{"product_id":"convex-filterbakje","title":"Convex Filter Basket","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhy a convex filter basket? Hugo's experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I (Hugo) started roasting coffee beans at home, I kept getting stuck with light roasts. They gave hardly any crema and ran through way too fast, no matter how fine I ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the shape of the Convex Filter Basket, I don't have to grind as fine and I still get a lovely shot! My medium and dark roasts taste sweeter and rounder too, the harsh edge is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does it work? Because a convex filter basket tapers towards the bottom, the basket itself builds up more resistance. That means you can grind coarser without your shot running too fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recommend this basket to anyone who uses a bottomless portafilter and wants to discover what else their coffee has to offer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy golden tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e do a short pre-infusion. It helps prevent channeling. Let a little water run onto the coffee first, let it rest for a moment, and only then start the extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTested against step-down baskets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe develop our tools by testing what really works at home. Hugo and Debbie are our resident tasters, so they tested and compared lots of convex and step-down basket shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis convex filter basket came out on top, both in ease of use and in its effect on taste. With a step-down basket you need extra tools, like a tamper with a smaller diameter. With this convex filter basket you get a similar effect while simply using the tools you already have at home!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, built to last a lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for light and medium\u003c\/strong\u003e roasts, but also suitable for darker roasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTapered (convex) design\u003c\/strong\u003e to build up pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e58 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: tapers from 58 mm to 34 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 18-22 g of coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e54 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: tapers from 54 mm to 32 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 33 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 16-18 g of coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConvex filter basket for your machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Convex Filter Basket is available in 54 mm and 58 mm.
