Hey guys! Coffee novice here picking things up as I go. I have the EM4800 which has been sitting in the cupboard for a few months and ive pulled it out, descaled it and used it the past few mornings. Ive noticed reading alot about modifying this machine with parts from the krups machine. I am considering purchasing the basket and group seal from a local electric motor shop which apparently sells replacement krups parts.
Forgive me for being a novice, but could someone suggest to me the best basket and group seal (including part numbers) which work with little or no modification with this machine.
Also I took the plastic piece out of the portafilter and once cleaned tried to screw it back in but it wouldnt seal anymore, even after using plumbers tape on the screw. Now whenever i use it, the coffee comes out both nozzles while water comes out the middle screw area and dilutes the espresso
p.s. Im a cappucino man if it helps, and Im gonna be making my first purchase of freshly roasted ground beans from peaberrys (my local roast in Newcastle) when I get this machine modified and sorted.
