If I recall this has a 53mm basket, similar to Saeco, Nemox and a few other small Italian machine. They this , www.edesiaespress.com/bottomless-portafilter-for-saeco-53mm-espresso-machines-14g-basket/
Get the shroud off and the group seal out. Give it a clean and check how flexible it still is if it is hard it will need replaced. Take measurement of the inside and outside diameters as well as the thickness and search with those in mind. I am sure there are compatible ones available still. Off the top of my head I can't recall.
@@espressorestomelbourne1735 thanks for the response. I got the gasket out, it was tough because it was cemented to the machine. I had to screw the brew chamber apart to get it out. As you can guess it was rock solid. I can't find anything with the same dimension, but i found someone on a forum who had the same issue, apparently it's possible to buy a starbucks barista gasket and carve out some material to make it work with this machine. So I've ordered that gasket now from amazon for around €10 and will try to customize it.
@@ansbjer Awsome! Have you looked for an Isomac Giada, I think this might use the same seal. If that doesn't work, take the old one to a company that makes o-rings and seals, they will be able to cut something out for you.
@@espressorestomelbourne1735 thanks, the dimensions of giada seems to be very close to my machine. I'm impressed and thankful that you found it, i spent hours and didn't find anything. I've ordered that seal as well now, and will try it out.
The Isomac giada gasket worked! It's a little too thin so i have to screw the portafilter a little bit more, but it makes a seal! First espresso shot pulled today, cant wait to learn more about making good espresso. Also, i tried modifying the barista gasket, but I didn't get it to work. I believe it's possible though.
Brilliant! The Proteo Grande as sold by Starbucks was first espresso maker purchased in 1997. The cobalt blue color was fantastic.
Any bottomless filters for this?

Hey, i bought this exact one today. It leaks from the head gasket, do you know which head gasket i could use to replace it?
