Does anyone know if there is another brand of portafilter that will fit a Conti, in this case a Prestina?
Thanks

Why not Conti? Their current lever group is the same as the Prestina.

How long have you had a Prestina?

Gary, I've had it for about ten years now. Got it for $200 on eBay. Wasn't working when I received it, and, thankfully, the seller didn't respond when I complained. So I tinkered with it, cleaned up all the connections, and it came alive. Gave me great service for a few years, but the very hard water in W. Texas ruined all the seals; I didn't know about in-line filters or pumping bottled water. After having it parked for a few more years, I began a slow re-build, and am ready to fire it up this weekend! The journal of your own rebuild/restoration was a big help many times. I'll post some pics this weekend.
