“I failed to mention the reason I like this basket. It has straight, untapered sides. That means more coffee per extraction. Love that design aspect of it. The basket still sticks to the group head when I remove the pf holder in the morning. Other than that, works great. To be clear, the basket always comes down with the pf holder after extraction for dumping the puck.”
“Well made and like that it is a true double basket. Looked forward to not having a ridge. Unfortunately, without the ridge, the basket often stays with the grouphead on my Rancilio S27. Sometimes it comes down with the extracted coffee or not. Sometimes it comes down and leaves the coffee in the grouphead and the basket is half out of the pf holder. When it's empty, such as when I go to make coffee in the morning, the basket will stay behind. Without the ridge, there is no means to secure it to the pf holder.”
“A great improvement over my stock Rancilio Silvia doulbe basket. I have a PID'ed machine and wasn't producing rich/flavorful shots. After purchasing this basket and being able to updose to around 17g - 18g, the quality of my shots have improved tremendously!
The stock Silvia basket simply doesn't hold enough ground coffee.”
“Shockingly huge difference in espresso quality over stock Rancilio basket in a PIDed Silvia. Much richer, more nuanced flavor profile, and at a huge discount to VST basket pricing. Best price-to-reward ratio imaginable.”
