Really? I never got one, and also bought the Rancilio (which is a really nice one) from Chris Coffee. bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....."

Mine came later, and I wasn't aware of this, so I bought the Rancilio bottomless PF that you can get from Chris Coffee. It fits fine, and is actually what I'm using right now. I do prefer that it sits more flush on my tamp stand when tamping. It is heavier than the Expobar one, and locks in at a different spot, but seems to work fine. Check the mailing list, there was a thread on this just a week or two ago.
