Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused and wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this.

I have:

• Normcore 54mm Bottomless Portafilter for Sage/Breville
• Normcore Compact Tamping Station (51/54mm)

According to the product descriptions, they should be compatible.

However, when I place the portafilter on the tamping station, it doesn't sit correctly. The ears of the portafilter rest on the silicone insert, so the basket stays elevated instead of fitting inside the cutout.

I've attached a few photos showing the issue.

My questions are:

1. Does anyone own these exact two products?
2. Does your portafilter fit correctly?
3. Is my tamping station defective (wrong silicone insert or manufacturing issue), or is this actually expected?

I'd really appreciate it if someone with the same setup could share a photo of how theirs fits.

Thanks!
