Izzo Insert Baskets

These baskets are specifically engineered for the 54mm portafilters found on Izzo Leva and Izzo Pompei machines. While they may physically fit other 54mm portafilters, we recommend them primarily for the specified Izzo models to ensure a proper seal and consistent extraction.

The choice depends on your daily workflow. The single basket is ideal for a standard 7-9 gram dose, while the double basket is designed for a 14-18 gram dose, which is generally preferred for standard double shots and easier puck management.

Yes, because these are 54mm baskets, you will need a 54mm tamper. Using a tamper that is too small will leave grounds on the sidewalls, while one that is too large will not fit into the basket.

You should consider a replacement if you notice inconsistent flow rates, physical damage to the mesh, or if the basket has become difficult to clean due to stubborn coffee oil buildup that affects the taste of your espresso.

Yes, these insert baskets are compatible with bottomless portafilters as long as the portafilter itself is designed to accept standard 54mm baskets.
