I am interested in getting this Portafilter and triple basket for my Gaggia Baby.

Does any one know if the 15 deg. La Marzocco PF will fit my machine?  Or am I just wasting my time and should get a better machine.  I am planning on eventually getting an E-61 machine.

does the WBC use triple or double baskets in their barista competitions?   I own a nouva simonelli VIP 2 group and was curious about upgrading to a triple basket.  Would a La Marzocco fit my group heads?  

Thanks,

I'm going to have to pick up an LM triple basket now.

My Silvia came with the commercial PF and feels sturdy enough for my needs, but the triple basket looks promising.

Hi Steve,

Your machine is listed here; maybe not exact machine though, I didn't fully look. http://www.espressoparts.com/index.php/categories/1/27  You can search by machine or picture. Email Terry, he'll certainly know, or one of his techs.

Hi Chris,

The triple basket is AWESOME, but it won't fit in the commercial Rancilio handle though. It's been posted quite a few times, but here's the start of the thread again:La Marzocco "Style" Portafilter and Basket for Silvia.

So what PF is needed to use the LM triple on Silvia? (I've got a Sil and Rock EN ROUTE to me now..., I guess I need all the help I can get.)

In the link above!  Ok.., homework done, here: http://www.espressoparts.com/index.php/categories/1/19
Click on MZ..56 on the 2nd pull down menu... The triple basket is just below the handle listing also.

Hey, I want one! Will it fit the Isomac Venus brewhead? Is the Isomac brewhead the same size and configuration as all of her big brothers in the Isomac line?

Yes it will fit the Venus.  I had a Venus that I sold about a month ago or so and I was using the La Marzocco portafilter on it. You will like it a lot. I thought that it definitely made a difference.
