Parts & Repair VST Precision Portafilter Insert Basket – 20g

Looking to get more sweetness and depth from your espresso? VST Precision Baskets offer improved consistency and extraction due to their uniquely rigorous design and manufacturing process. Available in 20g baskets for your 58mm bottomless portafilters. 

Unlike many others, VST baskets have holes across the basket’s entire bottom surface, allowing water to flow evenly through the entire bed of coffee. The precision-cut holes help reduce obstructions during extraction, greatly reducing channeling – making for a more reliable and less messy experience.

Every basket is micro-machined and carefully inspected during finishing. All the holes are uniform in size and distribution. Ridged baskets have a ridge near the top of the basket which keeps the basket more firmly locked into your portafilter – some choose ridgeless to ensure the most even possible flow.
