Hi there, I'm not too sure where to post this but just thought to see if anyone has success with the matching the two items in the title

Thanks!

I'm going to say no. My LM PFs don't fit in the Oscar I'm tearing down at the moment. The LM ears are larger and oriented differently.

Sorry for the squished image...posting from my phone, toddler is using my notebook...

I'm curious, why do you ask?

It is possible to fit a LM portafilter into a Simonelli Aurellia, as long as the bayonette ring is turned. But because the Musica, Appia and Oscar have the same style group (no bayonette ring), LM portafilters will not fit.

Thanks for the replies [and nice pictures]! :D

actually looking for an ergonomic and possibly rubberized handle type bottomless portafilter for the Musica...

No luck thus far finding something that fits perfectly.

The best i've gotten thus far is the one from Cafelat which occasionally leaks.

As for an espressoparts bottomless I got, leaks less but it locks in at 4 o'clock; somehow didn't seem ideal so i'm still searching.
