If you get the hole size just right, you get a gorgeous, full mouthfeel. You'll also see a kind of chocolate-powder top to your shot, from the right amount of smaller particles, called "fines", making their way into your drink.

Portafilter basket for making pour overs This portafilter basket transforms your espresso machine into a device for making pour-overs.



The pattern, holes and spacing have been designed by Scott Rao. This basket shoots calibrated water streams, which create circular vortex in your coffee grounds. The streams have been calibrated to dive far into the coffee grounds, but not so far as to channel through the filter.



The end result is low-channeling/high-extraction-rate pour over coffees, totally automated and dependable. With an espresso machine.



You can use this basket on any espresso machine, as long as you can use 58mm standard baskets.



The Decent Espresso Machine includes a Scott Rao authored pour-over program, which has been optimized for this basket. With other espresso machines, you will have to program your pour over program on your own.
