Hi snobbers 
Im in Darwin, NT and I find it hard to find any good local knowledge - there seems to be no Breville spare parts agent here either.
Im looking for some non-pressurised baskets for the BES820. Id prefer not to drill out mine, as my wife will probably still want to use them until she feels comfortable with the "new" ones.
Can anyone recommend where I can purchase baskets online for this machine? Im happy for sponsors to chime in and say "I sell them"!! Ive heard (one this site) that these ones will do:
Bar Italia ESP 4/51 1-2 cup non- pressurised basket
Krups (not sure what kind)
Another question: is it worth buying a generic 1-2 cup basket if Im making a lot of singles? Ive heard that the coffee shouldnt be too far from the inlet.
And finally, one of the Breville group handles that come with the new BES860 would be nice - anyone know if theyre interchangeable with the BES820? (Its the one with two "waterfalls" that let you see the coffee as its falling)...
Thanks heaps!
