Know before you buy
The zeroHero basket is designed for standard 58mm portafilters. As long as your machine uses a 58mm group head, it should be compatible, though we recommend checking your machine's manual to confirm your portafilter size.
The capacity you choose should align with your preferred dose of ground coffee. If you typically pull double shots with a specific amount of coffee, select the basket size that matches that weight to ensure proper headspace between the puck and the shower screen.
Because this basket features a high-flow design, you may find that your current grind setting flows faster than it did with your stock basket. You might need to adjust your grinder to a slightly finer setting to maintain your ideal extraction time.
Not at all. The stainless steel construction is durable and resistant to coffee oil buildup. Simply rinse it with hot water after each use and perform a deeper soak or scrub with a mild detergent occasionally to keep the mesh clear.
Yes, the precision-engineered holes provide a more uniform flow across the entire puck. This consistency helps prevent channeling and uneven extraction, which typically results in a cleaner, more balanced, and flavorful cup of espresso.
