MHW-3BOMBER 58mm Espresso Filter Basket, 15g Double-layer Stainless Steel High Precision Extraction Portafilter Basket Filter Fits Most 58mm Portafilter/Tamper, Ridged, FB5627-OS

This was surprisingly a great basket! So much better than the ones that came with my machine. Fits perfectly - Cleans up easily - Very well made - Thick and Secures nicely in Portafilter handle - Puck comes out without much effort - Functions very nicely - Pips in and out making removal so easy - Worth every dollar spent

Works great! Perfect for 18 gram espresso shots. Fits 58 portafilter like a glove!

I almost didn’t buy this because I have a couple more expensive baskets, but I’m glad I did. This is the best of the 4 baskets that I own. It has great rigidity and doesn’t bow in the middle during a shot like many thinner baskets do. Because of this, though, you will need to make sure your WDT and tamping is on point to avoid channeling. This basket will make you pay for your mistakes. The fine holes on the inside of the basket prevent coffee grounds from seeping through, so you probably won’t need paper filters. Also, the holes don’t seem to get clogged with coffee grounds like some other baskets. The basket snaps in well and holds in place well. The only issue I’m having is that the lip may be slightly larger or smaller (a fraction of a mm) so I need to twist in the portafilter with a lot of force to prevent it falling out during a shot. This issue may be due to the portafilter, though - I’m not sure. The last thing I’ll say is that this 22g basket can do a full 22g shot, which is nice because some baskets can hold a gram or two less than advertised. I think I’ll buy the 18g version of this basket, too, for smaller coffees.

This is very well made. The water flow is fantastic but you may have to go a bit finer on the grind. This is way better than the stock basket with Gaggia. The taste was way better too. Cleaning is not to bad. The design is good to. It work good with my Gaggia EVO but you cannot turn the portafilter all the way.

Great basket! Even works better with a puck screen.

The BEP Butterfly 2.0 20g filter basket is the real deal -- this made a noticeable improvement in my daily espresso routine! Previously my go-to basket was the IMS Big Bang 22g. The first thing I noticed with this change is that each shot is more nutty and sweet with a creamier mouthfeel. A secondary benefit is that I'm not seeing channeling spray anymore. My normal shot prep is to weigh, grind, weigh-again, then use a dosing funnel to load, WDT tool to break any clumps and sort fines, a distributon tool to level, a 30lb spring-loaded tamper to pack, and a mesh puck screen on top, followed by a 5 second pre-infusion before drawing the shot at 8.9 bar steady pressure.

I bought this because I wanted to start using paper filters and needed a basket with straight sides. This basket is working great. It just BARELY squeezed into my naked portafilter, which I believe is a standard Rancilio size (the machine is a Profitec Pro800). I’m glad I don’t have to remove it often. I’m pulling great shots and I really like using filters. I have adapted to having to knock out the spent puck. With my tapered basket I could shake it out. The straight sides of this basket require a bit more violence to dislodge the puck but I’m keeping it.

Update: customer service reached out and kindly offered a solution while also explaining the issue with compatibility. Highly recommend the seller. Doesn't fit Casabrews ultra because the lip is too thick. As popular as the machine is, an incompatibility message would be nice. Instead I had to waste time and couldn't tell ya how well they function.

Good

One side of the basket has an unfinished weld between the inner and outer parts, which creates a path for water to flow through too easily. This also causes the inner filter to be uneven, resulting in poor extraction. I'm pretty disappointed—especially since I bought a grinder from the same brand and was really impressed with the quality. I expected the same level of craftsmanship from this basket. I’ll reach out to the seller for support. Edit: I reached out to MHW who sent me a replacement. It looked fine at first, but showed the same issue after a few espressos.

La cesta es de buena calidad, pero el ajuste en el portafiltro no es exacto, queda un poco suelta, tiene juego, no tanto como para salirse del portafiltro pero no totalmente firme.

Buena canasta de 12g
