The De'Longhi Dedica use a 51mm grouphead with a 3-ear locking portafilter - a smaller, unique format that requires specifically sized accessories. Everything below is matched for 51mm, from bottomless portafilters to tampers, distributors and puck screens.
What should I upgrade first? +
Bottomless Portafilter - The single biggest upgrade for Dedica owners. Swapping out the stock pressurised portafilter for a 51mm bottomless lets you use single-wall baskets, see your extraction in real time, and dial in shot quality that the stock setup simply can't deliver.
51mm Tamper - The stock Dedica tamper is plastic and undersized. A proper barista-grade 51mm tamper makes an immediate difference to consistency and is a low-cost, high-impact upgrade.
Distributor - Levels your grounds before tamping, eliminating uneven pucks and reducing channelling. Pairs directly with the bottomless portafilter upgrade.
Puck Screen - Sits on top of your puck before extraction. Improves water distribution and makes the grouphead significantly easier to keep clean.
