Two double baskets....you are ready to rock!

Sama is good, but not the same if you are used to a 59mm portafilter. None of them are on the same plane as the CMA, not even close.Oh crap, I agree with Tex..... Well Tex I'll pay shipping to my place and put you out of your misery! After watching your video I'd throw that sucker away!

I've never heard of triple 45 mm baskets. My La Peppina uses a 45 mm basket and there was some talk by certain hobbiests of trying to weld two baskets together to make a larger one, but nothing ever came of it.I don't think you really need a triple, not so sure how well it would work anyway.
I still call dibs if you want to get rid of it. If not I will be traveling to vanellis and picking on up directly
TexIs it the o-rings you need? I'd be surprised if the teflon is so bad it won't seal. You may have crud inside...Orphan sells the o-rings. You might email them and see if they have the teflon washer1st line carries the whole valve assembly
Can you flip it over?
I've never looked at it but I bet it's just pressed in and the other side is super smooth..Just throwing that out there.
Looks unflippable.
