John from Ireland asks

Why use a Dynamometric Pressurised Tamper?

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.

Gerry from United States asks

Can I use a VST basket with this?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Yes - this accepts IMS, E&B, Barista Pro and VST baskets - ridged and unridged.

Bruce from United States asks

Will this fit my 110V gaggia classic ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Yes - This fits both 230V and 110V models.

Andrea from Italy asks

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.

Mario from Luxembourg asks

Hi, Does it fit on the Lelit PL162T v3 coffee machine? Grazie,

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

This will fit on the Lelit Bianca PL162T, It is an E61 shower so fits any E61 group.

Tom Darcy from Ireland asks

Hi, Can you use these with portafilters ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Yes, You can use these papers with 57/58mm portafilters - like a puck screen. It prevents the shower screen getting dirty and helps with channelling.

Solon from Cyprus asks

Hello. Are these the 233M or the 033M burrs Thank you Solon

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi, These are new for 2023 and are now 233M

Josip from 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.

Pascal from Switzerland asks

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 from Ireland asks

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 from Netherlands asks

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.

Phillip Smith from Canada asks

Will a 57.4mm tamper fit this ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Our precision tamper is 57.4mm and is too wide for this 57.3mm basket. The ascaso 57mm is a good fit, as is our 57mm tamper

Alex from United Kingdom asks

Hi, will it fit 57mm Ascaso competition basket AND under integrated Lelit Anita grinder?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi, Yes, It fits all 57mm baskets Inc the ascaso competition basket. I don't know if it fits under the integrated grinder - probably not.

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.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Peyton, No this one won't fit you would need the deeper shower screen. Search Bezzera Shower Screen 58mm using our search bar.

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Plamen, The quick mill is deeper at 28mm - comes with 21g basket and the Lelit is 25.5mm - comes with a 14/16g La marzocco style basket.

Adam from Poland asks

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Adam, If your model has the aluminum shower holder then the kit will fit. The new professional models already come with this stainless steel shower holder, so you will only need the shower.

Karen from United Kingdom asks

Hello I have a Eureka Mignon MKII; will this single dose hopper fit that please? 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.

Martin from Finland asks

Will this fit the Rancilio Silvia stock double spout portafilter?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Martin, Yes, it will. It fits any portafilter with a 3/8" thread - almost all commercial portafilters.

Tim from Australia asks

Do you also sell the Lelit 57mm triple basket (L140041)?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Tim, I am afraid not at present - but we have ascaso i.280 - holds 18g and IMS Lelit Double Basket B642Th 14-17g

Dejan from Croatia asks

I want to know the size of the bottom circle? And does it fits ti grinder Expobar Pulse 65 HS? Thanks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Dejan, The bottom circle is 42mm wide outside x 17mm in height, (the same as the other Mignon hoppers). Don't know if it fits other models - check the dimensions to be sure.

Kamil from Germany asks

Hi, 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. Regards Kamil

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Kamil, This button will not fit the PID panel - you would need the i.4364 (approx 17.00 each) We can order for you - 3/4 weeks.

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

Luke from United Kingdom asks

Are these the filters made in the original Japanese factory without tabs?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Luke, These are made in Japan and are untabbed.

Julian from Germany asks

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.

Patrick from United Kingdom asks

Hi, will this solenoid fit the Sage Bambino Plus machine? MODEL. SES500BSS

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi, We cannot confirm if this will fit or not. Check if your valve is the 588 type and 2 way, if it is, then yes it would fit the Bambino.

John from United Kingdom asks

Hi there will this fit my la Pavoni professional/a model Hope u can help I have pics too Best wishes john

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi John, This will fit all Pavon lever models made after 2000, including the professional.

Martin from Finland 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 from Netherlands asks

Hi there, 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.

Mehmed from United Kingdom asks

HI what is the size of the top circle of the hopper?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Mehmed, the funnel is 14cm in height and the lid is 17cm wide, tallet and wider than the stock funnel.

luigi from United Kingdom asks

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 asks

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 from United Kingdom asks

Its hard to tell in the photo and i can find if you state it anywhere, but are these bleached or unbleached?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Lucian, There are bleached white, untabbed, and made in Japan. Also available unbleached in 100's pack - see below.

ESG from Sweden asks

What does "Models with 2 fins" mean?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi ESG, The fins are the ears that hold the portafilter in place. Most portafilters have 2 some have three

keith from Ireland asks

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.

Andrew from United Kingdom asks

Will this fit my sage/Breville 58mm naked portafilter

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

HI Andrew, Yes It will fit The 70mm fits Breville: Oracle BES980 Breville: Oracle touch SES990BSS2G Breville: Duel boiler BES920, BES900

Diyar Amin from Netherlands asks

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

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 United Kingdom 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.

D.A. from Netherlands asks

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, D.A.

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.

Konstantin from Latvia asks

Hello, the system dont allow me to order this machine, ascaso dream one - so disappointing. is it a bug, or its just a trade barier special for my country? anything can be done?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Konstan, That was a bug - thank you for pointing that out. We have fixed that now. Many thanks for your help. Regards Gerald Customer service

Devon from Canada asks

Hello, I've signed up for the "Back in Stock" alert (Ascaso 57mm bottomless portafilter) but just curious if you have any idea when that would be. Apologies for the annoying inquiry, but I would prefer to purchase from you if possible. Cheers, Devon

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Devon, sorry for the delay approx 3/4 weeks to restock the black handle version.

Adam from Ireland asks

Would this fit Sage 54mm portafilter?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Adam, I don't think it would fit. Try the generic Sage/ Breville basket for a better fit. https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/en/SageBreville-Filter-Basket/m-5586.aspx

Tom from Canada asks

What size are the holes?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Tom, Hole size is 1mm x 4 holes

Hello, Is Universal 4 Hole Steam Nozzle M9 compatible with profitec pro 600 machines?

Majid from United States asks

Mark from Bulgaria asks

Hello, I cannot understand if this portafilter will fit Dedica models EC685? Thank you

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Mark, This won't Dedica models, you would need this one: https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/en/Joe-Frex-Ec680-Dedica-Bottomless-Portafilter/m-5482.aspx

Ramiro from Portugal asks

Hello, is the smaller filter suitable for Delonghi Dedica, or do you recommend using a larger filter? Thanks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Ramiro, This fits the Delonghi Dedica, the large deep basket is suitable for bottomless portafilters and the smaller double baskets are suitable for double portafilters.

Gavin from United Kingdom asks

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.

John from United States asks

What is the thickness in mm of the fins on the side?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi John, the fins are 7mm thick x 25mm length

Sarit from Israel asks

Can you send it to Israel? Or to Italy?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Sarit, We can send it to both Italy and Israel. Choose the delivery address at checkout. 23% EU vat is deducted if sent outside the EU.

James from United Kingdom asks

Do you sell a portafilter for the gaggia cubika, I can't find one anywhere! Thanks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi James, The Cubika is PF is no longer manufactured. As far as we can tell our Classic range of PF should fit. The only difference is the spout.

Josef from Malta asks

How long is the initial heating time so that one could start brewing coffee?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Josef, the machine heats up in 90 sec and an additional 2.5 min for steam. Its fast heating is due to the single thermoblock.

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.

Gregory from United States asks

can you confirm this fits PTFE tube outer diameter 4mm and has a BSP 1/8" thread?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Gregory, It is ‎European standard BSP, for the ø 4x2,5 mm PTFE pipe and 1/8" thread.

Santiago from Chile asks

Hi, do you think it will fit a Nemox - Dell'Opera ? (2017). I'm using an Ascaso Competition Fileter 14Gr H23 on the stock pf, if that helps.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Santiago, It might fit - they are very similar. Measure the fins to make sure. This one is: Width including fins: 72.4mm x Width without fins: 64mm Fins: 6mm deep x 22mm wide

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 Ireland asks

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.

Tom from United States asks

Will this work on the original Simonelli Oscar? Mine is 10 years old. Thanks, Tom B

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Tom, It fits on any vibration pump. It's a tight fit for Oscar - but fits - see the Reddit review on this page.

Cang Le from United States asks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Cang Le, It should fit your model as it fits most Rocket models.

Cang from United States asks

Can this be used for Rocket Cellini Revoluzione?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Cang, It probably does fit - but cannot be certain.

Cang from United States asks

Will this fit Rocket Cellini Evoluzione ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Cang, probably does but cannot be certain.

Irina from Ireland asks

Hi,would this basket fit SMEG ECF01? Thank you

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Irina, I think that it does fit - as IMS state it fits SMEG, and as far as I can tell they only have 1 51mm model. Check our portafilter depth as we have 4 heights. Dimensions: Edge D.61.5mm, Inside D.51.5mm Body 52.5mm

Steven from United Kingdom asks

Hi Steven, We have sent a PayPal request for 3.21€

James from United Kingdom asks

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.

Chris from United Kingdom asks

Hello. Will these burrs fit my Eureka MCI its about ten years old. the modelnumber is EMG50E24G20A00000052 I know it takes 50mm burs, but I just wondered if these 'Flat' ones wil fit. Thank you.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Chris, This fits the Eureka MCI

Vojtech from Czech Republic asks

Hi, I have been looking to upgrade my Rancilio Silvia steam wand to a cold touch one, so that I wouldn't get the milk caked on. Going by the description this one seems like it should fit, but is going to be about 2cm longer? Is that the case or am I missing some important detail? Thanks!

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Vojtech, I cannot confirm if it will fit or not, but the dimensions are the same for our generic steam wand - see Rancilio Silvia Steaming Wand V3. No problem to return if it does not fit.

Maxime from Switzerland asks

In your description, there is a star '*' next to silvia all models compatibility. Anything to pay attention to with using this new portafilter with silvia or is it fully compatible?

Viktoriia from Czech Republic asks

Hello, I would like to ask about the filter's recyclation. We have this filter used at our office but dont know what to do wit it. Please advise. Thank you, Viktoriia

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 from 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.

Catherine Barlow from United States asks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Catherine, Yes - fits Ascaso Steel Uno PID

Raymond from Singapore asks

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.

Tristan from Singapore asks

Is this suitable for use on Ascasco machines?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Yes - it is suitable for Ascaso machines and all brands as well. It contains food-safe Citric acid. Safe to use on aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.

Alex from Malaysia asks

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.

Jeff from United Kingdom asks

Hi there, when will this item be back in stock?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Jeff, due back in 2 weeks - available for pre-order.

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 France 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.

Ronan from Ireland asks

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.

Keanu from United Kingdom asks

Are you getting more in stock?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Keanu, This is due back in 2 weeks.

Jonte from Sweden asks

I dont understand what is stainless steel in this item? The stalk itself? 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.

Dhinesh from Singapore asks

Hi do you ship the Ascaso Steel duo pid to Singapore?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Dhinesh, We don't ship machines outside the EU. You would need to source locally so the warranty can be serviced.

Bogdan from Romania asks

Are these fresh roasted coffee beans? I wish you had roast dates on site. Is there a selection of coffees I can buy with roast dates?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Bogdan, These were roasted 3 months ago and have a sell-by date of 2 years. Our coffee is usually 1-2 months after roasting.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Stephen from United Kingdom asks

When will this item be available

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

This is due back by the end of July - we will send you a back-in-stock email.

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.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Sotiris, won't fit Lelit Grace- this one is MC752-6 LELIT 73x57x8 mm. Unfortunately, we don't supply the grace gasket.

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 from Ireland asks

Hi. Does the product work for storage of ground coffee, as well as beans? Or only beans? Thanks very much.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Shannon, Suits ground coffee and beans or anything that can oxidize when exposed to the air.

Craig Comiskey from Ireland asks

These this fit the cafe racer?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Craig, Not certain if it fits that model, probably does, best to check the fin thickness of the SM cafe Racer - this one is 5.7mm thick.

brendon from Australia asks

Would you happen to know if an Ascaso 57mm portafilter handle fit into a Lelit Anita Espresso Machine?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Brendon, This will not fit Lelit machines. Search for Lelit 57mm Portafilter Double - this will fit your model.

Bernie from United Kingdom asks

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Bernie, The Coffee Sensor E61 Flow Control is made from Stainless steel and uses a smaller knob and a black gauge. Our flow control is made from chrome-plated brass, uses a larger knob, and has a white-faced gauge.

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 from Mexico asks

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?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Javier, I don't know, we would only get this feedback from reviews. Usually, it will reduce by 1-2 bars maximum. See this link from a Reddit user who has success with this OPV https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/ot08ba/breville_sage_barista_express_opv_upgrade/

Jon from United States asks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

MOTOO from Japan asks

Is this product heat-resistant tempered glass?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Roger Gredsund from Sweden 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.

Tom from New Zealand asks

Hi, what is the difference between this one and a gagga classic one.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Fabrizio Maraschin from United Kingdom asks

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%).

Arne from Germany asks

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Arne, This will not fit V1 V2 Silvia as it has a ball socket fitting that needs a spring/socket and gasket. Search '#3054' - this will fit V1V2 Silvia.

Ioannis from Greece asks

Hi there! Will you be stocking the B68 variety for Gaggia machines, the 2014 Classic in particular? Thanks!

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Ioannis, IMS makes 2 baskets in the Big Bang range - 70mm and 62.5mm. This 70mm will fit Gaggia models, as the other IMS 70mm models fit Gaggia.

Mathieu from Canada asks

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Mathieu, You would need a kit PM.500 OPV STEEL ASSEMBLY - we don't carry that kit.

EB from United Kingdom 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.

James from Iceland asks

Will it fix a Lelit Mara X?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi James, We don't have any feedback on this fitting Lelit Mara, so cannot say. My best guess is no, probably won't fit. Lelit has its own flow control kit.

Nathan Gray from United Kingdom asks

Does this fit the older Lelit Anna steam wand with the tip that has male threads or the newer tip with female threads?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Nathan, this o ring fits on the top of the steam wand going into the brass steam valve. See image

Hi Dean, this will fit Gaggia G105.

cyrille from Hong Kong 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.

Roger from Sweden asks

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%)

Se from Poland asks

Hello. I want to buy it for Lelit Glenda. Does it fit regular VST 18g basket?

Jason from Denmark asks

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.

Mark from United States asks

Manos from Greece 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.

Manuel from United Kingdom asks

Berke from Turkey asks

Looking at the flow control device, in the installation guide you mention that an 12"x 1.5" adjustable wrench is needed to do the installation. Is this different than classic 12" wrenches? Can you also please mention how wide the wrench exactly needs to go to do the installation in milimeter measures?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Berke, the Chrome nut is 36mm (1.4" inches) most wrenches will fit. A 12" wrench has length to make removal easy.

Octavian from Romania asks

Fits current Lelit Anna pl41tem espresso machine?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Octavian, Yes this will fit Anna PL41TEM. However, it does not fit quite as well with our generic portafilters, as our fins are thinner. If you want to use this competition with a generic Lelit portafilter you will need to make your gasket thicker using Paper Shim Gasket 0.5mm.

Hi, I'm interested in repacing the shower screen, Im not sure which will fit better for my e61 machine. The Matrix screen or ims competition. Could you advise please?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Dor, E61 groups have push-on shower screens - so both the Matrix and IMS E61 shower screens will fit. The Matrix acts like a second coffee puck screen, slows the extraction, and can drop the coffee extraction temperature as well.

Roy from United Kingdom asks

Hi I am a home barista thinking of buying the Motta europa but don't know which size will be best for me. 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.

Tom Finch from 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 from United Kingdom asks

Just purchased a few of these. Very good for price. Just curious, do you know if I could use these for freezer storage?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi James, Probably fine for the freezer - but the freezer option is not listed with coffeevac.

Meric from Germany asks

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Meric, That is a personal taste - these are designed for bottomless portafilters - and help with channeling. I would expect these to only hanse the flavors.

Rodrigo from New Zealand 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 from Japan asks

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

I have a BFC Classica 2 group machine. The head gasket is wrapped around the screen. Is this the head gasket I need? Your description says remove screen by removing the screw. My screen doesn’t have a screw the screen and head gasket slides over and into the machine. Please let me know if this is what I need or something else. I also have a Viper espresso machine from Italy and I do not know the size head gasket I need can you help with this one as well please?

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.

Campbell from United Kingdom asks

Does this work with the La Marzocco Micra? Thanks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Cambell, I cannot confirm - but probably does fit the Mirra as it fits all the other models.

Tim from United Kingdom asks

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

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Tim, this is an aftermarket nut - not the original Pavoni. It was designed for the larger 1.6L 16-cup Professional and Stradivari models. 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 I purchased matrix shower screen from you..it is great and amazing. Currently I am using with paper filters to reduce the cleaning process. Can I use metal puck screen? Can it damage the shower screen?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Tommy, Using paper filters would be better. However, if using a puck screen, use a thin one - a thick one will decrease the qty of coffee in the basket, slow the extraction, and drop the temperature of the coffee.

Nataniel from Singapore asks

Does this fit r58 v1 model? or do you have any steam pipe that does?

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.

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.

Iain from United Kingdom asks

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?

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 Denmark asks

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.

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.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Alex, The SS PF is an E61 type so 2mm thicker fins, it has a deeper 18/21g basket and the body is made from Stainless steel. Would not be a good for a new Lelit model as PF would sit at 5 o Clock.

Tom Fisher from United Kingdom asks

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.

Nick from Germany asks

Hi, I own a Elektra Nivola and I want to know, whether this filter basket fits. My tamper is a 57mm Model, my actual filter is 64mm wide and 22mm high, so I think it would match. Can you please confirm? Kind regards Nick

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Nick, It may fit, as the dimensions are very close, but I cannot say for certain. No problem to return if it does not fit: Height 20.8 mm | Width edge 64.2mm | Internal width 57.3 mm

Yani Yanakiev from Bulgaria asks

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?

Ollie from United Kingdom asks

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 from 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.

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 .

Daniels from Latvia asks

Hi, the 3-way solenoid comes with no o-ring. Barista Express 3-way solenoid has a black o-ring which seems slightly different from red o-rings. So for everyone wondering make sure to keep an old one or contact bluestarcoffee to be certain red one fits

Marcos from Spain asks

Good morning. I have a La Cimbali Domus Classic coffee machine and I would like to know if this filter holder is compatible with it and why (I know that the product description says it is not compatible) but I am interested in knowing why. Do you have any filter holders that are compatible with this coffee machine model? Thank you very much.

Why is this not reccomended for finer grinds?

How is the quality of the included basket on this one?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Steffen, It is a standard SS stock basket. The "IMS Competition Delonghi basket" is a much better basket.

Hi, I puchased a quickmill Vibration Pump pulsor for my Victoria Lelit and have a question about the installation. My machine as an OPV adjustment and a selfstarting pump valve. Should I put the vibration pump between those element or after the POV adjustment valve? My machine as an OPV adjustment and a selfstarting pump valve. Should I put the vibration pump between those element or after the POV adjustment valve?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Good question ! Probably insert the OPV 1st, on the pump an then install the pulsar after the OPV. That way real pressure is adjusted 1st and vibrations smoothed after.

George from Sweden asks

What's the actual pressure range? Description says 0-16 bar, while on the pictures it's 0-12 bar

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi George, well spotted it only goes to 12 bars. Using out search bar - insert "blue star coffee portafilter pressure gauge" - the small gauge goes to 16 bars.

Hi, I just wanted to confirm that this gasket will fit the Francis Francis X1 first generation espresso machine with aluminum boiler. The same product number on the Illy website says it only fits brass boiler machines (same at cerinicoffee.com). My old gasket measures rougly 66 mm outer diameter, 53 mm inner diameter, and 4 mm thick. If you have the gasket for the first gen X1 aluminum boiler machine, I will buy some immediately! Thank you

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Andrew, It seems that this gasket will be 4mm to wide for your model, as it is 70 x 53 x 4 mm. Could be trimmed..?

Evan from Spain asks

What is the diameter of the lid and the inner dimension of the bellows. I am trying to figure out if it will fit my Lelit Fred.

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.

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.

Ido from United Kingdom asks

Will it fit a gaggia portafilter?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

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 from Lithuania 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.

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.

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

Hi Nguyen, The walnut knob is E61 Walnut Lever Round Handle M8 Brass - we have added a link now on the page.

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.

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 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.

Lasse from Denmark asks

I would like this item but will ideally need a gold M12 nut for it (for my La P Prof Post Mill?)

James from Ireland asks

Can this be used to descaler a gaggia berrea machine as I see the normal one is discontinued Thanks

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi James, Yes - this is suitable for Gaggia & Saeco machines. It contains the same ingredient - citric acid.

Artur from Ireland asks

I was wondering if this part will fit Gaggia Classic RI8161/40? It is a 2012 model. Thank you!

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Artur, Yes it fits your model as well.

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.

Laurent from France asks

Hello ! May you indicate me if the two copper pipes are included with the manometer ? Thank you.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Laurent, This ascaso gauge does not include the copper pipes. It has 2 brass thread inlets at the back of the gauge which attaches to the copper pipes.

Gerald from Sweden asks

Can you use this to remove the screen inside my coffee group? I have a Rocket Giotto.

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi, Yes - this is ideal for removing the E61 shower screen - Insert the crowbar upside down and wedge the shower screen-free.

John from United Kingdom asks

Can you remove the handle ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Yes - The handle is not glued. Both handle and removable screw can be removed.

Tom from Canada asks

Will this damage my aluminium boiler ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

This acid is made from citric which is fine to use on aluminium, so long as contact time is limited to max 25 min.

Kostas from Greece asks

Will this basket take 18g?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

This can take up to 18g - 19g at a push.Depends on the grind settings and coffee used.

Demitris from Greece asks

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?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

The ascaso basket i.280 is 1mm taller, so slightly more capicity and has more holes with smaller perforations than IMS = more crema and dryer puck.

Toby Kingston from United Kingdom asks

Will this fit my leilt anna ?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

This will fit all Lelit models: 57mm & 58mm inc Lelit Anna.

Horst Schlagg from Netherlands asks

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 Australia 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 Ireland asks

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.

Eugene from Poland asks

What is the weight of this portafilter?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Stelios from Greece asks

Hello! Would this fit for BFC Junior Plus, as an e61 group model also?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Stelios, It may fit the BFC, as the generic ones do - check your height to make sure, If it is 80mm top to base - then it should fit. See below or search #5396 for the generic version.

Kevin from Denmark asks

What is the measurement for the nozzle thread?

Blue Star Coffee Replies:

Hi Kevin, the thread is 3/8''

Leonid from United States asks

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.
