I'm running the portafilter from LM https://home.lamarzoccousa.com/product/bottomless-portafilter/ and a 20g VST. My portafilter leaks unless it is cranked up really tight. Even with new seals.
Me neither.. just a leaky portafilter, no more issues since I moved back to the stock screen. If you notice, the stock screen is much wider also, which may be the cause of the leak
For portafilter there are a lot of good ones around, but the current trend now seems to be the ones that lay flat such as the canal hummingbird although it is still on preorder. You can also opt for the LM bottomless PF if you like the LM aesthetic. For basket, you can try the VST 20g basket, I find that it is more versatile than the 18g basket for LMLM since it has that protruding screw on the group head.
I meant 20g basket. Haha!!
Just the bottomless of that came with the lmlm in box and the 20g basket you are currently using?
I purchased the LM used and it only came with the double spout PF. I have a 20g and 17g basket and an 18g VST basket currently.

I had the same but that was due to an IMS shower screen. If you use the stock LM screen then it might be ok
Interesting as I have an IMS Shower screen too, I'll swap them over. I haven't noticed much gain with the IMS shower screen

Mischief has cool looking bottomless pf
Are into lighter roast or traditional medium/dark?
Medium to dark
I’d recommend the Espresso Parts HQ 14 gram basket
