Well, the title says it all. There are many fine customers who want a fantastic espresso machine, but as most of us know, the grinder is just as important. For many reasons, some espresso enthusiasts do not get a good grinder. For those that have a lower grade grinder or are using pre-ground espresso coffee, we now have a solution for you or for someone you can recommend.



We have pressurized baskets that fit pro-grade 58mm portafilters. Yeah, this is not the optimal solution, but will work for those who just do not have the room to place a good grinder or are waiting to purchase a good espresso grinder.

On some machines, they also work better for ESE pods than the specialized ESE baskets and shower screens.

How do these compare to the pressurized baskets that get shipped with Gaggia Classics?
I've been so adamantly opposed to their existence that it is depressing to see this.
It feels like a real sacrilege..... like giving up and letting the fast foodies win....
