Part 5513281001 is DeLonghi's genuine easy clean filter basket for two cups, the basket that sits in the portafilter for a double shot. It suits a run of DeLonghi espresso machines including the EC680, EC685 and EC695, the EC820, EC850 and EC860, and the ECP3220, ECP3420 and ECP3630, along with ECO311, ECOV311 and ECZ351 models.

Replacing a DeLonghi double shot filter basket

The filter basket holds the ground coffee in the portafilter while hot water is forced through it under pressure. Its fine holes control how fast the coffee flows, which affects the strength and crema of the shot. Baskets get lost, dropped and dented, or the holes clog with old coffee oils and limescale, giving slow, bitter or patchy extraction. If the basket no longer sits firmly in the portafilter or falls out when you knock out the puck, it is time for a new one. Keeping a spare on hand also saves waiting if one goes missing.

Using and cleaning the basket

Let the machine and portafilter cool before swapping baskets. Press the new basket firmly into the portafilter until it seats evenly. After each use, knock out the puck and rinse the basket, and soak it now and then to clear coffee oils from the holes. Descale the machine as the manual recommends, as limescale can also block the basket over time.
