I have finally decided to take the plunge and get a La Marzocco double filter basket for my Silvia. I have a number of questions that I would like to put to the esteemed members of this forum before I make my order:
1. Where should I make the purchase? To my knowledge the only (and best) source is www.coffeeparts.com.
2. Should I get the ridged or ridgeless basket? Does Coffeeparts stock both items? Having a look at their website (http://www.coffeeparts.com/mar/mar1.html) they have two versions of the LM 14g double filter basket - part numbers 300013 and 521994. I cant work out the difference between the two.
3. Are there problems with fitting the LM basket into the Silvia PF? I hear that the ridgeless filter has a tendency to fall out when the puck is knocked out. Apparently it doesnt sit too tightly within the Silvia PF.
4. Does upgrading to the LM filter really improve the quality of the shots?
Thanks very much for your help
