I just ordered a Vetrano from Bella Barista (UK). I have already a Flojet and it seems to have a 3/8" John Guest type of connector. There is also an adaptor from 3/8" to 1/4". I assume Vetrano doesn't have this type of connector by default but there is a threaded connector? At least in the ones sold in Europe. Could someone please point out what kind of adaptor I need. And a place to order them to Europe.

Chris' Coffee uses a John Guest fitting (3/8" male pipe thread). The threading on the fitting isn't precisely the same (BSPP versus BSPT), but it seals with some Teflon tape and some "persuasion." I can't suggest particular places to buy it in Europe; here in the US, push-on fittings are available at plumbing supply stores, big box stores like Home Depot (under the Watts brand), and online.
