había forma de pesar el portafiltros con el café sin que fuera engorroso de usar. Si teneis un molinillo gravimetrico o pesais el café antes de meterlo en el portafiltros, esto no será ningun problema. También hay basculas con acesorios que facilitan pesar el protafiltros, pero no es mi caso. Por lo demás, un producto sin nada que criticar.

We will start with the Pros. The portafilter is well-built although 60g lighter than the original and fits my DeLonghi La Specialista, it is a little looser but has no issues. The holes in the basket provided seem consistent and the extraction flow is pretty good. . Now the cons which are hugely frustrating. The basket provided is a 22g basket which leaves a huge gap between the top of your coffee puck and the espresso machine. This not only leaves a sludgy puck but there is excess water draining through the puck when you have shut off the machine, you are then trying to take out the portafilter which is dripping all over the place to drain it which leaves a mess. It doesn't state on the Amazon page that it's a 22g basket or I wouldn't have bought it. It was £56 and now you still have to buy a proper basket. Normcore sell an 18g basket for another $40. I bought an IMS basket instead and I hope that fixes the issue or the Portafilter is going back. Despite it being lighter the portafilter is about 3-4mm deeper than the original and that makes it more difficult to watch your shot extraction even with the far larger 22g basket, when the smaller basket comes this will be even worse.

Does not seal correctly at the top, tested with several filters - De'Longhi La Specialista.

The edges lockinging into the machine are unusually thick and tapered. Not compatible with my machine. Received it as a gift past the return period so stuck with it.

Muy buena calidad, muy caro para lo que ofrece. La cesta no tiene un buen acabado en comparación con la Sage original.
