About this accessory

What it does, and why we stock it.

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.

Details:
– 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
– Basket height is 24.2mm

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

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.
