Will a VST basket fit my portafilter?

VST baskets suit 58mm portafilters. Ridged baskets clip into standard portafilters, while ridgeless baskets suit portafilters without a retaining spring. Ask our team if you are unsure.

Which dose size should I choose?

Choose the basket that matches your usual dose. An 18g basket suits most double shots, while 20g and 22g baskets suit larger doses.

What does a refractometer measure?

It measures total dissolved solids (TDS) in brewed coffee, which lets you calculate extraction and dial in more precisely.

VST Precision Filter Baskets

VST precision filter baskets are made to tight tolerances for even extraction and cleaner, sweeter espresso. Standard baskets can have uneven hole sizes and spacing, which leads to channelling and inconsistent shots. VST baskets let water flow evenly through the coffee bed, so you get more consistent results and a clearer picture of how your grind and dose are affecting flavour. Our range includes ridged baskets, which clip into most standard 58mm portafilters, and ridgeless baskets, which suit portafilters without a retaining spring, including many bottomless portafilters. Choose from 15g to 22g sizes to match your usual dose, with 18g suiting most double shots. We also stock the VST LAB Coffee III refractometer, which measures total dissolved solids so you can calculate extraction and dial in with real data. It is used by roasters, cafes and serious home baristas. See all coffee machine baskets. Our team can help you choose the right size.

Why Precision Baskets Matter

Standard filter baskets can have uneven hole sizes and spacing. VST baskets are made to precise tolerances, so water flows evenly through the coffee bed. That means more even extraction, fewer channelling issues and a cleaner, more consistent shot.

Ridged or Ridgeless?

Ridged baskets have a lip that clips into most standard portafilters. Ridgeless baskets have straight sides and suit portafilters without a retaining spring, including many bottomless portafilters. Choose the dose size that matches how much coffee you use, from 15g to 22g.
