So as some of you may know I recently obtained a Yellow Expobar Office Control.
On receiving it, it had a faulty OPV and no steam tip (apparently my idea of "Good Condition" is different to the seller), but still a good price overall, and it's working well (thanks CoffeParts - ordered them wednesday night, got them Friday). As I've discussed with AM, I think I'll track down a better OPV in the future, but that's not the point of this post.
The one thing that struck me, after upgrading from the Lelit was the baskets were very different - the expobar ones were shallow, and the double couldn't take nearly as much coffee. I stuck my 57mm basket from the Lelit in, and to my surprise, it still sealed, and the coffee gave a much nicer pour - this is a major plus because I don't need to upgrade my tamper now (have a spare basket to sell with the machine from when I got my tamper).
Has anyone else has experience with using the Lelit baskets in anything other than Lelit's??? I know heaps of people change baskets, but haven't had anyone mention using them with any HX machines before.
