Pesado He[%] High Extraction Basket – Medium

The Pesado He[%] Medium basket is a precision-machined 58mm filter basket designed for 17–19g doses. Its 1.1mm stainless-steel walls, cylindrical shape and laser-cut holes extending toward the edge are intended to increase open area and maintain basket rigidity during extraction. Check portafilter depth before purchase; the original Breville 58mm portafilter is not compatible.

Perfect For

• Breville 58mm owners using a compatible Pesado or walnut bottomless portafilter
