The BaristaFlo Andre 3000 (Sorry Ms Jackson ;-))
These baskets have 3000 holes! These micro holes are laser cut into a 1mm thick 316 Stainless steel. A larger area of holes and holes that extend to the edge of the basket allows for a higher rate of extraction.
Quality manufacturing results in a perfectly round basket that holds 18-20 grams of coffee. The 1mm material allows the the basket to retain its shape during a 9 bar extraction.
These will work with most 58mm portafilters, however the thicker 1mm metal can create a tighter fitting portafilter.
The "ridgeless" feature means that the basket lacks the raised edge (ridge) typically found in some older-style baskets. The BaristaFLO ridgeless design makes it easier to distribute coffee grounds evenly within the basket, preventing clumps and channeling during extraction. The design makes it simple to wipe clean and rinse after each use, helping to maintain the cleanliness and flavor quality of your espresso.
Using a BaristaFLO ridgeless portafilter basket contributes to consistent and repeatable espresso extractions, which is crucial for baristas aiming for quality and precision in their coffee preparation.
When choosing a basket, it's essential to consider the compatibility with your specific espresso machine.
