Hey!

I'm getting a new filter basket for my Zacconi Baby Riviera lever. It has a lot in common with the old group Europiccola and at one time I had both machines. I was able to use the PF of the Europiccola in the Zacconi but had to use the Zacconi filter basket as it has a flat lip.

Now that I'm looking at it, I'm thinking I might be able to squeeze a basket for the new group in there. I've already modified my current PF as it was badly worn when I got it so modding it a little bit more is okay by me. The OD on the recess for the group gasket is 60mm on my Zacconi. Worst case I'll have to trim a little off the edge of the new basket.

I'm interested to know if anyone has the outside measurement at the straight wall at its widest of the IMS double basket for the Europiccola 51mm groups. I can only find the flange and tamper dimensions for it. The ID of my PF as it is now varies in diameter between 51.86 and 51.3.

It would make finding tampers and accessories a whole lot easier.

Regards
