Normcore 58mm Precision High Extraction Basket With Titanium PVD Coating, Precision Filter Basket, Bottomless Portafilter Basket 18 Gram For 58mm Espresso machines, 18g

Actually very nice and you DON'T have to use the paper filters. You can just wash it on the grouphead to clear 90% of the clogs, and after 2 rinses it's perfectly clean. You can use your steam wand if necessary, but it's expected due to the nature of the basket. It's normal that it gets a little clogged after use!

I’m very impressed with this high extraction portafilter basket. It really extracts the flavor from my coffee beans compared to the oem basket that comes with my espresso machine and it tastes amazing! It feels high quality and it was nice that it comes with a puck screen too. I love all normcore products if only they could sponsor me and my coffee gear addiction haha 🤣 the one downside to this basket is that it’s a snug fit and it’s very hard to take out of my portafilter compared to the oem one. Although it’s not a problem for me as I can use an another basket to pop it out.

I've had this basket as my daily driver for 3 months. My recipe: 1:1 Ristretto shot starting with 22g of coffee beans 6 ounces of milk Pros: (good size, high quality construction, tasty espresso) I really like this basket, I had been using the stock basket from Rocket prior to purchasing the Norm Core high extraction basket. The increased capacity is nice going from 18g of beans to 22g of beans. It feels pretty solid in your hands, really good construction. It gives you that espresso rain effect that I've come to love. Cons: (paper filters are required, lacks ease of cleaning) When it comes to cleaning I have to say it falls a little short. Something to note, the paper filters that come with the basket are not as optional as you might think. I've found over the past 3 months that not using the filters causes grounds to be stuck in the holes, and can make for a bad experience trying to clean. I feel this is especially so, when trying to pull back to back shots without a filter. While I prefer paper filters anyway, I think you should have good results regardless for a product at this price point.

I was hesitant, sure it wouldn't do much, but This was a HUGE improvement. I've used a Normcore bottomless portafilter for the past year with the included basket and a thin puck screen. This basket, used with the included thick puck screen, allows me to grind 3 steps finer, and was much easier to dial in. My only complaint is that it wasn't included with my Normcore portafilter.

First off, my basket came obviously used by someone who clearly did not want to use paper filters... Grinds were stuck very stubbornly into the slits/holes. I cleaned it, which was a bit of a task probably just because of how long it was sitting like that. It also did not come with a portafilter spring. I didn't see any mention of this in the product listing, so maybe they don't include that with this one, however they did for the other Normcore high extraction basket I bought (arguably that one is larger because it takes the 53mm filters instead of the 51mm included with this basket). Both of these baskets from Normcore make it difficult to lock the portafilter into the Bambino Plus. It concerns me that I might damage the machine since it is plastic. I then took the advice I saw in the comments and decided I will only use this with the included paper filters. Which are included, because even though the manufacturer wants to suggest you don't need them, cleaning this basket will always be a bit more involved due to the shape and size of the holes, so including them is an apparent suggestion that you will want to use them. There is zero cleanup when you use the paper filter (zilch, none, nada... Wipe it dry... done). Largely, I got the basket (and a few others) for my Bambino Plus so that I could grind a little finer, closer to my 58mm baskets, so that I could switch between machines more easily. The paper filter helps to go even finer, so that is another reason for me to use them. The basket does indeed allow you to grind finer than other similarly sized baskets. It's hard for me to say how much finer though. I grabbed one of the other high extraction baskets from this maker (it has much tinier holes). I used the same coffee and grind size and pulled these back to back. The other basket filled in faster, more evenly, produced a faster and better flow, and tasted better. I believe that the "slotted hole" basket would need a slightly coarser grind to match that flow. Overall: I should reserve final judgment until after I dial in, but I believe I can say that even for a relatively medium roast, I still needed to yield greater than a 1:2 ratio to avoid unpleasant acidity with this basket. I could see someone wanting this basket to make lighter roasts more achievable on the Bambino's, but from my limited testing it doesn't seem to help enough, though under dosing and larger yields will help, I don't think a 1:2 ratio will be doable. But it does help with a finer grind than other baskets, however you can go even finer with other designs. If you do want to avoid using the paper filters, I recommend soaking in cafiza regularly which helped a ton with the stubborn grinds stuck in the holes. Overall, my experience was lackluster with this basket.

I have been pulling shots of espresso for about 3 months, so I am a noob. I’m using an E61 heat exchanger and have had mixed results mostly because of lack of control of the water temp. Anyhow, I tried MULTIPLE IMS baskets including the Big Bang and found that the stock baskets that came with my machine prevented channeling and pulled better shots (less sour, silkier, consistent). I frustratingly kept returning IMS baskets and then I noticed that Normcore had a line of filter baskets and they piqued my interest. The only Normcore basket available on Amazon is 22g, I usually like to use 18-20g baskets but I have no regrets with this larger one. Their baskets come with paper filters as well as a puck screen - I have not used any of these items before but am excited to experiment. The grounds do tend to get stuck in the holes after each use but they are easy to clean out with some water and a brush, I’m sure using the filter paper prevents this. The shots are silky, I have pulled several shots with little to no channeling. Additionally, my normcore funnel actually attaches to the basket unlike my experience with IMS baskets where the magnets would not grab. Very impressed so far, will likely be purchasing more baskets from Normcore as they become available on Amazon and will try filter paper and puck screens next.

Le filtre fonctionne bien mais impossible de le mettre dans le porte filtre gaggia classic evo pro et très difficile à enlever sir d'autres portes filtres. Probablement adapté aux produits Normcore.

Good quality it does really improve the extraction I use it with the normcore 54mm bottomless portafilter it looks really nice, the only thing that I can say that is little downside is that when cleaning it after making a coffee not all coffee bits come out from the holes/groves but not a big deal properly because of the type of coffee beans. But I recommend this product a bit expensive but wroth it for the high quality.

Buena calidad.
