Portafilter assembly

Postby boomdijk on Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:22 pm

Hello all,

I have just received my La Spaziale Vivaldi II and i have a question.

I have got 2 portafilters. 1 for doubles and one for singles, but the spouts of pf's are not mounted. when i try to mount them on i can only turn them once or maybe twice. there is a lot thread left but the turn very difficultly...

Is it go for it and turn them on with a wrench or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help...

A Newbie :)

I wouldn't use a wrench, finger tight is best. The spouts aren't really necessary, it makes it harder to clean. I use a naked portafilter with the whole bottom missing.
