About this accessory

What it does, and why we stock it.

The Pesado EP filter basket is designed to complement and enhance the all-around flavors of your coffee.

These basket filters have been developed to make the most of dark to medium roast profile coffees, where the prominent tasting notes are richer and full, coffees that are designed to be a classic black coffee or mixed with milk.

These filter baskets are electro-polished to increase the smoothness in all surfaces, including inside the holes to increase the forgiveness of use.

The EP filter basket offers dosing capacities within ±1g of the recommended size.

54mm Basket Range: Compatible with most Breville machines.

Electro Polished
These coffee machine basket filters are electro-polished, a procedure that can polish areas that are inaccessible by other polishing methods.
This creates a clean, smooth surface and reduces the friction that the liquid has on the metal surface. This will help the coffee travel through the holes and on the sides of the basket filter.

Smooth Extraction
A smaller diameter and super polished amount of holes will enhance the smoothness of your drink, extracting plenty of body and also help achieving a consistent flavour with ease.

Easier, Tastier Coffee
We believe EP basket filters will allow you to experience a smoother coffee, easier preparation process and a consistent extraction flavor overall.
After comparing a large number of espresso shots we recommend these for all your darker to medium coffees where milk is the predominant consumption and rich espressos are appreciated.

What's the difference between the Pesado EP filter basket and the He[%] High Extraction Basket?
The Pesado HE filter basket is designed to extract more from your coffee. They are designed to be used with coffees that are usually lighter in roast profile, and have more subtle tasting notes. Coffees with more intense flavor will result in a fuller experience without compromising the balance of the drink.

The Pesado EP coffee basket filter is made to complement and enhance the all-around flavors of your coffee. They have been Is the EP basket magnetic? will it work with my dosing ring?
The Pesado EP basket depending on the size will fit the respective dosing rings including our magnetic dosing ring.
the EP basket is made from stainless steel which is magnetic by nature, you will have no issues using aftermarket dosing rings that sit on top or inside the filter basket.

Can I use a puck screen with the EP basket?
you will be able to use 58 & 54 mm puck screens, we recommend to use our own puck screen diffuser.
if you are using a puck screen keep in mind that coffee expands in the basket so if using a puck screen you will need to lower your dose by 1g or 2g respectively on the outcome you wish to get.
to make the most of dark to medium roast profile coffees, where the prominent tasting notes are richer and full, coffees that are designed to be a classic black coffee or mixed with milk.

Why buy it here

Chosen by the people who service the machines.

We don't stock accessories because a distributor offered them. Our technicians use this gear on the bench every day — so if it's here, it's because it holds up and it actually fits the machines we sell.
