IKAPE 53mm Espresso Paper Filters (200pc), Coffee Puck Screen Paper Filters Compatible with 54mm Portafilters Basket, Ultra Thin Replacement Paper Filters - Come with Premium Metal Storage Case

These little guys have been a game changer for keeping my expensive machine clean while also making my shots more consistent. They spread water evenly over the puck so there’s less channeling and uneven extraction, and way fewer grounds splattering where they shouldn’t. They really help protect the parts from buildup, which I appreciate because I don’t want my machine getting gummed up. The best part is you don’t have to constantly keep washing them like metal screens - you just chuck them out. If you want better espresso shots and less mess and clean up, these things are worth it

Helps with distribution and keeping the shower screen clean. Disposable after use so, no puck screen to clean either. The clear plastic window on top of the canister is genius! Just rub on your shirt and when you open the can, presto! You have one paper adhered.to the lid for easy removal.

There's a lot of variables that goes into the prepping for perfect shot of espresso. There are two benefits (from my experience) with using these espresso paper filters. 1. Putting a filter on top helped with extraction as I noticed that my shot was coming out more consistent. 2. Putting a filter at the bottom makes for a nice and clean clean up as the coffee grounds are sandwich between two filters. There's no more left over fine coffee sediments in the portafilter or in the shot. These filter came in a nice metal case that will help with storage and keep it clean. I wouldn't say these are required to make for a better espresso but I would say that you get the more benefit for the cost.

I think a 54mm size would have fit the bottom of my 58mm 20 gr. VST basket perfectly. This still covers all the holes; on one occasion I caught the edge while doing WDT. Good quality filter paper. Price is good, and I like the container.

Works perfectly and are much better quality than the last set that I ordered from another company.

I use this every day, keeps my coffee, expresso machine clean...works great and a good value for the 100 count.

High quality paper. Easy to use. I use one on the bottom. They're not the right size -- to small for my port filter -- as a top filter.

I bought the IKAPE 51mm Espresso Paper Filters it comes with 200 filters, to use them just place the paper filter on top of the tamped coffee in the Portafilter and then brew. These paper filters help prevent grinds from being stuck up on the brew head and keep the brew head clean on my Delonghi Dedica ec680. No more mess on the brew head and less time during clean up.
