What size filter basket do I need?

Filter baskets are sized by the dose they hold, commonly 15g, 18g, 20g or 22g, and also by diameter to fit your portafilter, with 58mm the most common. Choosing a basket that matches your usual dose helps you get an even puck and a balanced shot. If you're not sure what size suits your machine and grinder, our team is happy to help you match one up.

What is a ridgeless filter basket?

A standard basket has a ridge pressed into the side that holds it in place in the portafilter. A ridgeless basket omits this, which makes it easier to remove, simpler to use with a bottomless (naked) portafilter, and more compatible with puck screens. Performance is the same, so it comes down to your portafilter and personal preference.

What's the difference between a precision basket and a standard one?

Precision baskets, like the VST range, are laser-measured so the holes are uniform in size and spacing. This promotes more even water flow through the puck and more repeatable extractions, which is why they're a popular upgrade for people dialling in their espresso. Standard baskets work perfectly well for everyday brewing, while precision baskets simply remove one more variable for those chasing consistency.

What is a blind basket used for?

A blind basket is a solid basket with no holes, used to backflush espresso machines that have a solenoid valve. Combined with a cleaning powder or tablet, it forces water back through the group head to clear out built-up coffee oils, which keeps your machine clean and your coffee tasting fresh. It's an essential bit of kit for regular machine maintenance.

Coffee Machine Filter Baskets

The filter basket is where your espresso begins, and a quality basket makes a real difference to how evenly your coffee extracts. Our range covers precision baskets, standard replacements, blind baskets for cleaning, and shower screens, from trusted names like VST, Lelit, De'Longhi and Pesado. Whether you're chasing more consistent extractions, replacing a worn basket, or picking up the parts you need to keep your machine clean, there's an option here to suit your setup.

Precision & Standard Filter Baskets

Filter baskets come in a range of sizes, measured by the dose they're designed to hold, commonly 15g, 18g, 20g and 22g. Matching your basket to your dose helps you get an even, well-distributed puck and a balanced shot. Precision baskets like the VST range are laser-measured for consistent hole size and spacing, which promotes more even water flow and repeatable results, a popular upgrade for anyone dialling in their espresso. Ridgeless versions make it easier to use a bottomless portafilter or fit a puck screen, while standard baskets are a reliable replacement for everyday brewing. Sizing also needs to match your portafilter, with 58mm the most common, so it's worth checking your machine if you're unsure.

Blind Baskets & Shower Screens

Beyond brewing, a couple of key parts keep your machine performing. A blind basket (a solid basket with no holes) is used to backflush machines with a solenoid valve, clearing coffee oils from the group head as part of regular cleaning. Shower screens like the Pesado high-diffusion range sit in the group head and spread water evenly across the puck, and keeping them clean or replacing a worn one helps maintain a consistent extraction. Together they're small parts that make a noticeable difference to both your coffee and the life of your machine.
