E&B Lab, by IMS Nanoquartz Precision Basket with largest filtration area of 715 holes. For about 18 grams.. B702TFH24NT

Good quality tamper. Pretty heavy and has substantial feel to it. I got clean wall on my IMS Precision basket on every tamp. I returned my Normcore V4 in favor of this.

I was surprised when I changed my Kitchen Aid espresso machine's stock basket with this one. This basket offers a lot less resistance than your stock basket so it requires for you to grind finer to maintain the same pressure. The sweetness that resulted from the first shot I dialed in with the new basket was something I had never tasted before. It was as if I had added syrup to my espresso. It really shows that a good quality basket is a good way to spend your money if you are trying to improve the taste of your shots.

Adquirí el filtro por un video de James Hoffmann, y fue una gran decisión, pasó todo lo que describió en el video, fue necesario moler más fino, el resultado en taza fue excelente.

Fits my ascaso uno without issue, works with 58.5 distributor, tamper, and puck. Nano coating works extremely well and the pucks come out in one piece, no issues. Only problem I have is that I ordered an 18g basket but it feels more like a 20g. Like as soon as I put 18g or less there seems to be very little pressure build up and watery. So I need to put 19g or 20g, maybe even 21g, just to have consistently good shots.

I wasn't happy with the stock Gaggia Classic basket, the holes seemed poorly formed.Hence I quickly opted for the E&B 18 gram basket (the biggest one I thought would fit in the stock Classic portafilter).I now get much better results.One comment is that this basket has a somewhat domed rim - which makes it a tighter fit in the grouphead, Consequently it needs a firmer hand to lock the portafilter in place than when using the stock basket.
