Know before you buy
The straight-walled basket is a high-flow design intended to maximize extraction for those looking to push their brew parameters. The chamfered version is a low-flow option that offers a more forgiving experience, making it easier to dial in your shots.
Yes, this basket is compatible with any standard 58mm to 58.5mm portafilter. It is designed to work with a wide range of professional-style espresso machines beyond the Flair 58.
These baskets are designed to accommodate a dose range of 16 to 20 grams. This capacity provides enough flexibility to experiment with different roast profiles and brew ratios.
No, these baskets are not dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing them with hot water after each use and performing a deeper clean with a dedicated espresso machine cleaner to prevent oil buildup in the fine mesh.
This is a non-pressurized, fine-mesh basket. It is designed for use with freshly ground coffee and a quality burr grinder to achieve proper resistance and extraction.
