Know before you buy
Yes, this basket is compatible with most standard 58mm to 58.5mm portafilters. As long as your machine uses a standard 58mm group head, it should fit securely.
The 1,800 precision-drilled holes promote a more uniform flow through the coffee puck. This increased surface area helps minimize channeling and typically results in a cleaner, more vibrant cup profile.
This basket is designed to accommodate a wide range of doses, from 12g to 22g. This flexibility allows you to experiment with different recipes, from single shots to larger double shots.
Because this basket emphasizes bright notes and aromatics, it is particularly well-suited for light to medium roasts. The high uniformity helps extract the delicate flavors often found in lighter, specialty-grade coffees.
Yes, for the best results, you should use a precision tamper that matches the 58mm diameter of the basket. A snug fit ensures an even bed of coffee and helps prevent side-channeling.
This basket is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the 1,800 holes, rinse it with hot water after each use and use a soft brush or an espresso machine cleaning detergent periodically to prevent oil buildup.
