What we liked
- + Dual-layer design: an inner filter to hold back ultra-fine particles and an outer layer that supports the mesh
- + 745 laser-drilled perforations with a straight-sided, flat-bottom shape for even contact between water and grounds
- + SUS304 stainless steel with a bottom reinforced to 0.8mm to resist deformation under pressure
Trade-offs
- - Measures 58.5mm and the listing says it does not fit certain tight or shallow 58mm group heads
- - The larger 20g and 22g versions need the plastic bottom removed from a stock portafilter, so check before sizing up
