VST Precision Basket - 15 Gram Standard

Precision Basket

Excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for. Needed a new smaller basket fory coffee machine. Works great.

The 15 g basket seems to hold about 14 g comfortably. With 15 g, it’s pretty full and probably the max amount. In the picture with 2 baskets, I am comparing the VST with my 12 g regular basket that I bought last year. You can see that the holes in the VST basket are spread out a bit more and cover more of the bottom. The grind size for the 15 g VST and regular 12 g basket is similar, with a 14 gram dose in each. Also, I got the ridgeless, which is easier to pop out of the portafilter.

Well machined

I don't yet have the pallette to distinguish the taste between shots pulled fr this basket and the stock Gaggia basket, but the machining quality is immediately noticeable. This basket is very well made and works perfectly with the Gaggia bottomless portafilter.
