E&B Lab NT (NanoTech) Double Espresso Portafilter Basket 58mm Ridgeless (22) Silver

This filter basket is an impressive addition to my coffee setup. It provides increased flow, accommodating very fine grinds, and excels with medium and light roast coffees, particularly single-origin ones. However, it requires careful preparation of the coffee puck to avoid channel formation and shortened extraction times. Despite this learning curve, the basket is excellent overall, particularly due to its nanotech finish which simplifies cleaning. A worthwhile investment for coffee lovers seeking to enhance their brewing experience.

Nice little basket I have this combined with MHW bomber dosing funnel and it works great and had good flow. However, the funnel does not hold as strong with this type of stainless steel. The basket has good capacity and it took me several pulls to dial in the right shot. Kind of pricey so time will tell but overall, I’m pretty pleased. It’s a little looser than the standard basket that comes with my Normcore naked Portafilter, but I’ve had no issues knocking out my pucks.

I know it is cliche, but this basket is definitely something you should buy if your are looking for a good quality basket that is nanocoated and performs well for bottomless portafilter. This is a good price for such, as there is no reason to spend over 30 dollars for any basket. Would recommend to anyone wanting to replace their OEM basket and step into the arena of quality.

I bought it after seeing on Reddit a video of this basket *not* bending under pressure from the machine. - I can say it lived up to expectations, extractions are amazing, and I can clearly notice a few streams through my bottomless portafilter meaning a more even extraction across all the puck and less channelling. - Material feels the same like IMS's other Nanotech filters (I own 2 and am very pleased with them), but the price is pretty much the same but you get a better result. Highly recommended!!! - It also magnetizes better to my dosing funnel than the regular precision baskets. - Cleans easily like other nanotech filters - I'm using an ECM Casa V, pump tuned to 9 bars. comparable to Rancilio Silvia/Gaggia Classic. - Grinder is Eureka Mignon Specialita - Medium roast beans - Warning - probably wouldn't recommend only to people using a less consistent grinder such as a Breville or the simpler Ascaso models, which are quite common ones. - If you have any decent grinder - definitely a strong buy!

Like others I noticed what appeared to be channeling when using a bottomless portafilter. The espresso flow came out in what looked like crack patterns no matter what I did. I tried for days to fix the issue any other way I could, including backflushing, completely removing the shower screen to clean it, changing grind size multiple times, etc. I'm not new to espresso and I'm using decent equipment so I don't think it's me at this point, especially now that I'm seeing other reviews saying similar things. That said, the espresso that I made using it wasn't bad tasting (somehow) and TDS was close to where I expected it to be so I'm not really sure how this is occurring or if it is purely visual with bottomless portafilters, but I don't have the time or desire to deep dive this particular problem. Cutting my losses and going back to my IMS Baristapro before it becomes the cause of any other issues.

I have wanted to try one of these since they first appeared on the coffee scene several years ago. For me, using it on a Rancilio Silvia I did not experience any improvement. I did have to grind much finer to get the 25 to 30 second espresso shot pulls. Experienced a lot of channeling issues in the puck which I don't have with the standard baskets. To sum it up: this basket requires a lot of extra effort for no improvements in the cup. It does look pretty cool.

I bought this filter for a Rancilio Silvia 3. WORD OF WARNING: You'll need to buy the Silvia's accessory bottomless portafilter, because this basket is too deep for the stock one. What do you get for it? Well, if you're even looking at this item you probably already know the reasons for buying it. Principally, more consistent extraction. I was also seeking a filter that would hold a larger dose of coffee. Does the nano-coating on the E&B work? YES. Coffee pucks fall out of it very cleanly and with minimal effort. The fact that it is ridgeless helps this. The fact that its sides are cylindrical with no taper at all ALSO means that you can use a better-fitting 58.5mm tamper, instead of having to use a 56mm tamper in the stock Rancilio ridged/tapered portafilter baskets. That makes for better tamping with less mess. Before buying the E&B, I was uncertain whether I'd actually see a benefit from it. Now, AFTER buying it, I wouldn't go back.

I can’t complain. Not sure if it improves my espresso compared to the stock Gaggia basket, but this one releases the puck better so definitely improves my workflow. The advantage is the stock basket tapers, so the puck and water flow can be more consistent. It feels like an incremental improvement. It handles an 18-gram dose better than stock. Expect to have to grind finer to get to the same extraction.

المنتج ممتاز للطحنات الانعم ، وينفع مع مكاين البراشر بروفايل اكثر كونه يوجد فيه فتحات كثيره ودقيقه ما يحتاج للبراشر 9 بار ، انصح فيه وبشده والطعم لا يوصف

Really overrated

Love this product...suggested by a friend Manages the flow very well

Tiene una curva de aprendizaje y ajuste de la receta, pero desde la primera vez mejoró mucho el cuerpo del cafe, lo único malo es que (tengo la Perfect Brew con los accesorios standard) tuve que adquirir otros productos, porta filtro sin fondo y tamper para estar al nivel de la canastilla pero la recomiendo ampliamente, también una bascula con 0.1gm ayuda mucho a mejorar la receta.

Mejoró el cafe y la extracción
