I have a number of 49mm (pavoni I think) baskets and none of them fit perfectly into the Cremina. They all catch slightly when engaging and removing the PF. Can someone tell me if the 49mm Elektra basket will fit *perfectly* before I order some?

And since Cremina owners have been known to also own the Maximatic / Livietta... Does anyone have a *perfect* 54mm replacement basket? The LSM i have catches as well, but the generic triple in my Penney bottomless does not. Does anyone have a source for these?

Re: 49mm baskets, yes. At least, yes to my usage on both Cremina and Maxi.

No idea about 54, though.

Cool, I'm about to buy some double 49mm baskets for my older Livietta.
