I don’t use the steam wand enough to upgrade. I need to invest in a bottomless portafilter and better tamper. Do you have suggestions for these? I’d like to get a spring loaded tamper.

I’ve also started playing with the water flow valve. I pulled back the water and made the grind more coarse to try and maintain 9 bars. Undershot it this morning and never got to 9 bars. Slowly start moving to a finer ground.

I bought this portafilter and it’s fine. Any 58mm bottomless made to fit an E61 will work. LINK

I got this tamper and have no complaints. Just watch the tamper diameter. It should be > 58.

I also bought an 18g IMS ridgeless basket. Will have to do some more tinkering once that comes in.
