Product Information

Improved structural integrity, will withstand deflection from pump cycling without premature fatigue failures (see VST Warranty) Some standard VST Precision Basket sizes include 15g, 18g, 20g, and 22g, where the number refers to the basket's nominal capacity in grams of coffee. Compatibility with your espresso machine and portafilter The IMS baskets seem to require a grind setting 1 to 1.5 notches finer than the VST for the same results. Taste-wise, people prefer the IMS baskets; they produce more delicacy and sweetness in a cup These differences are only minor and may even be undetectable in milk-based drinks. Is a precision basket worth it? Improve your espresso today with the VST precision filter basket. The VST basket has been designed to guarantee consistent extraction performance over a wide range of concentration, with the additional benefits of reduced sediment and simplified preparation. The shape and design of the holes allow for coffee to extract superbly, regardless of the amount being extracted. Experiment with different grind settings to find the sweet spot for your coffee beans and VST Precision Basket. Ensuring proper distribution and tamping

Fitment Includes: Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino, Bambino Plus, Infuser and Duo-Temp Pro. We recommend cleaning the portafilter every 10 shots At home, however, the demand is far less so there’s no reason to leave it dirty. For convenience, consider cleaning the portafilter right after pulling your shot and before drinking your coffee – just get it out of your way. What is a precision basket? Thanks to their precise hole pattern and sizing, VST Precision Baskets promote even water distribution and extraction, resulting in a more flavorful and balanced espresso. Filters are matched for a total square area to +/- 5% to ensure identical group-to-group performance (typical variances of standard filters range from 50-200% of nominal)Let's compare the two types of baskets to understand the key differences that set VST Precision Baskets apart. Hole pattern and size differences Wide outlet angle to prevent filters from clogging, anti-wear design ensures uniform performance for the life of the product VST’s precision filters deliver consistent extraction performance over a wide range of concentration with reduced sediment

A coffee basket’s job seems relatively simple right, filter hot water through extremely fine ground coffee particles within a high pressure environment. Well easier said than done, now from the naked eye the coffee particles all look identical in size when ground so finely. When in actual fact from a microscopic level all these particles are of many different shapes and sizes. This results in improved flavor, clarity, and shot-to-shot consistency, elevating your espresso brewing experience. Recommended for use with the following machines: La Marzocco, Synesso, and most Nuova Simonelli models using their standard portafilters.

What's in the Box

The Breville Dual Boiler has its group head design, which is more modern than the ancient Italian version. Bonus Info: The E61 was invented in 1961 , so obviously, we have better technology nowadays. This means that Breville has put in a PID-controller controller both in the boiler and the brew head. How does a Portafilter work? Now that you understand the benefits of VST Precision Baskets, choosing the right one for your espresso setup is essential.

Just like traffic, our grounds in the basket work the same. Having partial or multiple occlusions with a basket from these ‘chunkier’ particles means that the domino effect results in under extraction to that localised area. This will lead to less extraction and depending on how well trained your taste buds are you’ll notice the deficiency in flavour. The compatibility of portafilters between brands sometimes becomes an issue. Most manufacturers make their own versions and even those of the same diameter sometimes do not fit those of other makes This holds especially true in the lower priced entry levels and in the upper end dual boilers. Will any portafilter fit? The VST basket can effortlessly extract a ristretto, normale or lungo with minimal or no change in grind setting at a fixed dose.On the other hand, VST Precision Baskets feature a meticulously engineered hole pattern and sizing, ensuring uniform extraction and a more consistent espresso experience.
