    i wont tell you how many times i have stood at the counter of a a shop trying to describe the item i wanted in different terms to what the shop assistants knew... :-[

    being a Dutch woman trying to buy English named stuff in a technical shop environment is not always easy, albeit sometimes quite comical ( for others, that is ;D ;D)

    yep, very thin white tape on blue spool in white plastic surround: indeed the thin white stuff you use to wrap around water tap fittings and the like

    OK so finally got to go to bunnies today to look for some teflon tape..........

    Not much luck there, but I am wondering, this elusive teflon tape - is it just threading tape that you use when putting taps back on etc? If it is then that is good because I have tonnes of it, if not then is it universally known as teflon tape, or something else?

    Cheers from a man feeling a bit like a gumby at the moment.

    Look in the plumbing section. Probably find some as cheap as 50c a roll.

    Gday all

    I am in need of some teflon tape? to help with a leaky single wall basket conversion for my ristretto.
    The basket that I got actually has a thinner lip so when under pressure the water rises and drips - this drip goes into the shot and Im not overly keen on that.

    I was thinking that as teflon tape has been bandied around here as a fixer of just about anything I would try to source some and put it around the top of the PF to give the basket some height back.

    Any ideas on where to buy said tape - or any other suggestions for a fix? Remembering that we are talking a $79 machine, so nothing too extravagent!!

    Thanks in advance.
    Any hardware shop, plumbing supplies or similar. It might cost you as much as a whole $2
