Precision basket

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from stock: more even holes, often more open area. Needs a capable grinder.

What it’s for and how to use it: Pick size (e.g. 18–20 g) → dose in range → distribute → check channeling.

Cup impact or benefit: More predictable flow and cleaner sweetness with dial-in.

Technical notes: Same basket ≠ same recipe across machines. Clean oil in holes.

Common mistakes: Upgrading basket without retuning grind. Mixing unmarked baskets.
