Know before you buy
This basket is designed for standard 58mm or 58.5mm portafilters. As long as your machine uses a standard commercial-style group head, it should fit securely.
The 661 precisely engineered holes ensure water flows evenly through the coffee bed. This reduces channeling and results in a more balanced, consistent extraction compared to stock baskets.
Yes, for the best results, you should use a 58.5mm tamper. This size provides a snug fit against the walls of the basket, ensuring an even tamp and preventing coffee grounds from being left behind on the sides.
No, this basket is not dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing it with hot water after each use and using a soft brush or specialized cleaning powder periodically to keep the precision holes clear of oils.
The basket features an optimized shape and an electro-polished finish that reduces friction. This allows the coffee puck to release cleanly and dry out more effectively, making cleanup much faster.
