Hi
After a long futile wait to see if Cafelat will make an all stainless steel portafilter with twin spouts for Gaggia Deco, I have had to modify La Marzocco stainless steel portafilters to fit a 2 group Gaggia.
Both are 58mm dia but the angle in which the handle stops is different as well as the profile of the bayonet lips. The lips protrude quite a bit and needed to be ground down. Then the leading edge rounded a bit. That is all that was needed to make it fit a Gaggia.
Thanks for reading.
