Decent portafilter baskets and shower screens

You need a flawless portafilter basket to make great coffee. Our Decent portafilter baskets feature precisely calibrated holes to provide a gorgeous mouthfeel and fantastic crema. And we inspect every basket microscopically to ensure it's perfect. Don't have a Decent yet? No problem. Our baskets fit most standard 58mm portafilters.

Not all espresso baskets are made the same. If the holes in your espresso basket are uneven due to poor manufacturing, water will rush toward the bigger holes, causing channeling and side extraction. That alone could make your coffee taste weak and bitter. A good portafilter basket will help you get that even, clean extraction.

We confirm that every basket is perfect before we send it to you by analyzing the hole sizes with software that coffee/computer scientist John Weiss wrote for us.

Decent portafilter baskets have a hole diameter that is adjusted across different basket sizes. Less coffee in the basket means less puck resistance. To address this issue, our smaller portafilter baskets feature slightly smaller holes than the larger baskets, allowing for a balanced pressure and flow rate.

We recommend using a tamper with a 58.35mm base, such as our Decent Tamper. A smaller, less close-fitting tamper can leave an untamped ring of coffee around the puck. We also don't recommend the larger 58.5mm tampers. A too-close fit can dislodge the puck when you lift the tamper.

Decent baskets fit most 58mm portafilters. It works with machines from Breville, Sage, La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, Slayer, Synesso, Faema, La Cimbali, Rancilio. Breville machines work with sizes between 7g and 20g.

If our basket doesn't fit your machine or you are unhappy for any reason, we'll make it right or refund your money.
