I want to buy an atmospheric filter for my espresso machine, but I don't know what part of the filter I should measure. Should I be measuring the radius from the internal part of the border of the filter or the external part of the ring/border?

Sorry, I tried to express myself as well as I could but I am not familiar with some coffee terminology in English.

    Welcome! You could add a picture - that often helps when words don’t.

  • @Stephie Ok. I will when I have more time and I'll add the machine's name as well.

  • @ths Maybe it isn't called that way in english. It's the same as non presurized filter.

  • i think you might mean "non pressurized portafilter" or "basket". wokelark.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/…

The portafilter sizes are given as the inner diameter of the basket in mm. This is the same as the diameter a tight fitting tamper would have.
