This is a quality bottomless portafilter which works great with my Expobar Brewtus. It is however, significantly less robust than the portafilter which comes with the Brewtus. This does not affect the espresso in any way as water is never in contact with the portafilter itself in this setup, only the portafilter basket. But the handling, and feel of the portafilter is not as satisfyingly solid as the Expobar portafilter. The walls of the portafilter where the basket is seated are noticeably thinner, and the handle itself is not quite of as high a quality. But to brew with a bottomless portafilter is a real pleasure. I would brew this way everytime from now on, which is all the more reason that I'd prefer that the build quality be top notch, which in this case is not. Good quality, but not quite as nice as it could be.
