    Re: Recommendations on Portafilter

    removing the spouts by running a hole saw through the bottom of the portafilter will also improve your coffees. Plus its fun to watch

    The shots taste much better (to me). With the coffee going straight from the filterbasket to the cup. Nothin but Air between the 2.

    I should have some photos around some where is anyone is intersted.

    BTW a bottomless filter handle can only be made (easily) with the Rancilio commercial handle as the handle will fall off the origonal one.

    I guess the added bonus would be you could fit a HUGE filter basket into it.

    The only downside is you are stuck with pouring doubles.

    Cheers

      Hi Rich,

      Actually, I dont see that as a bad thing to be quite honest. Around our house doubles are about the only thing we drink.

      Cheers,
      Mal.

          Hmmmm.... Im sort of guilty of that too Clarexican. If I have a milk based espresso drink I nearly always follow it with a "real coffee" ;D

          Hey Fresh_Coffee...
          can I get a "triple" basket for the Boema group?

          Im thinking of going naked on the spare boema group handle (so depth shouldnt matter) and was wondering if the diameter of triple baskets was the same between manufacturers?
