VST Precision Porta Filter Basket - E61

The precision of the holes in this basket is immediately noticeable—my shots are pulling evenly across both spouts, no more channeling on one side. It’s a pricey upgrade, but for anyone chasing uniform extractions, it does exactly what it promises.

I switched to this basket from a generic one and immediately noticed more even flow across my double shots. The precision drilling makes a real difference in how the espresso tastes.

The holes are so precisely drilled that my shots finally run clear and even across both spouts, no more channeling on the left side. I've pulled maybe twenty shots through it already and every single one has been noticeably sweeter in the cup.
