About this accessory
Experience uniform extractions across all groups all the time – permanently. The VST Precision Insert Basket is the essential espresso filter for those in search of the ultimate cup.
The VST baskets deliver consistent extraction performance over a wide range of concentration with reduced sediment. All VST Filters are warranted for ZERO defects! This is achieved by checking 100% of all holes which are measured for circularity, placement, square area and blocked holes.
It is designed to extract properly and expertly amongst most bottomless portafilters, including Rancillio, La Cimbali, La Marzocco, and Nuova Simonelli, Quick Mill, Izzo, Rocket, Giotto, Isomac, Vibiemme, and more.
Each insert basket is uniquely coded for manufacturing QC and product authenticity.
Each insert basket is marked with a very unique 2-D bar-code to ensure true authenticity and performance. The 2-D bar-code stores the factory measurements, the quality reports, and even image data.

– Suits most E-61 group heads (58mm) and any group that measures 60mm in diameter
– 18 gram Double filter basket
– Dosing capacity from 17-19 grams
– Works with tampers up to 58.3mm

**NB: check the measurement of your current baskets and handles to assure correct fitting

What other customers have actually taken home in the last little while — straight from our order book, not a curated list.
Before you buy
Built for 58 mm portafilters — the size used by essentially every prosumer machine we sell, including Bezzera, ECM, Lelit, Profitec, Quick Mill and Rocket. If you're on a 51 mm or 54 mm machine, talk to us first.
Tell us the machine you own and we'll confirm the fit before you order. It takes one phone call and saves a return. Call 1300 551 626 →
Dispatched from our Brisbane warehouse, usually within 1–2 business days. Pickup from the Woolloongabba showroom is available if you'd rather collect.

Why buy it here
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.
Goes well with
The grinder matters as much as the machine — here's what we'd pair with it.

We would rather spend ten minutes helping you land on the right machine than process a return later. Call us, start a chat, email, or send this and we'll come back to you.
