Espresso Parts HQ Ridgeless Portafilter Basket - 21gr+

Espresso Parts HQ Ridgeless Portafilter Basket – 21g+

The largest of Espresso Parts' EPHQ ridgeless basket lineup, shaped after the popular MZ_107A "Marzocco" double 14-gram ridgeless basket that baristas consistently rave about, only bigger. Every hole is laser-cleaned on the inside to remove perforation burrs and leaves a distinct sunburst finish, so water distributes more evenly through the puck during extraction.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Height: 28 mm
• Material: polished AISI304 stainless steel
• Finish: laser-cleaned perforations, sunburst pattern

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: portafilters that can accept a tall triple basket
• Will NOT fit: portafilters bundled with any "Espresso Italiano" certified machine (including newer Astoria and Wega "ergonomic" portafilters, which are certified to only accept a 12-gram basket), or the narrow-diameter portafilters used on La Cimbali, La San Marco, and La Spaziale
• Fits (barely): newer-version Rancilio portafilters

INSTALLATION

Drop-in replacement, no tools needed, just confirm your portafilter has the clearance for a 28mm-tall basket first.

PRO TIPS

• It's easier to rule this basket out than in: if your machine shipped with an "Espresso Italiano" certified portafilter, skip this basket entirely, it won't seat. When in doubt, measure your current basket's height against the 28mm spec before ordering rather than guessing from the machine model alone.
