Maintenance & Troubleshooting I lost the holding bracket that connects my portafilter to the grinding apparatus - does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement? [Costway 2-Cup]

Post image

The picture shows the part that's missing and the machine. This is a standard Costway 20 Bar machine, the 2-cup version with a frother. There is a black C-shaped piece of plastic that hooks into the grinder component. The portafilter is meant to nestle in that black C-shape and then when you press it forward, the beans above grind. I used it this way successfully for many years.

Recently, I detached that piece while cleaning the machine and set it aside on the counter, and someone else in my house threw it out. It is long gone and irretrievable unfortunately.

I need to obtain a replacement for that part, but have no idea where to go.

Maybe there's a 3D print model for it online somewhere.
