I'm skeptical, but willing to spend for a few baskets to find out.

Geez.....Really?

AFAIK Synesso does not make baskets.......kinda like LM doesn't make the ridgeless that a certain CG'r made such a fuss over.

200 baskets in a personal collection...give me a break.

Teahan! Time to chime in on this one please. Save these folks.

Email sent... one 14g and one 18g. PayPal soon to follow.

Now that you mention it, the 18g basket pictured in Jon's photo does look a lot like the ridgeless basket that Dave slipped to me along with a prototype HB tamper months ago. And the 14g one looks a lot like the one that I bought years ago from 1st-line (the only two ridgeless baskets I own). I'll bust out laughing if it turns out to be the same ones.

This reminds me of the "Ultimate Upgrade" frenzy a few years back, remember? Oh, I got one of them too...

I think that I've got maybe ten. I feel so... inadequate.

You know the power of the internet is simply shocking. The baskets in this group buy are standard standard.

I'm dumbfounded by this one.........Really.

Might as well start now!

Well, if they're the same basket, the samples I have are slightly larger in diameter than my Faema-style ridged baskets. I don't mind since I Staub tamp, but those who prefer tight fitting tampers might.

Take a look at the Synesso price list here:

That's right - for the 14G and the singles. The 18g and 21g are $9.79.
Everything is plus shipping and there's a $15 handling fee for orders under $50

I have never seen the 18g basket before, and I notice it isn't listed for sale on your site either. The others do appear to be standard...
Originally I was only going to offer that one but you know how things go!

terryz wrote:What is special about these?

They are less expensive than from other sources?

OK Y'all


Everyone, please get me your paypals ASAP. I am ready to make the order this evening.
If you cannot get me your paypal today, then please at least send me an email with your promise to pay (and by when).

Basically, this thing has grown HUGE!!!
We are about to order almost $800 worth of baskets but I only have paypals for about $500


Thanks all...!!!!

Here is the updated list, please check your total.
Those with stars after their names have not successfully sent me paypal, please email me OK?
