MHW-3BOMBER Blind Basket

This basket is designed for standard 58mm portafilters. As long as your machine uses a 58mm group head, it should provide a secure, reliable fit for your backflushing routine.

SUS304 stainless steel is food-grade, highly resistant to corrosion, and durable enough to withstand the high pressure and heat of backflushing cycles. It ensures the basket won't degrade or impart metallic flavors into your machine's internal components.

For home users, a backflush with cleaning powder once a week is generally sufficient to prevent oil buildup. If you are in a professional setting or pull a high volume of shots daily, you should perform a backflush at the end of every shift.

Not at all. Because it is made of high-quality stainless steel, you simply need to rinse it thoroughly with warm water after each use to remove any residual cleaning powder. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it away.
