1st Line now has these, apparently in stock, for $9.95, right on their front page. The basket is separate!

I needed a couple things anyways...

It's just a shame that the ones from 1st-line have the logo :-(

IF you buy a thousand of them you can have whatever you want on them. :D

If whoever heads up this groupbuy is willing to drop a couple pieces into a envelope and send it to Canada I'd be willing to join in . My wife would love to give them to me for Christmas( she just dosen't know it yet )!

We got the samples of the PFs at the Seattle SCAA, and Reg had tamp key chains this year. We tried to order the PFs way back but nothing ever materialized. Maybe someone else will have luck.

And yeah... the tampers do fit the portafilters. Very cool. I tried it out as soon as I got the two together.

You could always machine the logo out when you drill your own holes through the basket. :D

I am perfectly happy with the 1st-Line logo on mine.

Me, too. Actually, a county sheriff pulled me aside one day and thought it was a 'special' apparatus for an illegal trade. After I explained it to him and I gave him one with a logo, he let me go. Go figure. :lol:

Just to clarify, I have nothing against 1st-Line, I just hate logos. Not on my clothes, not on my shoes, not on my food, and not on my keyrings. I'm unhappy to have them on my cars, household appliances, computers, and nearly everything else I own. The ubiquity of corporate logos is just one of those annoyances which keeps my life just shy of absolute perfection. If *$ ever embraces latte art, I'm sure it will be with some sort of mermaid stencil.

Corporate branding of stadiums (stadia?) and events pretty much put me in the same boat. I'll wear logoed clothing, but I won't pay for it. If I'm to do advertising for anyone, I'm doing it on the clock.
