Know before you buy
A pressurized basket creates artificial pressure during the brewing process, which helps you achieve a consistent, creamy espresso shot even if your grind size isn't perfect or if you are using pre-ground coffee.
This kit is designed for Gaggia espresso machines that utilize a 58mm portafilter. Please verify your machine's portafilter size before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
The 2-way pin is part of the pressurized mechanism that helps regulate the flow of coffee, ensuring the pressure builds up correctly inside the basket to produce that signature crema.
Yes, you can use freshly ground coffee, but this basket is specifically engineered to be more forgiving than a standard non-pressurized basket. It is an excellent choice if you are still dialing in your grinder or prefer the convenience of pre-ground coffee.
Yes, this is a direct factory replacement part manufactured by Gaggia, designed to meet the exact specifications of their 58mm espresso machine lineup.
