  • 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 )

    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..

      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!!

        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...

        As for Silvia in e-61 Im not sure....Nevertheless, Renzo has nakeds for a heap of machines at bargain prices!

              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...
