La Marzocco Soft Portafilter Handle M12  €10.99

Details:
La Marzocco style handle - generic - not original - heavier than the original Marzocco and 40% heavier than the standard PVC handle.

If your old handle is worn and tired - time for an upgrade. Nice hand feel and fits like a glove and is 224 grams in weight, which is 75g heavier than a regular PVC handle.

The bulk of the weight is at the end of the handle so the portafilter is weight-balanced.

⚠️Before you buy:

1. Measure your own portafilter thread in case you have a different size, as there is a wider M12 size as well.
2. Check that you can remove your existing handle, as some come glued** and are very hard to remove.

💡If the portafilter handle is glued:

• It might be possible to remove the handle by immersing the portafilter in a bowl of boiling water - leave the handle sticking up so it is not damaged.
• Leave it for 10 min.,
• Wrap a towel around the portafilter and try loosening the handle.

💡Rubber handle: Although soft it is still firm - but not as hard as a PVC or wooden handle.
