Know before you buy
Billet construction offers superior structural integrity and precision-machined hole patterns. This results in more consistent water distribution and flow rates, which helps minimize channeling during your extraction.
Choose the standard 58mm if you are using a traditional 58mm portafilter. The step-down configuration is a specialized option designed for specific workflows or machines that require a tapered geometry to achieve a different puck depth or extraction profile.
While the Billet Basket is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Force Tamper base plates for a precise fit, it will work with most standard 58mm tampers. However, for the best results and to ensure a perfect seal, we recommend matching the tamper diameter to the basket's internal dimensions.
No, the titanium coating is purely for aesthetic customization and increased surface durability. It is food-safe and will not impart any metallic or off-flavors to your coffee.
These baskets are not dishwasher safe, as harsh detergents can degrade the titanium finish over time. We recommend rinsing the basket with hot water after each use and using a soft brush or specialized espresso machine cleaner to remove oils.
Yes, you can use a smaller dose in a larger basket, but be mindful of the headspace between the coffee puck and the shower screen. If the dose is too low, you may need to adjust your grind size or distribution technique to ensure an even extraction.
