Amazingly it does work. I'm used to having to really wedge the portafilter in hard to get a good seal, but it seems even when it feels 'loose' it's actually pretty well sealed.
How do I know? Pulled off a shot and put the steamer on - absent-mindedly forgetting to take off the portafilter, which is what you're supposed to do before frothing. Went to take off the portafilter, sound like a gun went off, portafilter flies out of my hand, coffee grounds all over the kitchen.
I think the seal's good...
