Know before you buy
This basket is designed specifically for ECM machines with a 58mm grouphead. While it may physically fit other 58mm portafilters, we recommend it primarily for ECM equipment to ensure a proper seal and optimal extraction.
This basket is designed to hold between 7 and 10 grams of ground coffee. We suggest starting at 8 grams and adjusting based on your specific bean roast and grind size to achieve your preferred flavor profile.
Yes, you will need a 58mm tamper. Because single-shot baskets often have a tapered bottom, ensure your tamper is a true 58mm to achieve an even, level bed of coffee.
Single-shot baskets feature a narrower, tapered base to concentrate the smaller volume of coffee grounds. This shape helps maintain the necessary pressure for a proper extraction despite the lower dose.
Yes, this basket will fit into most standard 58mm bottomless portafilters. However, keep in mind that single-shot baskets can be more sensitive to grind consistency, which will be very visible when using a bottomless setup.
