    Can i ask who is this renzo and where do i find him/her/them?
    Renzo is the technical half of DiBartoli Coffee Centre- who are site sponsors. He or business partner Ofra will be only too happy to assist...

    You can find them over there <<<<<<< or at Bondi Junction in Sydneytown...

    I recall there is one way that it wont work....

    I know that I can get my e-61 p/f pressure gauge into a Silvia. I *think* that my naked p/f wont go as the lugs are too thick...

    Sammus,

    I dont know the specifics of these two machines....

    However I would be surprised - very surprised - if they are interchangeable.

    Whilst baskets can be interchanged between 58 mm PF machines, the PFs themselves are designed for that particular machine..... the lugs are different sizes and a different distance down from the lip..... generally some can be made to fit (should I say forced to fit) a different brand of machine with considerable use of a file on the lugs.... others would require a much thicker group gasket to come even close to sealing.....

    If I was a betting man - Id say you have bucklies chance!!

    Surely some must know this?

    I know the PF are both 58mm, but I thought there could be some design differences which would prevent them from being compatible..

    Silvia PF handle work in VBMDS?

    Hi, Im prepping my Silvia to go on the market (watch out for it ) and Im one of those people who likes to use a naked portafilter. Will the handle I use in my Silvia (bought from coffeeparts) work/fit in the Vibiemme Domobar Super? Or would I be better off just cutting out the single spouter it comes with?

    Cheers

    PS Couldnt decide which machine category to put this post in, so I figure even though it is machine specific, itll just have to go in the non-specific section )
Working...
