Espresso Parts 21g Ridgeless Basket

Espresso Parts 21g Ridgeless Basket

This 21+ gram portafilter basket is shaped like Sspresso Part's ever popular MZ_107A "Marzocco" Double 14 gram ridgeless basket.

The creation of perfect espresso doesn't stop at the group head. That was the stance Espresso Parts took when heading down the path looking for better portafilter baskets.

After testing a lot of baskets, they found that there was a particular basket in the bunch that performed better than the others. The result are these awesome portafilter baskets with a micro-fine finish, created utilizing a technique developed by the manufacturer.

The final process used in the manufacture of the baskets may be the most important. Not only does it leave a distinct sunburst pattern but the inside bottom of the baskets receive a final cleaning using a laser to remove any jagged edges after the perforation process. The result is that every hole in the basket is clear of metal debris and the holes are of even size and shape, allowing for a more even distribution of water through the extraction.

It stands at 28mm tall, so it will only fit portafilters that can accept a tall triple basket. It is easier to list which portafilters it will not fit. For example, it will not fit any portafilter included with an espresso machine that has the "Espresso Italiano" certification. So sorry, no go with the newer Astoria or Wega "ergonomic" portafilters because they are "Espresso Italiano" certified, and are designed intentionally to only accept a 12-gram basket. It also will not fit in La Cimbali, La San Marco, and La Spaziale because of their narrow diameter portafilters. It will fit in the Rancilio new version portafilters, but just barely.
