La Pavoni Bottomless Portafilter for PRE-Millennium Lever Machine

La Pavoni Bottomless Portafilter for PRE-Millennium Lever Machine Made in Italy

**Please see the note below prior to purchasing this non-returnable item.**

Fits: All the Europiccola and Professionale models made before the year 2000. We refer to this as a 49mm portafilter (basket’s inside diameter), and it fits a 49mm tamper. This portafilter also works on Elektra MC Leva Groupheads (see Video here). (If you’re looking for a bottomless for a Millennium machine, please see this link.)

If you’d like a deeper basket, please see the IMS B582TH29E 29mm basket.

This portafilter is COMPLETE with:

• Portafilter Body with a groove for the clip to hold the basket in place
• Portafilter Clip
• Double Basket (Elektra Style deeper one)
• Bolt stock 12mm

NOTE: In all sincerity, this is something that many vendors wouldn’t even mention since this sort of situation has become more and more prevalent with many parts. Still, if you’re familiar with our company, then you probably know we set our standards high. Here’s the deal: Most of these portafilters have minor blemishes, such as small dents or dings in the brass under the chrome finish. None of these blemishes will prevent the portafilter from working as intended or shorten the life of the chrome finish. The manufacturer does not consider these seconds. (They are certain we inspect every item we receive with a magnifying glass - and in some cases we do - but these are portafilters, after all, and we’d be hard pressed to find what we’d consider perfect ones from any supplier.) It’s difficult for us to capture good images of the dings due to the shiny chrome finish, but we will not send anything that we personally wouldn’t be okay receiving after reading this item description (i.e. serious dents, blistered chrome or exposed brass) if we were the customer.

2nd NOTE: In addition to the above, the black handles we are receiving these days are not as pretty and shiny as they used to be. We inspect each one and weed out the worst, but none are perfect. They will of course show wear quickly as you start to use them anyway, if that helps...
