Know before you buy
No, this basket is specifically engineered for the Flair 58 espresso maker. While it features a 58mm diameter, the geometry is optimized for the Flair's unique brewing system and may not fit or perform correctly in standard commercial or home espresso machine portafilters.
A high-flow basket features a precision-engineered hole pattern that allows for less resistance during extraction. This design helps you achieve a more even extraction, especially when using lighter roast coffees that require higher flow rates to prevent bitterness.
This is a non-pressurized, competition-style basket. Because it lacks a pressurized valve, you will need a quality burr grinder to dial in the correct grind size to achieve proper resistance and a balanced espresso shot.
We recommend rinsing the basket with hot water after every use to remove coffee oils. While it is made of durable stainless steel, it is not dishwasher safe; hand washing with a mild detergent and a soft brush will best preserve the precision-cut holes.
While the basket is optimized for an 18g dose, you can typically adjust your dose by plus or minus 1-2 grams depending on the density of your coffee beans. However, staying close to the 18g capacity will provide the most consistent results and prevent over- or under-extraction.
