Substitute mypressi basket??

Hi..

Anyone happen to know of a filter basket that will work in the mypressi twist?
Since they've gone under, parts are hard to get.
Are there baskets from some other brand/source that would fit and work?
A cheap as dirt tamper would be nice too...

Thanks in advance!

Greg

I picked up a couple of 53 mm filter baskets from eBay, IIRC, and a 53 mm tamper and they fit no problem. I think they were Saeco double filter baskets.

FYI: Rossa Portaspresso use 53mm baskets...I used the mypressi baskets in the PG.

Its been a couple years since I had my mypressi in hand...I can not verify/remember 100% if the Rossa baskets fit into the mypressi; me thinks I used the Rossa in the mypressi. But the mypressi baskets definitely fit the Rossa.

As measured this morning:
mypressi basket: OD (just under the top lip): 55.2mm / ID (just under the top lip: 53.93mm
Rossa PG basket: OD (just under the top lip): 56.25mm / ID (just under the top lip): 55.03mm

The ridged basket in the photo is the Rossa; non-ridged is the mypressi...
