DeLonghi Double Dose Basket AS00002565

No, this specific part (AS00002565) is designed exclusively for the DeLonghi Specialista range of espresso machines. It will not fit other DeLonghi models, so please verify your machine series before purchasing.

No, this basket is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the stainless steel mesh and ensure consistent extraction, we recommend hand washing it with warm water and a mild detergent after each use.

The double dose capacity is designed to hold enough ground coffee to brew two standard espresso shots at once. It is the standard size for most double-shot recipes, typically requiring 14 to 18 grams of coffee depending on your grind size and roast.

The tapered shape is engineered to help retain coffee grounds more effectively during the tamping process. This design promotes a more uniform puck density, which helps prevent channeling and ensures a more balanced extraction.

This is a permanent stainless steel filter basket. It is designed to be used directly with ground coffee, eliminating the need for paper filters and allowing more of the coffee's natural oils to pass into your cup for a richer flavor profile.
