Espresso Single Shot Filter Baskets | Yeni güncellenen espresso single double hakkındaki bilgilere genel bakış

hi, could anyone recommend a single 51mm basket that would actually be quality? thank

I've very recently started using the single basket and I love it. Especially for ice coffee where I can pour the shot into an icy glass and add cold milk.

I still use doubles mainly for straight espresso with nothing else.

This is exactly what I was looking for!

I drink cofee at home and I am not looking for exact repetition. single basket let me experiment 4 shots as ritual every morning with different cofee blends and techniques without exceeding my daily caffeine dose. I have a modified a beautiful la pavoni PAB-16 (Similar to home saecos internally) with naked portafilter, pressure gauge, manual flow variator and PID coming soon. My single shots are delicious, small, and every one comes with a surprise. My sweet spot is 10 grams dose + 0 to 6 additional beans to achieve more or less sweetness, I use distribution with no tamping. I always get a solid puck without chaneling. Time varies between 20 to 30 seconds. Usually I look for 10 grams in 18-20 grams out. The manual flow control let me apply my manual extraction profile including preinfusion. Every shot is ligthly different and that let me sharpen my taste and brewing skills.

Italian espresso follower here. I use both stock baskets, 8g single and 16g double. It is far more easier to dial in for the double than single shot, true, but you will know you mastered your espresso prep once you get the single to extract properly. Many try and fail and don't bother ever again and move to 18, 20 and 22g baskets for their doubles and tripples.
The single basket shape is also very important, mine is just like yours in the video and that is the most optimal single shot basket these days. The straight walled "La Marzocco Strada" style basket is much more problematic and even La Marzocco themselves switched from that basket they've been using for decades to the more traditional 'Faema' style single basket. Dose 7-8g, grind 1 notch finer than for the double and tamp properly, meaing with full required and recommended force to compress the puck. Many young players use levelers/spinners for pseudo tamping claiming they "don't need to tamp"…no wonder they're struggling with pulling singles.
Single shots arent black magic, they are actually relatively easy to pull once you follow well known and proven barista workflow and techniques, meaning – the simpler and fewer steps the better.
One just needs to watch the Italian barista at work, pulling a single after single shot with great consistency and minimal steps.

I easily fit 14 gm in the single shot basket. Works well.

I don't bothered really but I did find one way to make it work which is the teaspoon technique you showed there, but you have to tamp first then add a gram or 2 and tamp again.

I have issues with it to. I am almost at the lowest setting of my grinder and water flows really fast. Dont know if it is the process or the filter that is defective

Sono Italiano (napoletano per essere precisi) e possiedo una Lelit Bianca, anch’io vado avanti ad estrazioni singole. Purtroppo però non posso usare meno di 11 gr di macinato altrimenti il caffè viene giù una schifezza. Il cestello singolo non è creato per i 7 gr, sarebbe impossibile estrarre un caffè di 7 gr, dovrei metterci i grani non macinati per riempirlo con solo 7 gr. Comunque per via di questo problema assumo troppa caffeina e spesso posso prendere solo un paio di caffè al giorno e poi devo fermarmi. Esiste una soluzione buona per il single shot?

I feel like the single baskets could benefit from the "use an aeropress filter" technique.
