New short video: how to remove a portafilter basket


A short video I made 4 years ago inexplicably got 80 thousand views, so I thought I'd re-shoot it, using our nice new video studio.  Basically the same content, just prettier.

This little extract is part of the larger “deep dive into portafilters” video just released today.

AI Summary

  • To remove a portafilter basket, press the back of the basket to push it out.
  • If the spring is new and tight, use another basket.
  • Insert the second basket's ledge into the first, twist it, and this will pop the basket out.
  • Pull the basket out after both sides have been loosened.

This method helps with newer springs that make removal more difficult.
