“If you enjoy a challenge, this or any single shot basket may be for you. There are good reasons to try, like saving beans and possibly lowering cafestol intake, but it can be frustrating to get quality shots. I tried without much success with a stock single basket in a Rancilio Silvia, then saw this one and gave it a try. Not much better, and I can only get semi-decent results by finer grinding, overloading the basket to 11g+, and using a paper filter atop the puck. And then there's still a chance of a sloppy shot. I think I've wasted more coffee than saved using this and will go back to my doubles. Your mileage will vary.
I DO appreciate the fast and cheap shipping of EspressoParts that let me figure this out for myself.”
