Portafilter Spring - 1.2 mm

Portafilter Spring - 1.2 mm

A thicker, 1.2 mm diameter portafilter spring used to secure basket into the portafilter body. Better suited to manufacturers like Astoria and Gaggia, whose milled spring channel runs wider than most other brands.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Wire diameter: 1.2 mm

COMPATIBILITY

• Works with: ridgeless portafilter baskets on brands with a wider milled spring channel, such as Astoria and Gaggia

INSTALLATION

Simple DIY replacement, pry the old spring out and press the new one into the milled channel.

PRO TIPS

• If a standard 1.0 mm spring keeps popping out of its groove instead of holding tension, your portafilter likely has a wider milled channel, step up to this 1.2 mm spring rather than fighting one that's too thin for the pocket.
