PortafilterProcrastinator Abcan That’s what I’m looking at. Off the shelf toggle switch legends won’t have suitable labelling. You can get custom legends, but they’re often plastic. I am still looking, will find something eventually.
Abcan PortafilterProcrastinator I have friend with an etching machine (who loves a project) I’ll see what he thinks. Can’t be difficult to replace them.
DavecUK PortafilterProcrastinator Now they just need to replace the on/off and brew labels! They are certainly my least liked part of the machine. This I agree with and will take up with Paolo in October when I visit.
Abcan ams great thanks! It’s so much easier to use than the Classic! I’ve lost a lot of the bitterness in the shots, something I could never seem to master on the classic. I’m very happy with it.
Abcan Hi All. What bottomless porta filters are you Minima users using please? I like the standard double porta filter but it’s not as easy to clean as the bottomless one I used on the classic. I’ve looked at the Normecore ones and also the ACS ones but wondered if anyone had a recommendation. Thanks Al
MediumRoastSteam Abcan - any generic E61 will fit. Like this one: https://bellabarista.co.uk/products/naked-bottomless-portafilter-for-e61-group-heads?_pos=1&_sid=27b64e85e&_ss=r Or this https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/en/ECM-Naked-Portafilter/m-5140.aspx There are many others.
Abcan Thanks @MediumRoastSteam. Apart from the quality of the handle is there much difference in the various makes?
Igm45 I’m pretty sure I’ve got a generic one laying about somewhere, if you cover the postage you can have it.
Verion @Abcan I bought the ACS one from Black Cat Coffee as it was £35 with postage which at the time was overall the cheapest naked portafilter I could find. You might find one cheaper though, but to everyone else’s point, a generic e61 is no better or worse than the ACS one.
MediumRoastSteam Verion bought the ACS one from Black Cat Coffee as it was £35 with postage That’s a great price. You’d struggle to find anything cheaper than that that is of somewhat decent quality.
Verion MediumRoastSteam I wish someone would make just the portafilter part and let people bring their own handles. Mmm, might have to have a search…
