I'm looking into a Nuova Simonelli Musica that's configured for illy pods. Does anyone know how to convert it from Illy iperEspresso Pods to accept grounds?

Thanks

I can't recall whether you need a new screw or not.

It looks like the group head's description is stating that it's not compatible with models converted to pods

The screen isn't compatible with the pod dispersion plate. That's why you need the new dispersion plate too.

Don't forget that you'll need a regular NS compatible PF and basket(s)...those will push the costs up to $100+. The new-ish NS PFs do feel really great in the hand.

Does someone know how do I remove the dispersion piece for the iperespresso pods so I can install the gasket and the regular dispersion plate and screen?
