Universal Clear Spiral Pipe 30 Meters Component 14X20Mm €5.99
Waste water drain hose pipe You may have to cut the end of the hose, if the end of the hose touches the water level. |
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Since the same pressure is applied, this will remove the inconsistencies associated with numerous members of staff applying varying rates of pressure to ground coffee. The tamper can be adjusted by turning the handle clockwise or anticlockwise to decrease/increase the pressure. Turning the handle clockwise will tighten the spring and reduce the pressure required. |

Good evening, my coffee machine is a 2011 Ascaso Basic. I wanted to know if this piece was compatible or where to find the compatible piece. Thanks
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | If your machine has stopped pulsing water through the Thermoblock than you may want to change this part. It fits models with the new thermoblock or if made after +09/2012. |

Croatia
asks
Dear BSC support,
on IMS it says that this shower is 51,9mm in diameter, while in your description it is 51,5mm. I have old Bezzera Hobby (51,9mm shower) and would like to upgrade it with this shower. Also, CI200IM is something I am considering, but it is also 51,5mm.
Will it work on my machine?
Best regards,
Josip
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi, We measured the CI35WM and it is 51.7mm wide - so should be fine - the standard size is 51.5mm for these shower screens. The CI200Im is 51.3mm so 4mm less and would not be a good replacement. |

hi guys
I'm interested to buy the pavoni pressure kit. you mentioned in the description, that it doesn't matter you have a pre- or post-millennium machine? does the piston have the same diameter? i have a post-millennium (2003) machine and the brew group here seems a little wider than on the old ones?
thanks pascal
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | It fits Post-Millenium Europiccola/Professional – 3rd gen machines made after year 2000 - so it will fit your model. |
Myles Glynn

Does this fit the older models made before 2000 ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Yes - fits all Pavoni lever models Inc pre & post millennium versions. |
A
from
Ireland
asks
Hi, do I have to remove that little rubber inside of the pressure gauge or not? With the rubber in its reading 12+ bar. Without it is reading 8 bar. The pressure has never been adjusted before. Not sure which is correct.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi, The gauge kit, comes with a rubber gasket and a metal gauze filter. The gasket is just to make a seal so its wont leak and the metal filter prevents debris getting into the gauge. Most Gaggia machines were set at 12 bar - so your model is probably 12/14 bars. If you are reading 8 bars with the gasket - then the gasket is probably not fitting correctly and is partially blocking the gauge. |
Max

Hallo,
What is the size of the elbow fitting on the tape assembley? And what is the diameter of the teflon pipe?
Thank you in advance.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi, The elbow fitting is 1/8'x1/8' and the PTFE pipe is 4mmx6mm - search i.44 and PTFE pipe for more information. |

Will a 57.4mm tamper fit this ?

Muhammad Asyraf
from
Malaysia
asks
Is this valve adjustable for pressure?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | No, S2 priming valves prevent airlocks in the pump and pressurized water from the boiler from going back into the water reservoir draining the boiler. Search on our site for "OPV kit" or "OPV" to see over-pressure valves. |
Blær
from
Iceland
asks
Hello!
Wonderful upgrade, but I don't have a pressure gauge, so I'm having some trouble finding 9.5 bars.
I was wondering how low does the pressure go and how high, so I can "aim" the screw? :)
Thanks in advance!
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Blaer, I understand that it is adjustable to 9-10 bars. Fitting the OPV reduces pump pressure from 16 bar to 10 bars. |
Peyton Miller
from
United States
asks
Hello! I was wondering if this would fit a Bezerra BZ99? and if not do you sell a shower screen that will fit it? thanks in advance.

Hi, does this kit will fit into Gaggia Classic Pro?

Best
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Karen, It should fit but the dimensions are slightly different: Older Mignon models: (Diameter 41mm x 14mm deep) are 3mm less deep and slightly less wide - should fit, but a tiny bit tight and tall. |

ist this the "I.4364 ASCASO BUTTON" spare part matching for the ASCASO DREAM PID?
I mean the two Buttons left an right of the display.

Joe Thomson
from
United Kingdom
asks
What is the difference between this thick puck screen and the other thin screen ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Joe, Because this puck screen is dense, it will cool the extraction temperature by 1-2 °C. This suits some machines where you cannot control the group temperature, for easy-to-burn 100% Arabica coffees. |
Joseph
from
Ireland
asks
Hi,
I've a Profitec Go, it should take any E61 portafilter. I'm looking at your bottomless ones, Rocket ECM Profitec. Are they actually manufactured by these brands or are they generic non branded? They all look to be the same product?
Do they have a little chrome dot in the handle, 1 picture they do, 1picture they dont.
Last question, the basket that comes with them. Are they ridged or ridgeless?
Thanks,
Joe
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Joseph, (a) The portafilter is generic, aftermarket, and not original, however, I don't think that there is any difference between the original. (b) Comes with the chrome end cap as standard. (c) The basket is 18/21g and is ridgeless |

Hi, im would like to use the Mazzer 233M in my Fiorenzato F5. Sadly it's listed as non-fitting. Can you explain why this is? And give the exact dimensions of the burrs? Especially the beveled base is unclear to me. Thanks in advance
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Julian, I don't know if this will fit Fiorenzato F5, even though, they are both the same dimensions 64mm x 37mm x 8.5mm. We don't have 1 in stock to measure - restocking shortly. |

asks
Hi,
Does this fit all Silvia models?
Br, Martin
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi, Yes it will fit all Silvia models - Older models over 3/5 years, the portafilter may finish at 5 O clock, instead of 6 O clock. In that case, you should use a paper shim to make the gasket thicker. |
Yuval

I'm interested in the 14cm knock drawer in white but I see two identical products with different prices. Can you help me find the difference or direct me to which model is the right one. I would like the walnut wood handle to match my lelit Bianca walnut Version. :)
Thank you so much!
Yuval
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Yuval, This 14cm drawer is made in White, Black, or steel and comes with a walnut wood handle. The walnut color can vary but should look very close to what is in the image. |

will this fit a vbm domobar?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Luigi, it would fit models with at least 3 years of use - as the fins are thicker than the original PF. See for new models https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/en/Vibiemme-Naked-Portafilter/m-5618.aspx |
Martin
from
Slovak Republic
asks
Hi, I'd like to ask if it'll be lose or not with IMS 57MM 22 basket.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Martin, We tested the 57mm tamper with the IMS single basket. There was a little play - 2mm. The IMS B642TH19.5N basket is 57.5mm at the top (and less as you go down, as the basket is tapered) The Ascaso i.280 has even more play - as it 57.3mm inside. So not a perfect fit - a little loose on both baskets.. :-( |
Rami
from
Israel
asks
Hi
I am looking for tamper station for lelit 57mm
Do you have it?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Rami, Both the wooden portafilter stations from Motta were developed for the 58mm portafilters. We tested the 57mm tampers and discovered they are too narrow and slipped into the portafilter hole. All the rest of our tamper stations are fine for 57mm portafilters. |
Michael
from
United Kingdom

Do you know if this would work with a Francis Francis x1? Thanks
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Michael, I don't know if this will fit Francis X1 - but they are both 57mm so probably will fit - just cannot confirm. |
Marek Brylewski
from
Poland
asks
Hi
Would this adjustable fork fit my Eureka Mignon MCI model
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Marek, It probably does fit ..but the MCI hole is 22mm wide and this is 15mm wide - so there will be a little play and the fork may not be fully stable - like in the specialta. |
Lucian

Hi how many grams of coffee should I be using in this basket
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Keith, The basket comes in 3 heights, the greater the height the more that can fit. The H24 would take 16-18 grams approx. This is not exact as it depends on a few factors - but a good indicator. |

Will this fit a vintage (aplimont) mini gaggia machine? If so, is there also a rubber ring that matches this showerscreen? Thanks!
Kind regards,

| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Diyar, Probably does fit but cannot be certain - check your measurements. This is - Width 57.3 mm x Height ø 6 mm. Check the lever section for the gaskets - cafelat should fit - but not certain. |
Laurence
from

asks
Will this fit a gaggia classic 2006 model
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Laurence, This will not fit a 2006 classic, you would need the DeLonghi or Gaggia steam wands. This uses a female nut, the Gaggia uses a male fitting. |
Matt
from
New Zealand
asks
If this is always on how long do the batteries last? Or when you say always on do you mean there is no off switch but that it times out after a period of use? Thanks
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Matt, Batteries seem to last a long time - once activated. There is no/off button - so once activated it will stay on permanently. It will not time out, but stays on. |

Hello,
I have a vintage machine with an open boiler. Is it possible to throw the sensor directly in to the boiler in order to monitor the water temperature?
Kind regards,

| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi, Dont think it is designed for that purpose, you would probably shorten its life. Better to attach to the coffee group to measure the exit water temp. |

Gavin
from

Hi, I’m struggling to locate this inside my machine; don’t suppose you could send me a picture of where it is? I strongly suspect I have to replace it - I was cleaning the machine today by running Lilly cleaner through it, and suddenly there was a small pop sound followed by an electrical burning smell, and the machine immediately stopped pulling.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Gavin, This is the fuse that sits on the boiler - it is not found on thermoblock versions. It is possible that the boiler seal on the boiler has burst resulting in a leak. The technical dept will send you a separate email. |

Noa
from
Israel
asks
If I have an old (90's) Gaggia classic with an inversys pump, should I but this one or the ULKA?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Noa, Invensys rebranded to ARS - check the code on your pump - this is a CP3A. The ARS is more powerful at 65 watts, EX5 is 48 watts and the connectors point the opposite way. So better get the ARS pump. |
Marek
from
Ireland
asks
Hello,I am looking for a pump that will be compatible with Delonghi Dolce Gusto.My pump model is PHOENIX-50 B2P, 53W, 1.5MPa.Thank you Marek
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Marek, the PHOENIX-50 B2P is more powerful at 53W 1min ON 1Min OFF and EX5 is 48w 2min ON 1in OFF. But the difference is so slight so should be a suitable alternative. |

Michael
from
United States
asks
will this fit a Profitec 700 with its lower group?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Micheal, This is a new product so we don't have much feedback yet. It will fit Profitec models but you would have to measure it to see if it fits your model as the knob is the same as an E61 knob. You would need 38mm clearance from the existing mushroom and 52mm for the black knob. |
Thomas
from
United Kingdom - Northern Ireland
asks
Do I still need to have a water filter for my coffee machine, if our hotel has a softner for the building?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Thomas, Yes - You still need a dedicated water filter for your coffee machine. Usually, the water for the whole building can lose its ability if too much water went into it or is not generated on time. So while handy - they are not reliable. Coffee machine downtime, waiting on repairs and parts is too important to leave to chance. |
Mary
from

Hi, Can we use on our coffee machine, for the canteen ? or do we need a different one ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Mary, This one is designed for drinking water, it removes the smell of chlorine and reduces the strong mineral taste. While it offers some reduction in lime, it is no substitute for use with a coffee machine. You would need a Purity C Quell St Cartridge system. |

Good evening,
I’ve recently purchased a 2008 Ascaso Steel 2 Duo… (I think!)
There’s not much information out there regarding these machines, and I’m trying to work out whether this shower screen will fit my model.
The sticker on the base of the machine states INOX DUO M.F. STEAM.
My machine currently has a very small, rudimentary looking shower screen with wide holes. It seems to fit but it looks very basic for a machine at this price point and I’ve seen photos of larger screens (a bit like the one pictured) on this machine elsewhere.
Happy to provide photos or any other details necessary. Any help or advice gratefully received!
Thanks,
James
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi James, I think you have the versatile version of Steel, if so, you will need a converter kit to use a ground shower screen. Search Ascaso Versatile To Ground Kit - allows you to have full extraction using ground coffee. |

| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Viktorila, You should regenerate the resin beads with salt, approx once per month depending on how much water goes through it. See the video on this product page or the operator manual for more information. |
Fares

Denmark
asks
What the best pakning for 2 group .
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Fares, If your Fracino machine is 3 years or older - 9mm thick should suit - if the machine is new 8.5mm would be a better fit. |

Any shower screen that can fit Londinium Vectis?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Raymond, We do not have specifications for the Vectis shower. It does use the older traditional type push-on lever shower screen, which may be particular to the Vectis. |

Is this suitable for use on Ascasco machines?

Alex

Is this compatible with rocket boxer espresso machine
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Alex, They are similar but not the same. This is 9 watts and the one you need is 11 watts. You need coil 491514Q3 D4G 11W - we don't have that one. |

Gil
from
Israel
asks
Hi,
Will this product be safe for descaling a Bezzera crema/bz13, which is a Hx machine?
Thanks
Gil
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Gil, While it's possible to de-scale a prosumer machine, it is a procedure best performed by a technician or competent person. Only the group + heat exchanger + group solenoid could be de-scaled - a pressurized boiler could not be de-scaled. |
Tristan
from
Singapore
asks
Does this work for Ascasco Steel?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Tristan, Yes suitable for all ascaso models - citric acid is safe to use. |
Noémie
from

asks
Hello, I'm highly interested in this product.
Can you confirm this one is made in italy and not a fake one from china?
Can you please provide a picture or something that proves it's italian.
Thanks in advance
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Noemie, We source this from a manufacturer from Milan Italy, they get it directly from Rancilio. It does not state where it was made. This is the latest steam wand made from stainless steel - Previous wands were made from chrome-plated brass. |

Will this fit a profitec 400? Thanks
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Ronan, the Profitec should fit - search #5560 |
Jason
from
South Africa
asks
Hi, I watched some Youtube videos on this UNO and it seems there is a wait before using the steam wand of over 2 minutes. Some comments suggested that the wait is not as long in UK/EU due to 220v power supply vs the lower power supply in the USA. Could you please comment on this as it would be a key factor in my decision. Thank you. Jason
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Jason, Yes, you have to wait for the thermoblock to reach the steam point before you have steam, as there is only 1 boiler. (No wait if you have the DUO). The voltage is different in USA 120v v 230v in the EU, think the wait time would probably be the same. 2 min is very little - turn on the steam, and by the time you have your milk and jug collected it's almost time to steam anyway. |
Ian
from
United Kingdom
asks
I have fitted this to a 2007 Gaggia Classic. It protrudes far too high to get the cup warmer refitted. The only way to fit it will be to put an elbow out of the pump and fit the Pulsor horizontally - is this permitted by the manufacturer?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Ian, any modification would invalidate the manufacturer's warranty. Yes - you should be able to add a 1/8'' elbow fitting - see below. |

Price for 1 item? The O-ring which fits onto the base (as seen standing up in the picture): price
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Jonte, This mushroom is made from chrome-plated brass and the o rings listed need to be purchased separately. Yes you are correct - the price is for 1 item. |

Kasper
from
Denmark
asks
Hi. Will this fit to a simonelli oscar mood (2022)
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Kasper, It should fit, but best to measure your PF fins/ears - this one is 6.4 mm - the original is thicker at 6.7mm. So you may have to use a paper shim to make your PF sit at 6 o clock. |
Steve
from
United Kingdom
asks
Hi
I have cleaned and unblocked my gag is classic, the pump makes a loud noise but will not pump or drawer any water, the pump is working when connected to water supply independently so would it likely be the selanoid that needs replacing
Thanks
Steve
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Steve, A common problem with the classic is a blocked solenoid -This sounds like this is your issue. Before replacing the solenoid - try this trick - It may solve the issue. 1. Loosen both the hexagonal screws on the solenoid - approx 1/2 way (don't remove them). 2. Turn on the coffee button for 1-2 sec. 3. Check the solenoid to see if water is exiting the boiler 4. If no water escapes - the boiler group is blocked - if water escapes easily, then the solenoid is blocked and can be replaced. Unblocking the group is a separate issue. Regards Technical dept. |
Sotiris
from
Greece
asks
Is this gasket compatible with Lelit PL81T (Grace)? The size of the original gasket is 71mm x 54mm x 7.7mm.

Sue
from
Ireland
asks
Hi, I have taken my gaggia cubika down from the attic after 10+ years in storage ...the heater is heating up ..but there isn't a gig out of the pump. Don't think it's scaled up as it's not even attempting to pump.
It made one second noise on the first press of the button then nothing ..no water being drawn up to spray head or steamer. From you experience is it most likely the pump is knackered and replacing it will solve problem.
I can send pictures by email if that would help.
Kind regards
Sue
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Sue, If the group or solenoid is blocked - then this would be the symptom. There is a blockage somewhere - unlikely it's the pump, as there was some action initially. You would probably have to remove the solenoid 1st -(Allen key anticlockwise) There may be some debris in the valve or group. Try turning the pump on for 1 sec. with the solenoid back on but loose. If water spurts out of the group/solenoid - then blockage has been cleared, if not blockage still remains. Solenoid/group blockage is a very common issue with these models and is worth the trouble. |
Elise
from
Netherlands
asks
Hi,
I'm owning a Rocket Giotto Evo R model 2019, should I order the generic group ring or the PF group gasket ring?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Elise, probably the 8mm gasket should be fine for the 4-year-old model. If the portafilter should slide to 5 o clock position - you can use the paper shim. This will correct it to 6 o clock. |
Frank
from
Ireland
asks
I have a gaggua Montana LC/D 2GR. Will this group head gasket set and shower head fit
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Frank, You have a commercial machine - this is for Gaggia domestic machines such as Classic, Baby, etc., as the shower screen is different. Better get a 9mm gaggia gasket and commercial shower separate. |
Elise
from
Netherlands
asks
Thanks for the quick response.
The answer however interferes with the information provided in the description.
I will order the 8mm if this will fit though.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Elise, the 8mm should be fine - if not add the paper shim gasket. |
Idan
from
Israel
asks
Fits a new plo42temd?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Idan, It will not fit a new Anita PL042TEMD very well. The fins on this generic PF are a little thick at 6mm - PF will sit at 7 o clock instead of 6 o clock. It suits older models better. |
Shannon

Bernie
from

asks
Hi
What is the difference between this Flow control and the coffee sensor version ?

Jaume
from
France
asks
Hi there, would this a replacement for my pre millenium la pavoni?
Thank you
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Jaume, If your version has this valve already - then yes, it will fit. If you have an older machine with the Teflon valve, you need to replace the entire safety valve body in order to use new valves like this one. |
Javier

Hello! Has this valve been successfully used in a Breville Barista Express machine? Could it work to replace the stock OPV and reduce the output pressure?

asks
Dear Sir/Madam at Bluestarcoffee
I own a Francis Francis x3 and wonder if this kit will fit my espresso machine due to that I've heard that Francis Francis and Ascaso use the same 57 mm boiler?
And I wonder when you will have this kit in-stock again?
Or do you have any metal converter (the one on the left side in the picture) left laying around that I can buy from you?
Kind Regards Roger Gredsund
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Rodger, I don't think this would fit Francis - similar but different. Due back 2 weeks. |

Hi Blue Star Coffee Team,
I was hoping youd be able to help me out with understanding how postage works to the UK. This is the first time I'd be buying something outside the UK for delivery into the UK.
If I purchase the above grinder (or any grinder), are there going to be any additional customs fees etc that I need to pay or will the final price be £168.69 (or whatever the price is on checkout if I choose to add or change)?
Best regards,
Fabrizio
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Fabrizio, The price shown, when you visit from the UK, has the VAT removed. While you will have free delivery, you will have to pay UK VAT plus small duty (approx 2%). |

Hi, can this be used on a rancilio Silvia V1 as well? Looking to upgrade the steam wand.

Mathieu

The listing says that this part will need an adapter to fit Ascaso PID models prior to 2020. What is the adapter in question? Thank you

EB
from

asks
Hello, you state "*Most Delonghi portafilters have a PVC coffee disperser inside. You can remove it by unscrewing it to make the IMS basket fit...". If I do this what is the deepest IMS DL basket I can use i.e. 22E/24E/26E/32E mm?
Also, does IMS do a Big Bang 51mm basket to fit Delonghi machines, as I can't seem to find it on your website?
Thank you.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi EB, The deepest that the original PF will accept is the 26mm basket. |

asks
What is the difference between porcelain and standard mushroom?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Crylle, The main difference is no mineral build-up on the mushroom stem. Chrome-plated brass will flake over time and even stainless steel will have some magnesium or calcium buildup. Also heats up fast to help with heat stability. Once the mushroom is in place - leave it there as it can get damaged on removal. |

Dear Sir/Madam
Do you guys think this filter can be fitted on a De'Longhi EC 710, due to that you mention the the De'Longhi Icon which is I believe more or less the same machine but in a different body?
Kind Regards Roger
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Rodger, I cannot confirm, probably does fit - but check the dimensions to be sure. Shower size: 50.5 mm x Internal Diameter: 49.5 mm x Height: 9mm |
Thomas
from
United Kingdom
asks
Hi, I am interested in this product however I often make americanos and note there is no hot water outlet. Is there an easy way to get produce hot water from the machine?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Thomas, You can get hot water by switching on the water switch, water is then diverted to the steam arm - open the steam for the water. Turn off the water switch when you have enough. Alternatively, you can use the coffee group. Water will exit at coffee temp for both the steam arm and group - so you will have to heat the cup 1st. PS If this is going to the UK RM will collect 20% UK VAT + small duty (approx 2.5%) |

Jason

Hi there, I don't think this would be compatible with the Sage Bambino Plus (it mentions an inlet house) but just double checking? The machine typically takes a ClaroSwiss Water Filter. Thanks!
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Jason, The Nical 125 will fit into the tank - but your inlet hose may be slightly wider. The Nical 125 nozzle is 6mm and W40mm x H80mm - The ClaroSwiss is slightly wider and taller at 64mm x 220mm. It will do exactly the same job as the ClaroSwiss but you may have to use a clamp to hold the hose on. |
Thomas
from
United Kingdom
asks
How long will this last - is it a life time ? Do I need to replace any thing.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Thomas, The DVA manual does advise you to change either the resin or the whole softener after 5-7 years of use. We advise replacing the whole unit after 5 years as it could leak if older. |

asks
About the triple basket, and 18+ grams of dose. Will the delonghi dedica choke up? Asking for light to medium roast, mostly use a local roasters blend of 50-50 Arabica-robusta but also brew with their 100% Arabica blend sometimes and might try single origin. Currently with the stock shower screen and a non-ims bottomless basket 18 grams work fine. Plan to change to ims shower screen and this triple ims basket, which I heard needs finer grind and thus I'm wondering if my dedica might choke up.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Manos, If the grind is too fine, then it will choke, you may have to adjust the grind to correspond with the extra qty of coffee. |

I currently have a fairly cheap pitcher 500ml which seems to be about the right size. I tend to make flat whites and cappuccino. I use various cup sizes depending on the drink , they are 220ml 200ml and 375ml for the cappuccino.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Roy
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Roy, For home use - probably 500ml - 750ml is mainly for commercial use. If using 500ml for flat white that will hold up to 450ml or 500ml for frothy milk. |
João

United Kingdom
asks
Hi,
The sizes listed for this basket don’t seem to match the E&B website - for example, the H24 should be 14-16g?
I’m looking for the 16-18g H26, which is out of stock but I see the item is listed as clearance? Does this mean they will not be restocked?
Thanks
Tom
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Tom, the coffee qty is approx and depends on a few variables. Yes, this is discontinued from us - we can still get the H26, but it would be the full price. Very good value while stock lasts. |
James

asks
Would you recommend this basket for fruity and funky coffees? If not, which basket would you recommend?

Rodrigo

asks
Would it fit ascaso Basic? If it doesn't, do you have one that will? Cheers
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Yes - It fits the ground version - if you already have a shower screen this size. If you have a versatile version you would need a converter kit. |
Wadse
from
France
asks
Hello,
I am looking for a good naked portafilter for my EC685.
This one looks very good, but does the fact that the fin thickness is thinner than the original not mean that it is a looser fit that could cause leaks?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards Wadse
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Wasse, The fin size is the same as the Decica - so the fit is perfect. |
Yu

asks
Will this fit my profitec go, and if so which version is suitable?

Simon
from
Switzerland
asks
Do I understand correctly that this set is titled as "107C" because you have another set that contains a 104C brew thermostat?
Maybe you could title the two as "107C+145C" and "104C+145C" or something. I was a bit unsure at first if this set would really contain both 107C and 145C.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Simon, many thanks - we have changed the product title - thanks for your suggestion. It was not very clear. |

Can you please confirm that the gauge will not clash with the boiler when using this adapter on a Europiccola? I have ordered a very similar looking part from a different website in the past and the gauge could not screw on completely because it hit the boiler. Cheers
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | For older Europiccola made in 1980s, the gauge tends to touch the boiler, if you remove the plastic protection cover during screwing and put it back on after - it should be fine. |

Hi there, is this the OEM La Pavoni part? I believe it causes the gauge to clash with the boiler. Or is this a custom partt? Cheers

For older Europiccola made in 1980s, the gauge tends to touch the boiler, if you remove the plastic protection cover during screwing and put it back on after - it should be fine. |

Hi, will H32 fit into Joe Frex EC680 Dedica double portafilter? I did measure it on my own and it is approx. 33mm deep portafilter next to wall, so in theory it could fit H32, but if you could test it, I'd appreciate.
Additionally, which leveler would fit H32? I own 51mm leveler, but due to fact that other IMS baskets I own are conical, it cannot go deeper than a millimeter or two.

I have a post 2000 La Pavon Professional and I am looking for a double shot filter basket. There are two options for the IMS double basket. Wich one will work best with my machine? H25 or H29 ?
Many thanks
Max
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Max, The deep H29 is for naked portafilters and H25 is fine for double portafilters. If using the deep basket you may have to make the grind a little coarser. |

Hello, Can this fit the Gaggia Espresso style? It does not mention compatibility in the description.
Thanks,
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi David, I cannot confirm, if it fits the Espresso style, but it is very close in every respect. Your machine uses a pressurised system, so you would have to make the grind finer and reduce the pressure of the OPV to 9 bars to use a bottomless PF. |

Hi. I have just fitted this but not tried it yet as i am doing a service and descaling. Is the handle completely closed when it is screwed all the way down, clockwise, and fully open when screwed counter clockwise all the way up? So to use the machine normally with no flow control the handle would be screwed all the way up? Thanks.

Will this thermometer fit the Rocket Mozzafiato? It's a different machine to the Appartamento, but may use a similar E61 group head.
Thanks!
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Andrew, I think it fits all Rocket E61 groups, inc Mozzafiato. To be sure remove the group screw and measure the depth - If your e61 chamber is shorter than 16mm, the probe would be too long and would block the coffee. |

Benjamin
from

I did just receive both the double spout and bottomless portafilter for Gaggia Classic pro. Both aren’t tight enough in the group head when it’s straight so a lot of water slips through around the portafilter and group head. Both must be tightened more over to the steam wand which seem like the portafilter doesn’t fit properly. What to do?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | If PF is sitting at 5 o'clock, then you can add a paper shim to make the gasket thicker. Or replace the existing gasket - Insert " #5128 " into our search bar for silicon gasket and paper shim. |

Darren
from
United Kingdom
asks
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.....
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | 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. |

Are these thermostats suitable for Gaggia Bean to Cup Titanium? My steam and hot water are working ok - producing hot, but my brew/coffee is cold. I think I need a new thermostat.

Hi. Will this fit Gaggia Classic RI9403? My model is RI9403/18 & struggling to find shower head assembly with upgraded screen that will fit. Many thanks, Rob.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | If your version has an aluminium boiler - then it will fit. If your version has the stainless steel boiler (Gaggia Classic V2 2015 RI9403 ) - then it will not fit. If your version is produced after 2019 and has the aluminium boiler - it comes already with a stainless steel shower holder - so you will only need the screen or gasket |

David
from
United Kingdom
asks
Hi, My Gaggia Classic (bought in about year 2000) doesn’t have any water coming out of the brewhead. The wand is working fine. In the past I have resolved this by disassembling and descaling the boiler and brew head. This time I also took apart and cleaned the solenoid valve, but, it still didn’t work. Just before it stopped working there was a new clicking sound coming from the machine, which I have never had before. Please can you tell me what could be the problem/solution?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi David, The group is probably blocked by mineral deposits. When there is a build-up, it can block the solenoid after a time. You need to remove the group, separate the boiler and immerse the group in a descaling solution. Then insert a brush or thin metal into the group to remove any remaining build-up. You will need a new boiler gasket and possibly a new solenoid. |

I’ve just bought this and neither of my 51mm tampers fit properly inside the basket? Because it’s like a a slight cone, the tampers only just fit in the top then won’t push down properly? Is this a fault or do I need a 50mm tamper??
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Tom, We have tested this on our #3315 tamper and it fits - however as the basket is cone-shaped - it will not go down very far. The Joe Frex #5003 is a better fit, goes down halfway. A 50mm tamper will go all the way down but will be loose on the top. |

Hi; Do you know if the 26.5mm height basket fits in a rancilio Silvia v2 portafilter (20-112-010)?
Thanks
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Francisco, The original Rancilio basket is ridged, 21mm x 70mm x58mm. This basket is a little deeper 24/26.5mm x 70mmx60.5mm. So yes - it will fit Rancilio models. |

Hi,lovely Bluestar Team,i am a beginner in the hobby 🙂😇and i have some questions about a few products.Please help me before i make an order!
Please explane the best possible and correct way to install this VBM Pump Gauge!
I have an old Brasilia Club/Lady with single boiler. I want to install a Vibiemme OPV with all suggested fittings and this manometer!
I think i can install the OPV,but where schould be the manometer installed?
I would like to be somehow between the boiler and may be the solenoid valve...
Is that the correct place ,'cause i want to check the real pressure in the brewgroup durring extraction?
Thanks in advance
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Yani, I cannot advise you as we have no experience with this modification. It is a 1/8" fitting so some of our fittings may fit this gauge. Search "1/8 fitting" in our search bar. Maybe a T-fitting + Elbow fitting? |

Hi - I’m needing to replace a CEME 3-way v393vn25paif in a sage BNE600 - would this item (v397vn25paif) be cross-compatible?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Ollie, they are similar, both are 0.1-2 bars, but this valve has a 1/8 " fitting, yours has a push-on/clip PVC fitting. You may be able to replace the PVC fitting with our Fitting 1/8F x 1/8F + Push fitting 1/8 x 4mm. Not certain, it would be your risk - but probably would fit. |
Timur

Canada
asks
Hey guys, does that solenoid should be replaced on Ascaso Dream PID (2018) if the over-pressure during manual back-flushing drops down only after manually opening of hot water faucet? It also doesn't give me the chance to adjust the pressure spring which that machine can do. Thank you
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Timur, - If this valve failed, you would have no coffee. - The pressure will drop if you open the water tap on the Uno and dream PID. - The OPV is controlled by the internal spring, which is adjusted by turning the screw. |

Hello,toying with The idea if fitting this to a rancilio Silvia.
Would it be close? Changing pipe thread sizez would not be a problem.
Thanks

Obigraf
from
Ireland
asks
Hi, That pipe exploded on my machine. I have no steam leaks or escapes, but as soon as I switch on the steam switch (the one on left) pulsating noises and vibrations appear and if I don't release the steam valve (even though steam is not ready) pipe bursts. I got the kit from you before, all is replaced but I don't use the steam.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Obigraf, I could not find your order, but it should not do that. I suspect that the nut-holding the PTFE pipe is not fully tightened. Steam should cause the pulsating, this is normal. In any case we have spare pipes. Contact customerservice@bluestarcoffee.eu , if you need one . |

asks
This portafiler match to fit Ims and la marzocco single baskets (7-9 grams)?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Ido, using our search bar search for "ims competition 68 filter basket" at 68mm it is a better fit than the Marzocco for most Gaggia groups. |
Tomasz
from
Poland
asks
Is this for 41 or 58 mm tamper?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Tomasz, this takes up to 58.5mm tampers.You could use a 41mm but it would only hold 7g or less - use 58mm and you can go to 12 grams. |

Hello,
I have a La Pavoni Professional that was built in April of 1999 that I am currently rebuilding. It did not come with a portafilter. Do you happen to know if this particular one would work for my machine? Thank you so much,
Justin
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Juston, Models made 2000 and after had a 54mm group and came with (search for) "La Pavoni Piston Sleeve" Older models did not have this insulating sleeve and the group was 52mm. |

asks
will this fit gaggia classic pro with ims ga200
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Aleef, No. This shower screen holder will not fit the IMS shower screen, as the IMS shower screen has an indent, and as a result, water will come out of the sides of the shower screen. You need "Classic Shower Holder IMS" |

Luan

asks
Hello, what size gasket would i need for the conti cc102 please?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Luan, It probably does fit the CC102, as it fits the CC101. Our generic is 8.5mm or 9mm and the original is 8.3mm, so if the machine is less than 2/3 years old- it could be a little tight |

Tim
from
United Kingdom
asks
Hi, I’m new to the La Pavoni Europiccola. I bought an almost new one on eBay. I have used other peoples. I’m guessing I need new gaskets/seals as when I lift the lever the water pours through the portafilter and no pressure when you pull down on the leaver. Do you think this gasket kit is what I need. Big thanks. Tim
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Tim, Probably group gasket or piston gasket is the issue - We have all the group gaskets in the best-selling standard kit - insert " Pavoni Group Service Kit " into our search bar. |

Hello, is this product different from the other OPV spring set for Gaggia Classic that you also sell on your website, and which of them should I choose for my Gaggia Classic E24? Thank you.

Wendi
from
United Kingdom
asks
Hiya, will this fit the Micra?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Wendi, probably does fit - the Micra is 6.5mm while this is 6 1/8mm in thickness. You may need a Paper Shim Gasket 72mm to make it thicker. |
Ido
from
United Kingdom
asks
Will it fit a gaggia portafilter?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Ido, this is 70mm wide and Gaggia is 68mm, so while it will fit the portafilter it may get stuck in the group - depending on the model. Search using our search bar for "ims 68" - for a better-fitting basket. or copy paste https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/en/IMS-Competition-68-Filter-Basket/m-3424.aspx |
Imran
from
United Kingdom
asks
Would this kit work for a Victoria Arduino Neuvo Simonelli mythos one plus grinder. I think it’s the same spec as the Eureka method one plus?
If so I’ll buy it
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Imran, The mignon hopper base is 41.7mm wide x 17mm deep. Compare that with your hopper base. We don't have the Mythos dimensions. The bean trap will be an issue, even if the base funnels are the same. |
Artūras

asks
Hi, maybe you have steam wand which fits bezzera hobby and is similar to this one, because on old hobby there is very uncomfortable one. Thank you.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Artūras, This will not fit Hobby,that model uses a wand with 2 o rings , to make the seal - this would leak. We don't have that steam wand. |
Wim

Mary
from
United Kingdom
asks
Which disc is better for my Breville express ? Hole or no hole ? Thanks.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Mary, The disc with a hole uses cleaning tablets to backflush the group and when the tablet melts it cleans both the filter basket and portafilter. The disc with no hole can be used with both tablets or powder - but will only back flush. |
Rita
from
Switzerland
asks
Is the tamper self-leveling? Many dynamometric tampers have the problem, that the tamper-achse with the spring can move a little bit inside the handle, so there ist 2-3° skew tamping.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Rita, When you press the handle down the level disc prevents it from going further - once the tamper base touches the portafilter it cannot be skewed. Therefore you get a level tamp. See " #3366 " with a thick base for skew-free tamping. |
MOTOO

Nguyen
from
Vietnam
asks
Hello there! Happy and returning customer here.
Good thing I held out on the Coffee Sensor flow control device, that now I am offered a cheaper and seemingly better choice.
Just a small question: your product page says "Options: Upgrade to walnut knob - see below." However I didn't see any button to add the walnut knob in the same page.
Is it the same Coffee Sensor walnut knob (ID: 2431) sold separately, or Blue Star Coffee will eventually add a self-branded knob?
Best regards,
-Nguyen from Vietnam
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Nguyen, The walnut knob is E61 Walnut Lever Round Handle M8 Brass - we have added a link now on the page. |

Hello - My machine is Gaggia Classic 2015 RI9403/18. Which ims shower screen will fit? Thanks, David
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi David, - Gaggia classic V2 with non-removable shower screen holder and steel boiler uses this one Ci200IM. - Gaggia Classic pre-2015 - you will need an IMS kit or IMS shower holder below. (The pro has an indent preventing the IMS shower from sitting flat). |
Apostolos
from
Greece
asks
i am looking for a bottomless portafilter suitable for a gran gaggia prestige (54mm)
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | HI Apostolos, We don't have a bottomless PF suitable for Gran Gaggia models. They are not made as that model was designed for pressurized portafilters and extract at a higher pump pressure as a result. You will need to get a new coffee machine if you want to use a bottomless portafilter. |
Plamen
from
United States
asks
Hi there, wanted to ask what the inside depths of the two portafilters are: Lelit PLA58 Walnut Naked Portafilter and Quickmill Naked Portafilter Walnut E61

asks
Hi,
Is the 16/18 basket suitable for 18 grams of coffee,or is gonna be hard to place all of it inside?Is the 18/20 the better choice for me if I want to use 18 grams of coffee?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Giannis, The quantity of coffee that fits into the basket is approximate and depends on how fine the grind is and the type of coffee used. The 16/18g H26 Double will probably fit 18g - measure the height of the existing basket to be sure - this one is 26mm in height. |
Laurence
from
United Kingdom
asks
Hi will this fit a gaggia classic 2006 model?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Laurence, This will not fit a 2006 classic, you would need the DeLonghi or Gaggia steam wands. This uses a female nut, the Gaggia uses a male fitting. |
Athena

I’m looking to repair the end of some Teflon tubing from my Sage espresso machine.
Will this attachment fit on the end of the Sage Oracle steam boiler to coffee boiler cable with the nun compression fitting?
I have a picture of this would help.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Lee, Sorry for the delay. This is the Ulka pump fitting for 4/6mm Teflon pipes - and is 1/8'' thread. I don't know what fittings the sage uses - but it would be close. I suggest that you measure your pipe - if you can. Regards Gerald Technical services. |

| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Erin, The IMS Pavoni has a deeper basket - B602th Height 29mm - 4 mm taller than this stock basket. Check that your portafilter will accept deeper basket. |

Sean
from
Australia
asks
Hi folks - I bought the Gaggia Naked Portafilter Walnut - but within a few weeks the handle started to spin. Is there a way to tighten it? It’s almost unusable currently. Thanks
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Sean, The handles on these are not glued, as some people prefer to swap handles. If it is still loose after tightening the handle, add PFTE tape or sellotape to the thread, which will prevent it from moving. Let us know if this does not work for you. |

Anu
from
Switzerland
asks
Dear Blue star coffee, I've recently received this Quickmill pulsor and tried to assemble it. The pulsor seems to screw in too deep or misses about 15mm of clearance in the Ulka pump's neck. I have tried with both EX5 and EP5. Both times the Quickmill pulsor broke the pump valve piece on the inside and the pump valve gets stuck. Are you perhaps familiar with the clearance issue and know how I could solve it? Thank you!
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Anu, The thread is too long and does not go all the way into the EX5/EP5. You will need to use PTFE tape to make the seal. Regards, Gerald, Technical Dept. |
Mark Gormley
from
Ireland
asks
What is the difference between the Motta leveler and this palm tamper?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | The leveler is used to distribute the grounds and iron out pockets of air - tamping alone will not do this. This palm tamper rests on the portafilter edge, so you cannot get an uneven tamp. |
Raul
from
Spain
asks
Hello, I was wondering if the IMS basket will fit in this portafilter - 29 mm height
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | This portafilter is tapered at the base - so it will not take the deep H29 IMS basket. |

Demitris

Does the 41 tamper fit ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | The 41mm tamper does not go fully into the conic chamber, like the Marzocco filter basket. Better to use the 58.5mm tamper. |
Trevor Smithe
from
United States
asks
What is the difference between this and the ascaso double basket?

What is the difference between this Dream and the old Dream ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | The older version had a 57mm portafilter - this uses a 58mm commercial size. It uses a thermoblock for endless steam and the boiler does not wear out or needs replacement gaskets. Also uses a commercial steam wand and a pump pressure gauge. |
Shelia
from

asks
I have a water pipe made from polished aluminium for tea on my machine - is it ok to use this to remove the lime buildup ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | No - If you immerse the aluminium in any acid - it will tarnish and go grey. Use window cleaner to clean polished aluminium. |
Gerry
from

What is the difference between this stock basket and the IMS or ascaso baskets ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | The stock basket is 24mm in height - ascaso 23mm, IMS is 22mm However ascaso can take almost 18 grams and IMS 12/14 and 14/16g ascaso has more holes with smaller perforations than IMS or stock basket. = more crema and dryer puck. |

I want the white scale version.
Also I am worried that the adjustment is not smooth. Can you please comment on this?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Lenoid, This comes with the coffee sensor black gauge as standard. The adjustment should be smooth as the inside the FC, is a pin that is moved by turning the lever - see customer reviews for more info. |
Rita
from
Switzerland
asks
Sorry for my questions, but could you please make a video, how to use it exactly? How can I put the collar on the basket if the level disc stands out so far? There is a big distance between the collar and the level disc, that’swhy the level disc presses the coffee ground before the collar reaches the basket.
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Rita, When you press the tamper down - the tamper base will lower down to the basket and the level disc sits on the basket - the tamper cannot be skewed. A level tamp will ensure a total extraction. |
Michele
from
Switzerland
asks
Hello,
I see that your kit is compatible for the Lelit Mara X (according to your list) but you answer to James from Iceland is that it will probably not fit ??
So, is it ok with Lelit Mara X ?
| Blue Star Coffee Replies: | Hi Michele, It should fit - we had no feedback at the time, but I understand that it does fit the Mara X. |
