We have a old rancillio and we had that problem with the porta filters going almost to the steam wand to tighten,so we inquired we where told that as the metal wears they do that but they sell gaskets to correct this problem we ordered some installed them stops right on the money with no leaking. As far as the portafilter we soak over night in purocaf as 1 piece we do not take apart.
