hi all...the handle on the portafilter on our classic has just snapped off...i've been toying for a while while upgrading to a bottomless portafilter after loving the impact the recommended silvia wand had on my steaming, but can't now remember which one was recommended as being the best option (seem to remember is was a copper one with a wooden handle from happy donkey?). apologies for not looking through the last 182 page to find out. i'm now up for getting my hands dirty and playing with the pressure setting, etc if I have to in order to take things to the next level. i don't and won't be grinding my own beans...though i will buy small quantities of freshly ground stuff regularly. looking back a few pages there was a question about how although a pic of this beautiful single stream of crema goodness dropping from a bottomless portafilter looked great as an aspiration, in reality it was difficult to achieve (comments re. bean grind, channeling, etc). is there an option for the classic that is relatively non-tampremental (see what i did there ;) ?). appreciate any comments...if anyone had any links to the best how-to vids for pressure modifications i'd also be grateful...cheers
