Are espresso filters standard?

[mexigaf]

I have a ten year old faema espresso machine that my parents bought and never used. I have been on an espresso kick lately so I decides to bring it out and see if I couldn't get it working. The only thing is that the little filter that goes inside the espresso handle (i guess thats what you would call it) is missing. Any idea where I could pick this up?

www.faema.com will allow you to look for a distributor in your area. I have a Faema store about 5 miles from me, if you can't get what you want, send me a PM.

It is called a portafilter basket and they are a standard-sized item. If you know the diameter of your grouphead or portafilter, you can order the correct sized basket.
