“Added this to a stock porta filter that came with my Mii Coffee/ Turin espresso machine. It doesn’t improve the quality or taste of the espresso but it adds a nice touch of style to the machine. In addition to a basket upgrade, I’m glad to say that it has been a pleasure to use despite others suggesting that you throw the stock porta filter out in favor of a better one. If you’re new to espresso making just use what you have until you’re comfortable enough with the process. You might be surprised at how much use you can get from it. Thankful to Espresso Parts for the product and will be back in the future.”
