Looking for second portafilter for vintage La Pavoni

Probably not going to chop the portafilter. I am happy with my shots after I took the spout off the bottom

Looking for second portafilter for vintage La Pavoni

Thank you for all the info. I need to refine my technique anyway and will try it your way and see what happens. However I really like the clip. It prevents the basket from tumbling out when I dump the grounds

Pavoni repair shop in Boston

Trying to find a repair shop in Boston for my sister's Pavoni lever machine. Handle catches and clicks near the bottom of the pull. Definitely a problem. Anyone have a clue or which part is needed? Machine is about 20 years old

Baratza Vario mystery part

Thanks for page 8. My manual must be an old one since my page 8 has no mention of this calibration procedure

Baratza Vario mystery part

I just received my brand new baratza vario grinder. In a separate small cardboard box along with the rest of the parts, there is a heavy round metal part with "finer" stamped in three places on the top. A long thin metal stem extends a few inches down from the top. I may be new to the grinder game
