I'm considering buying a VTS or IMS basket for my Brewtus III-V, intending
to use it in the same stock portafilter. VST has an "18g Double" with these
specs:
17-19 gram dose

58.4 mm tamper
Am I safe in assuming this would fit the OEM portafilter that

where it has a tendency to not fully depressurize the grouphead after
pulling a shot. After the shot is completed and I lower the lever, I notice

I am very happy to have found this discussion. The pressure stat on my
ten-year-old Brewtus III-V had been leaking for a while, leaving a small
puddle under the machine and requiring the pump to switch on every 15
minutes or so for a few seconds. From WLL I ordered a new pressure stat and

I'm pleased to report that the machine was repaired and arrived last

I'm posting this in the hope that someone will be able to offer some
advice on how I might get some info on the repair status of my machine
from Whole Latte Love. After the PID failed on my Brewtus III-V (just

pack it up and ship
satisfaction soon. Good luck.

Hello everyone. This is my second try to start a new thread (sorry for
the earlier error).

Well I wasted about $20 worth of coffee thinking that it was a
technique problem before I realized that there was no brew pressure.I
also double checked the behavior of the BPG (an accepted acronym?).
When I turned the machine on again, it crept up to about 2 or 3. Then
I tested with a backflush
