Basket size unverified

We couldn't confirm the MHW-3BOMBER Espresso Puck Screen 53mm fits the ECM Classika PID: we don't know which basket size the MHW-3BOMBER Espresso Puck Screen 53mm is made for (the machine takes 58mm). The puck screen must match the portafilter size exactly, so check both before buying.
