Know before you buy
No, this basket is specifically engineered for the Cafelat Robot and features a 57.5 mm diameter. It will not fit standard 58mm portafilters found on most commercial or home espresso machines.
Because this is a non-pressurized basket, it requires a high-quality burr grinder to achieve a fine, precise grind. Most pre-ground coffee is too coarse for this basket and will result in under-extracted, sour espresso.
While the basket can hold up to 25 grams, we recommend a dose between 18 and 20 grams for the best balance of extraction and headspace. Dosing within this range allows for consistent puck preparation and optimal flow.
Yes, you should use a tamper specifically sized for the Cafelat Robot to ensure a level, even puck. A standard 58mm tamper will likely be too large and will not fit inside the basket.
The basket is dishwasher safe, though we recommend rinsing it with hot water after each use to prevent oil buildup. For a deeper clean, you can soak it in a mild espresso machine detergent occasionally.
