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? Contact Clive's tech team before ordering—parts are non-returnable, and we're here to ensure compatibility.
