“Compared to the original portafilter this item was flimsy and light weight. It was so thin that it was bent and warped to a point that it would not seal. I had to return it and braze some additional material to the original and remachine it. This was not a useful purchase at all. Luckily the return process has been painless ( we’ll see when the refund hits my account though).”
“We're using this with an old Astoria lever machine, this is a very welcome improvement, allowing insight into how well the puck was tamped in the basket. Also, with less surface for the shot to traverse, it's far easier to keep clean.”
