  • La Mar portafilter problem

    Hey all a friend owns a new la Marzocco and I was visiting her cafe today and brought my naked portafilter to let her have a play with it (its off some rancilio commercial) it fit every other 58mm domestic and commercial machines but wont fit her la Marzocco.
    Is this normal?? I thought it would have for no worries.
    I looked and compared her portafilter and my naked one all looks very similar, although her one had a longer base where the spouts r but this wouldnt make any difference.
    Whats going on?

    Ur help greatly appreciated

    The lugs have to match.

        No it wont fit, Marzocco lugs are longer and slightly thicker use a handle from wega, faema, marzocco, or synesso only, available from coffee parts.

            The first bottomless PF I ever owned was a Rancilio handle that Dan Kehn gave me. Ive used it on my Linea 2AV quite successfully for a few years.

            It is currently on lone to another CS member or I would post a photo of it in action or should that be inaction...
