Isn't it basically a Gaggia-badged La Pavoni? Shouldn't be too tricky to pick up a bottomless portafilter for one of those. Though probably best to check if it is the same as a Europiccola, which version it's the same as (pre or post-millennium). The one I picked up is out of stock (and post-millennium so probably wouldn't have fitted anyway): https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/en/La-Pavoni-Lever-Bottomless-Portafilter-Black-Handle-New-Group---2953010/m-2157.aspx
I've bought from these guys before and they were pretty decent, couple of pre-millennium offerings here:

I got mine from here as I found the angled spouts infuriating. Would recommend.

https://coffee-sensor.com/product/la-pavoni-bottomless-portafilter-black-handle-old-gen-pre-mill-2953015-1165263/Yes - Gaggia Factory 105 I think it is (the larger capacity one with the pressure-stat).
I'm a bit cautious because when I look for these things it seems essential to know if your machine is pre or post millennium - and I don't, and don't know how to tell.

Grinder has gone to a new home - hopefully it will acquit itself well.
I think I'd quite like to try a bottomless portafilter, but I am buggered if I can find one for my machine - anyone been down this road before me and can comment?
