    Im sorry I cant help with the uneven pour problem, my Silvia seems to be fairly even in that regard. This does remind me that I bought a single spout from coffee parts the other week, but havent been able to attach it as I havent been able to get the original one off! Ive been trying to unscrew it in the usual fashion (i.e righty tighty, lefty loosy) with no success, and I gave up due to fear of damaging my portafilter. Any clues as to how to get this spout off?

    Try using a screwdriver that fits through the double spout (or something cyclindrical and solid that will fit through the double spout). Use the screwdriver as a lever to loosen the spout. Perhaps wrapping the screwdriver/cylinder with some thin cloth will help protect the spout. I just used an appropriate sized phillips driver with my double spout and it come off easily.

    Hope this helps

      I wrapped the spouts in a cloth towel, then clamped them in the jaws of a vice (which had already had wooden jaw faces added). With a very small amount of force on the end of the PF handle, the threads began to turn.
