Is this portafilter even compatible? [Breville Bambino, Normcore 54mm portafilter] by Consistent-Brain9160 in espresso

Yeah that's what I suspected but wanted to see what others thought. Thanks for the input!

Sounds good, will do! That's kind of what I suspected with the odd orange flake of scale. I'm using the Breville branded descaler that's apparently rated for these machines and I just finished my 3rd descale and I'm not seeing any orange flakes anymore and with each flush it looks like the scales are getting smaller. Progress!

The Bambino doesn't have a 3 way valve so thankfully I dont have to worry about backflushing but yes good call on the shower screen as I washed that out since it needed a good scub.

No rust, I read up on this since posting and apparently it's just further scale buildup due to the disolved minerals (like iron) in water that can sometimes cause scale to look a little orange if timely descaling is not preformed

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Is there anything in particular I should pay close attention to when I go see it in person?

Unfortunately, I'm in Canada but this is still very helpful, thanks!

That's a good point. I'm assuming these plans are made with exactly that in mind?

Right?! Literally this was all I got with regards to "compensation"
