I agonized over this for a while and eventually found reliable citations indicating that the 51mm portafilters for DeLonghi EC680/EC685 are a good fit for the Cafe Roma. There are lots of options out there. I bought this spouted portafilter from Amazon and it works well: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09M7B8689?ref=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_AFGTDBYMWXQAS0RFYW01&ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_AFGTDBYMWXQAS0RFYW01&social_share=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_AFGTDBYMWXQAS0RFYW01&starsLeft=1
