Vst Precision Basket 18G

VST baskets are known in specialty coffee for their precise manufacturing. The holes are consistent in size and evenly spread across the base, which helps water pass through the coffee puck evenly and reduces channelling during extraction.

This basket is designed for an 18 g dose, a common double-shot dose in cafés and home espresso bars. Working with a basket built for a specific dose makes it easier to dial in your grind and recipe, and to pull consistent shots from one day to the next.

What it’s for

• Baristas, cafés and home espresso enthusiasts
• Replacing the stock basket in your portafilter
• Dialling in a repeatable 18 g recipe

Weigh each dose on a coffee scale, and use a dosing cup to move the grounds into the portafilter cleanly. Check that the basket size matches your machine’s portafilter before ordering.
