All of our accessories are meant to complement and significantly enhance your brewing experience and ability! Usually, you’d begin your espresso process by using a Dosing tool to weigh the appropriate amount of beans with your Coffee Scales before grinding your fresh coffee! Their precise hole pattern reduces the likelihood of channeling, where water bypasses the coffee grounds, leading to uneven extraction and lousy espresso. Improved flow rate

VST's precision filters deliver consistent extraction performance over a wide range of concentration with reduced sediment Whether you're using a single, double or triple basket the goal remains the same, brew up some pure magic. A brew ratio is essentially a recipe, we use and recommend a brew ratio of 1 to 2. If you want to increase the intensity you can lower the brew ratio or if you prefer something a little less intense you can drag out the brew ratio to 1 to 2.2. So a single portafilter basket at 14g in and 28g out, the larger 20g basket may be 20g in and a 40g yield, given you are following the 1 to 2 ratio. What is a precision basket?
