    Hi,

    Watermark in CityWest Business Park should have them, I think they are (or at least were) the Gaggia distributor in Ireland?

    In any case, I wouldn't bother :) . I'd just buy a regular basket for your poratafilter.

    OR you could look at setting up one of these an post uk delivery addresses and order from Amazon:

    Sorry I'm a bit of a noob, I bought a Gaggia Classic recently I think I have a regular basket actually two that came with it (double,single pop out basket), thought you needed one of these cream filter pin things to go in end of portafilter.

    I have a new version Classic.
    Pin not needed contrary to what some people say. Use the unpressurised basket also.

    Got mine new.

    One basket with only one tiny hole in the middle, pressurised basket.
    One basket with holes all over, non pressurised.

    Believe me, if you use a pressurised basket without the little plastic 'crema' thingy you will know all about it!!
    (Certainly on my one which is probably 6-7 years old).
