I just saw this video and noticed the LM portafilter being used on the Aurelia. I LOVE the look of the LM portafilters and can't find out any info on how to do this, or where to buy them from. Does anyone have any info at all??? I would love to have these for my Aurelia!

Never mind they aren't the LM portafilters. I found them here!

They are stainless steel and can be spouted or bottomless. Does anyone have any experience with these portafilters?

I'm going to change the topic of the thread to reflect this question.

You'll find plenty of opinions with a quick search. The Cafelat XT Convertible Portafilter Review provides more details. I don't use the "convertible" feature very often, but it's a nice option.

I just found that Dan thank you! So I'm guessing you use these? I am thinking I am going to get them for my Aurelia. Feel free to delete this thread because I found all the answers I was looking for :)

I don't see a spring. So do they work well with ridge less baskets?

Edit: I keep asking questions before researching ha I do see it comes with a clip.
