VST Filter Basket 18g Ridgeless

It’s not often a small change makes such a clear difference, but this 18g basket has completely upped my daily espresso game. The ridgeless design makes seating it in the portafilter feel effortless, and the precision machining shows in every perfectly balanced shot I’ve pulled since switching.

Pulled three shots back-to-back this morning and the flow stayed remarkably steady each time—that ridgeless design really does make seating the basket in the portafilter effortless. The 18g capacity is spot on for my usual dose, and the extraction tastes noticeably more balanced than with my old bas

The holes are drilled so evenly that my shots finally run in a single steady stream instead of spraying everywhere. Flow rate feels noticeably more balanced, and the 18g capacity is spot on for my usual dose. Took a few pulls to dial in, but the extra precision is worth it.
