Is this 6910 PF stainless or brass?

Oh that’s good. You must do regular backflushes which would help keep it clean. I’ve seen portafilters in all sorts of horrid states under there.Originally posted by FilthySudo View PostRelatively quite good! This was after a very quick wipe and looks good! But before that had a slight brownness from coffee

I'd say it's probably brass, going from the threads. Are the two ears like in the photo of the original one you wanted or are they longer?
You could just check by scraping a small amount of the chrome away from an inconspicuous spot and checking the metal.
Regarding the plastic insert, I had a machine in once and the complaint was a funny taste in each coffee. After I established their coffee and grinder was ok, I checked the shower screens for old coffee residue with not much found. They had been cleaning it as I had recommended from the first time I saw the machine.
I forgot about the plastic insert until I gave the portafilter a clean. Once I removed it, the source of the taste was evident. A mostly decomposed cockroach.
You wouldn't believe the amount of earwigs I've removed from within Nespresso machine outlets as well. Given it's a capsule machine, they probably made the coffee taste better.

I'll ask a friend of mine who knows more about metal than I do! I am going to buy a 2nd portafilter regardless so if mine is brass then I will turn this one naked and keep the other in case I need to make drinks for more than myself from the one double shot! But that is absolutely so gross! I'm so glad I've taken mine out, wonder if the shot will be any different. And hahah yes!
