Alternate Italianstyle Cappuccino Amore Portafilter?

Postby TimEggers on Sat Oct 18, 2008 12:50 am

I'm looking for an alternative (reasonably priced) for the Cappuccino Amore lever machine.

The measurements of my OEM portafilter are:

PF Outside Diameter (O.D.) of ears -- 71.15mm

Ear Length @ base -- 19mm

Ear Height @ thickest -- 5.3mm

Top of basket to bottom of ear -- 8mm

These measurements are within .5mm and I'm hoping to find an alternative portafilter to chop it to bottomless, or better find an inexpensive bottomless for this machine.

I just hate to chop the original since its the only one I've seen.

Tim, I have one in the chrome version from the same machine with basket that I could be willing to sell. Let me know if interested via email, thanks.

My apologies I'd like to clarify that I was curious if the group knew of a source for the portafilter not necessarily the portafilter itself ("Wanted to Buy" request) as this is against site rules. Todd nonetheless I appreciate the correspondence and have PM'ed you.
