New PF Handles
New PF Handles
The Mini Vivaldi now has new chrome end handles (hey...they took my suggestion!)
Now I just need the chrome front drip tray. (They can ditch the BBQ brush to recoupe the added cost. )

New PF Handles
Any chance to obtain them in Germany? Like the look.slo wrote:And where can such a handle be procured?
Re: New PF Handles
I got the info and picture off the Chris Coffee Facebook page.
I would assume they'll soon be selling the new PF's but I don't know if they will be selling just the handle, seperately.

Also from the CCS Facebook post (the caption for the photo Endo posted):
"Check out the new portafilters that now come with the La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi and Vivaldi II. They are not for sale separately, at this time."

Re: New PF Handles
That is the handle you get if you order a bottomless PF from CC. I just got one.
Re: New PF Handles
Bought my mini Last December and it came with those portafilters. Also got a bottomless and it came with a different plastic handle though.
Re: New PF Handles
Same here, I wanted to swap the dual handle over to the bottomless but those handles are on there good!dgasmd wrote:Bought my mini Last December and it came with those portafilters. Also got a bottomless and it came with a different plastic handle though.
Re: New PF Handles
The portafilter handles are secured with a threadlocker of some type. I got mine off by constructing a wood extension as shown in the photo below. The piece of wood is split almost from one end to the other and and held tight with two bolts. I then wraped the PF handle with duct tape and put the PF into a vise with padded jaws. This provided enough leverage to break the bond and remove the original PF handle without damaging it.
Re: New PF Handles
I am findig myself annoyed by the new handle; the tip is chromed plastic and wiggles a little. If anyone has a triple fitting bottomless with the original handle and wants to trade, LMK.
--or I could just go LDT on my bottomless and swap its handle with one of my other portafilters.
