A 51-millimeter distributor and tamper in one, for DeLonghi EC680 and ECP3220 series and other 51 mm (2.01 in) portafilters.
Where we land on it The only 51-millimeter tool on this shelf, which is the size DeLonghi uses and nothing else here fits. It names four machine families and tells you to confirm your portafilter before buying.
Fifty-one millimeters is the DeLonghi size. Nothing else on this shelf fits it and it fits nothing else on this shelf.
That makes the purchase simple and the mistake expensive, which is why the listing ends its first bullet with a warning: Please confirm your portafilter size before purchase.
Two listings on this shelf tell you how to use the tool. This one says to tamp with the arm straight at ninety degrees, and explains why: a tilted press channels.
That is a sentence of real advice on a product page, and it costs nothing to follow.
Read on the day this page was built: $28 at the American Amazon shop.
Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.
At $28, it is the 2 cheapest of the 6 models in this category published here.

The listing names the EC680 and ECP3220 series specifically and asks you to confirm before buying. That is the right instruction: DeLonghi has used more than one basket size across its range, and a tool three millimeters out is scrap.
No. Breville Barista machines take the 53 or 53.3 mm (2.10 in) tools on this shelf, and prosumer machines take 58 mm (2.28 in). Three different sizes on one shelf serve three different ecosystems.
Pressing straight down with the forearm in line, rather than at an angle. The listing names it as the way to avoid channeling, which is one of only two pieces of technique published anywhere on this shelf.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

A DeLonghi EC680 or ECP3220, or any other machine with a 51 mm (2.01 in) portafilter
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for coffee equipment and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
8 × 0.4 mm (0.016 in) needles · magnetic stand
Eight fine needles you stir through the grounds before tamping. It costs about $25 and fixes more bad shots than any other accessory here — including ones costing twenty times as much.
Best for: Every single person with a non-pressurized basket. There is no exception worth naming.
58 mm (2.28 in) · naked base · walnut handle
Removing the spouts turns an invisible process into a picture. You see channeling happen, which is the only way most people ever learn to stop it.
Best for: Anyone learning espresso who cannot work out why some shots are bad.
58.5 mm (2.30 in) · 1.7 mm (0.07 in) mesh · stainless
A fine steel disc that sits on the puck. It distributes the incoming water and keeps the shower screen clean — the second of which is the reason to buy it.
Best for: Anyone tired of wiping the shower screen after every session.
