Portafilter Basket - VST 20gram Ridged 58mm
VST baskets came onto the market and raised the bar for basket consistency and performance. Before then no one had really paid much attention to how their baskets were made. VST baskets are precision-engineered and basket holes are measured for size, placement, and shape. Basically, they made a high-performing basket to match your high-performing espresso machine. These baskets are designed to help you get a better-tasting coffee, every time.
Do they match the hype, we think so!
