Making a portafilter gauge?

[Dimal]

I agree mal, but then I was thinking that it's not useful unless the friend has a naked portafilter.
At least it seems most (a few?) portafilter threads are fairly standard.

Yep, that's true enough mate.
I guess I was just thinking that naked PFs seem to be almost ubiquitous these days, but of course, they're not...

Hi Hoggy42
have a look at this thread, it may help. I used Greg’s gauge and it helped

I'd also suggest utilising a Blind Filter to fit the hardware to rather than the Group Handle, as then the end result can be used on a multiple of 58mm filter spec'd machines - In case some friends need your assistance...

From another thread -

"If you're ever looking for a good quality Pressure Gauge for OPV adjustment or troubleshooting, I can recommend one from Edesia Espress which cost around $45 landed from the UK.


They're Certified and more solidly built than the plastic bodied ones. If you search "Edesia Espress Portafilter Pressure Gauge" you'll find them."

Remove the spout from your existing portafilter and attach gauge temporarily for pressure testing.

If I were in the market for a gauge this is the way I would go, inexpensive, easy and from what Cafelotta tells us, a quality unit.
