Know before you buy
The Pesado Hybrid features a modular design that allows you to screw off the bottomless base and attach a spouted component. This transition takes only a few seconds, letting you switch between a bottomless extraction for troubleshooting and a spouted configuration for serving multiple drinks.
This model is compatible with E61 group heads, La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, and Gaggia machines. Please verify your machine's specific group head type and lug orientation before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
The 58.5mm diameter is designed to provide a tighter fit with precision-engineered baskets. This reduces the amount of coffee grounds left on the sidewalls of the basket, leading to more even extraction and less channeling.
Yes, stainless steel is significantly more durable and resistant to wear over time. Unlike chrome-plated brass, which can eventually chip or flake, stainless steel maintains its integrity and finish even with heavy daily use in a professional setting.
The handle is designed for a comfortable, secure grip that helps keep the portafilter level during the tamping process. Its weight distribution is balanced to feel stable in the hand, which assists in achieving a consistent, level puck.
The Pesado Hybrid is designed to accommodate standard 58mm-style precision baskets. However, because it is engineered for high-performance extraction, it works best when paired with high-quality, straight-walled precision baskets.
