Hey Folks,

It's my first post and I'm new to the community. I recently inherited a Stefano Ugolini Espresso maker. The only problem.... no portafilter!!! So i'm leaning on the knowledge of the collective hear to help me solve my problem. I guess I either find a person willing to sell this rare item or perhaps there is a fabricator out there interested in a project. Your thoughts???

Oh and yes I have talked with Thomas E Cara (San Francisco) and Stefano Espresso care (Oregon) without luck.

Help me ahhh

Congratulations! There's one posted on eBay Italy. Maybe they can measure the portafilter and basket for you.

It looks very much like an old Elektra Microcasa a Leva, so I'm going to venture a guess at 49mm. Maybe someone would be willing to loan you an extra portafilter to try it out.

Adam has cross-posted this same message on CoffeeGeek here. I've put the thread on cooldown status because we strongly discourage cross-posting. Here is the rationale.

Why is cross-posting strongly discouraged?

Thanks for the quick response! I will check it out. And sorry for the cross posting, I didn't realize the implications.

Hi. Adam. I happen to have a spare portafilter for an Elektra micro casa a leva. I live in ripon, ca about 90 mi from you. Id be happy to send it to you for trial. If you are interested send me a pm and we'll go from there.

I heard from someone that a Microcimbali portafilter and basket may fit. The Microcimbali portafilter is a similar size to the Millennium (3rd gen) La Pavoni Europiccola. If that's true, Elektra would be a bit too small at 49 mm.

Thanks Gary I'll look into it
