Know before you buy
This basket is designed for universal 58mm portafilters. As long as your machine uses a standard 58mm group head, it should be compatible, though you should ensure your portafilter has enough clearance for the basket depth.
Titanium is chemically inert and highly resistant to oxidation, which prevents any metallic aftertaste from leaching into your coffee. This helps preserve the pure, original flavor profile of your beans compared to standard stainless steel.
Yes, the groove-free interior allows for a more uniform puck density. It prevents coffee grounds from getting trapped in crevices, which simplifies your tamping process and promotes more even water distribution during extraction.
While the basket is optimized for an 18g dose, you can typically adjust by +/- 1g depending on your roast level and grind size. However, exceeding the capacity significantly may cause the puck to touch the shower screen, leading to uneven extraction.
The high density of 0.27mm holes promotes a more consistent flow rate across the entire surface of the puck. This reduces the likelihood of channeling and helps you achieve a more balanced, sweeter cup of espresso.
