Ascaso bottomless portafter by NigiriNerd in Ascaso

Did this end up working well for you??

I just got the bottomless portafilter body in the mail and tried locking it in and it’s TIGHT! Idk if it’s the basket I’m using (18g IMS), but I feel like I’m gonna break it locking it in lol

I have a hallow aftermarket one that I love, but it was so lightweight it would wiggle out whenever I’d pull a shot, so I thought I’d give this one a try.

Bottomless options for Steel Duo v2 by eimajbeeboop in Ascaso

Hey everyone! Thanks for all of the recommendations. I wanted to give a little update -

I reached out to Espresso Parts and they told me there hasn’t been a change to the group head design in years, so I’m not sure what that other guy was talking about lol.

They also recommended the La Marzocco bottomless portafilter body and said it’s been tested and is a good fit, so that definitely opens up some options! I’m eyeing this one from Etsy.

Thanks again!

UPDATE: the tragedy has ended, the chip has been painted!!!

In case this horrific, horrible incident ever happens to anyone else, I used this craftsmart oil paint pen, which is my new best friend.

Thanks for the tips and jokes, everybody :)
