“My new portafilter does longer fits properly due to being a second-party portafilter that is not sold with the device, a La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II. This gasket is a 0.2 mm larger (between the grouphead and portafilter) and takes up the small amount of slack that occurs. This allows the portafilter to lock securely and stops any leaks or sprays from the top of the portafilter. This ensures you get the maximal espresso enjoyment with off-tastes, spray, or unneeded waste.”
