Why use a high-extraction filter basket?
A good filter basket is a key part of your home barista setup.
We always recommend using a 2-cup (18 g) single wall portafilter basket. It’s perfect for your daily espresso, bringing out the best in your precious beans.
But for curious home baristas who want to learn more about their beans and their machine, we now offer these new precision filter baskets.
Because this basket allows you to grind a bit finer, it enables a higher extraction that brings out new and interesting flavours from your beans.
Pro tip: It also makes your medium to light roast beans truly shine.
Good to know about this filter basket
Like all our products, these filter baskets have been thoroughly tested. Based on that, we selected two types of precision filter baskets.
Our 2-layer basket is the more accessible choice. Thanks to the extra filter layer, you still get the benefits of high extraction but with quicker, more consistent results and less risk. Super handy if you’re using your Sage grinder, for example.
Our 1-layer basket is more sensitive and requires extra precision and attention. Small changes are noticeable right away, making it perfect for experimenting, especially if you already have control over your grind.
Features of these filter baskets:
- Laser-cut holes ensure a balanced extraction
- For double espresso, with capacity for 17–19 g of coffee
- Stainless steel for even heat distribution
- 2-layer basket with built-in 0.18 mm mesh filter
- 1-layer basket with spiral-shaped laser-cut holes
