Hi all! My trusty Krups machine portafilter broke. While my dream is to upgrade to a Rancilio Silvia, I can't afford that right now. This is a pic of the current portafilter type: Click Here (s773.beta.photobucket.com) I tried googling for portafilter types, but I can't seem to find something like this! Is it possible to get a replacement I can just use immediately? I've seen some Krups replacement filters that also have 3 "prongs", but the shape of the prongs looks slightly different. See pic here: Click Here (s773.beta.photobucket.com) In particular, as per the attached image, the prong at the bottom of the pic (6 o clock) seems to have a small groove on it. Appreciate any help! Thanks :)

Get a used machine from a thrift store or craigslist. It will be cheaper than ordering from the company. You might get lucky and find a better machine while you are there. I have heard of gaggias at thrift stores. The only silvia I would get if I were you is a used one. They are not worth the price new. You can do better for the cost of a new silvia.

it's not a total waste since your broken portafilter can now be used as a saw or a weapon in the zombie apocalypse.
