Filter Basket

A single-wall basket removes the artificial pressure mechanism found in stock baskets, giving you full control over your extraction. This allows you to dial in your grind size and tamping technique to achieve a more nuanced, cafe-quality espresso.

This basket is designed for standard 54mm portafilters, which are compatible with most Breville espresso machines. We recommend double-checking your specific portafilter diameter before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Rinse it thoroughly with hot water after every use to prevent coffee oil buildup. For a deeper clean, soak it in a specialized espresso machine cleaning powder or a mild detergent solution periodically to keep the holes clear and ensure consistent flow.
