SV Italia parts for your espresso machine
Keeping a commercial style espresso machine running well is mostly about looking after the parts you touch every day. Portafilters, handles and the small wearing components take the brunt of daily use, and replacing them on time keeps shots consistent and the machine feeling like new.
Portafilters and handles
SV Italia machines use a standard commercial 58mm group head, so a 58mm portafilter is the usual starting point. An E61 compatible portafilter gives you a solid, familiar bayonet style connection. A comfort handle is a simple upgrade for anyone who pulls a lot of shots, as a better shaped grip is easier on the wrist and gives you more control when locking in and releasing.
How to check what fits
Portafilter and handle fit depends on more than the machine name. Start with your exact model name and, if you can, the part number printed on or supplied with the original item. Then measure the basket diameter, and check the thread on the handle, because handles are threaded to suit the portafilter body rather than the machine. If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the part and we will help you work out the match before you spend a cent.
A practical tip
When you fit a new handle, wind it on by hand until snug and make sure the portafilter still locks into the group head at a comfortable position, with the handle pointing roughly straight ahead. If it stops too far round or too short, the group seal is usually the culprit rather than the portafilter. A worn seal is a two minute check and a cheap fix.
