Details:
This is a high-quality, *generic naked portafilter - made in Milan Italy.
Made from chrome coated, solid brass for maximum heat stability and includes an 18-21 gram basket. *Not an original manufacturer's part but will fit your machine and perform the same way.
The portafilter has an inclined walnut handle which is easier to use and less fatigue for the Barista.
It looks absolutely fabulous against the glossy stainless steel body of the Fracino coffee machine.

Hi,I recently purchased one of these but have only just got round to opening it due to my Mother in Law passing away, so apologies for the late question.
You advertise this as fitting the cherub, but the spout is on the handle side, where as on the original, the spout is on the machine side.
This means the spout on the new filter hangs too far forward and is not over the drip tray.......am I being dumb as I can't see that I can get it to turn to the machine side.
Hope this makes sense without photos.....

Hi Darren, The spout should be facing the handle side, like the original. It is factory-tightened or glued so it may be difficult to remove it. You could insert a screwdriver into the open spout and twist it anti-clockwise. Once the spout is removed you will need to add PTFE tape to the thread, (or thread glue) and screw it back onto the required position. Contact us if you are having issues.
