It is the 3rd most important piece of technology in making great coffee. All our portafilter baskets have precisely calibrated holes to provide a gorgeous mouthfeel and fantastic crema. A microscopical inspection ensures that they're all perfect. The baskets fit most standard 58mm portafilters.
Si les trous dans votre filtre ne sont pas tous exactement de même taille, l'eau à haute pression se précipitera vers les plus gros trous, ce qui causera la formation de canaux (channeling) et la sur-extraction. Par conséquent, votre café aura peu de goût et sera amer.
Vous seriez surpris de constater à quel point cette petite pièce de métal a été négligée, même par des fabricants de machines chères, et produite avec des méthodes bon marché et imprécises.
Avec des trous de diamètre approprié, on obtient une bonne rondeur en bouche. On constate aussi une sorte de motifs poudreux dans la crème de café, résultant d'une proportion adéquate de particles fines lors de l'extraction du café.
Les trous qui sont trop gros laissent passer des particules dans votre tasse et créent une sensation pâteuse en bouche. Les trous qui sont trop petits se bouchent facilement.
Nous vérifions que chaque filtre est parfait avant de vous l'envoyer grâce à un logiciel d'analyse écrit par l'informaticien et expert du café, John Weiss.
Nous vous recommandons d'utiliser un tasseur à embase de 58,35 mm. Il vous évitera le cercle de mouture non-comprimée qu'on obtient avec des tasseurs moins ajustés. Nous ne recommandons pas les tasseurs de 58,5 mm. Un ajustement aussi serré peut provoquer une succion de la galette lorsque vous soulevez le tamper.
Convient à la plupart des porte-filtres de 58 mm. Fonctionnerait entre autres avec les machines de marques Breville, Sage, La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, Slayer, Synesso, Faema, La Cimbali, Rancilio. Les machines de Breville fonctionnent avec les formats entre 7g et 20g.
Si vous avez le moindre problème avec l'un de nos filtres, envoyez-nous une photo du filtre en question et nous vous le remplacerons gratuitement.
Si votre filtre ne fonctionne pas avec votre machine ou si vous n'en êtes pas satisfait pour quelque raison que ce soit, nous résoudrons le problème ou vous rembourserons.
These baskets are narrower at the bottom than the top. This allows them to copy the style of espresso made from lever machines, which use much narrower baskets. The narrower basket produces a thicker coffee puck, which in terms gives you a thicker espresso, with less channelling and more consistency. While these baskets were originally designed for darker roasts, it is now common to see them used for lighter roasts.
The ridge firmly holds the basket in, in conjunction with the retaining spring built into the portafilter. If you often take your basket out, you might be better served with a ridgeless basket. Ridged baskets are the industry standard.
The ridgeless option means that the spring holds the basket less tightly in, so that it's easier to take the basket in and out of the portafilter. Ridgeless baskets make slightly better espresso because untamped coffee grounds can't get caught in the ridge. However, this idea is new and non-traditional, and there is a risk the basket will fall out when you knock the puck out. If you rarely take your basket out, you might be better served with a traditional ridged basket.
Use this basket to make Scott Rao's Filter3 coffee with a Decent Espresso Machine.
You can buy the Filter3 basket online from Scott Rao with inexpensive shipping in USA and EU.
You will need 58mm filter paper: Chemex or equivalent. Both Decent and Rao sell the correct, precut filter paper to use, or you can cut out your own from Chemex paper.
This part sits on top of your coffee puck, holding it in place and letting hot water evenly flow onto the coffee bed.
This portafilter basket transforms your espresso machine into a device for making pour-overs.
The pattern, holes and spacing have been designed by Scott Rao. This basket shoots calibrated water streams, which create circular vortex in your coffee grounds. The streams have been calibrated to dive far into the coffee grounds, but not so far as to channel through the filter.
The end result is low-channeling/high-extraction-rate pour over coffees, totally automated and dependable. With an espresso machine.
You can use this basket on any espresso machine, as long as you can use 58mm standard baskets.
The Decent Espresso Machine includes a Scott Rao authored pour-over program, which has been optimized for this basket. With other espresso machines, you will have to program your pour over program on your own.
For creating coffee-like flow and pressure, but without coffee. This is a 58mm standard basket, with a precisely sized single hole. The single hole recreates the effect of a perfectly-ground espresso puck, giving you similar flow and pressure characteristics.
With a traditional machine, this basket can be used to help calibrate the flow rate under pressure of your pump. With a Decent espresso machine, this is useful for testing and perfecting espresso shot profiles.
Can also be used to make controlled flow infusions under pressure of tea, cinnamon and other aromatics. The basket was made quite deep, so that it can accomodate up to 25 grams of material for extraction.
We have two models, to simulate two styles of espresso. The 0.2mm basket is more appropriate for simulating (or calibrating to) medium to dark roasted coffee. The 0.3mm is more appropriate for simulating (or calibrating to) lightly roasted coffee.
