Wow! Im getting a headache!
Im wanting to modify my machine with a non-pressurised filter and I just want to confirm that the info Ive got from a few sources (including here) is sending me in the right direction.
Most of the threads I read give advice for adding a non-pressurised PF to a Sunbeam EM4800. The machine Ive got is an EM5600, which apparently is effectively the same machine, so Im guessing (hoping) mods suggested for the 4800 will work.
Ive read that the Krups filter is good, but the Breville one is better (for this purpose), and the Breville part # for the filter is ESP4/51. When I rang to order one I was told they didnt have it, but DID have ESP2/41 which is for a different Breville machine, but exactly the same as the ESP4/51.
When I rang to order the Krups Group Head Seal (MS-620342), they didnt have it, but DID have a Breville seal (for an 800ES, I think) that is apparently exactly the same as the Krups.
So....... Ive looking at modifying my Sunbeam EM5600 with a Breville ESP2/41 1-2 cup filter and a Breville seal (not sure of the part #).
Am I on the right track??
