Description

Looking to get more sweetness and depth from your espresso? VST Precision Baskets offer improved consistency and extraction due to their uniquely rigorous design and manufacturing process. Available in 20g baskets for your 58mm bottomless portafilters. 

Unlike many others, VST baskets have holes across the basket's entire bottom surface, allowing water to flow evenly through the entire bed of coffee. The precision-cut holes help reduce obstructions during extraction, greatly reducing channeling - making for a more reliable and less messy experience.

Every basket is micro-machined and carefully inspected during finishing. All the holes are uniform in size and distribution. Ridged baskets have a ridge near the top of the basket which keeps the basket more firmly locked into your portafilter – some choose ridgeless to ensure the most even possible flow. Watch our video on the importance of portafilter baskets!

Note: Espresso machine and grinder parts are non-returnable.

Need to Know

The VST 20g Precision Basket transforms espresso extraction through engineering precision. Designed for 58mm portafilters, this ridged basket delivers noticeably sweeter, more consistent shots by eliminating the variables that cause channeling and uneven extraction.

Key Features

  • Precision-Machined Holes: Computer-controlled manufacturing ensures every hole is uniform in size and spacing, allowing water to flow evenly through the entire coffee bed
  • Full-Bottom Coverage: Holes extend across the entire basket surface—no dead zones where water stalls or bypasses coffee
  • 20g Capacity: Ideal for double shots on most home and commercial machines with 58mm portafilters
  • Ridged Design: The ridge near the basket's rim locks it firmly into your portafilter, preventing movement during tamping and extraction
  • Rigorous Quality Control: Each basket is individually inspected during finishing to meet VST's exacting standards

VST baskets reduce channeling dramatically—expect cleaner pours, more reliable extractions, and better-tasting espresso. Whether you're dialing in a new coffee or perfecting your workflow, this basket gives you the consistency to focus on technique. Not sure if ridged or ridgeless is right for your portafilter?
