Welcome to the world of Step Down Billet Baskets

Step down your basket diameter to get thicker pucks! This let's you grind coarser for more forgiving extractions and gives increased body.

A custom tamp-through dosing funnel is available as an option to greatly ease puck prep as they are profiled to match the basket's step. Funnels are made from anodized aluminum with orings to provide a compression fit

You can use any tamper with this (49.7mm for the 58/49 size for example). If using a leveling tamper, the outer diameter of the floating collar must be smaller than the inside diameter of the basket (machine side). See table below.

TLDR:

• Highest strength to weight rating. Baskets flex under pressure - they all do. However, the Billet Basket is 0.75mm thick and is the ONLY basket on the market properly engineered to NOT deform permanently (9 bar). Other baskets even >1.2mm thick will deform permanently - yet they are heavy with a large thermal mass. The thicker the basket, the larger the holes need to be to tame clogging. Large holes lead to gritty cups and localized extractions
• Highly magnetic
• Highest hole coverage area of any basket (i.e. 57.5mm coverage for the 58mm size)
• Due to the straight side wall, these baskets will be a tighter fit going into your portafilter. You can loosen the grip by relieving the bends on the portafilter spring
