Decent ridged and ridgeless espresso baskets

Savvy coffee drinkers who prefer 15g doses for medium-light to medium-dark roasts tend to use this basket to extract a 28g to 36g double espresso. You can also make a pleasant ristretto with a 15g yield, especially with darker roasts and shorter extraction times: around 18 to 22 seconds.

This is the most commonly sized basket, useful for both light and dark roasts, across ristretto and double shots. This basket also comes standard with the Decent Espresso machine.

Cafés use 20g baskets often, especially for ristrettos at a 1:1 ratio to avoid grassy notes often found in lighter roasts. It leaves extra headroom in the basket than an 18g basket, allowing the puck to expand.

This larger basket typically fits only a bottomless portafilter, but it also works for our v2 and v3 double sprouted portafilter head. Use a 22g basket to make a thicker espresso from a darker roast or to make ristrettos from lighter roasts, similar to the 20g basket. A large dose of 22g also helps to avoid channeling, especially in fast-paced cafe environments.

Special Offer

For Italian-style single espresso shots with coffee ground doses between 9 and 11 grams. Because of the thin puck, this basket works best at lower pressures (such as 6 bar) and shorter extractions (such as ristrettos).

This basket is used to block the water flow on the portafilter and exclusively for cleaning. One is included with all our espresso machines.
