Basket types for espresso filter papers
Choose the Basket type option that corresponds to your portafilter basket. If you have a 58mm portafilter and the wall of your basket has a clear step half-way down where it starts to taper in to a narrower base, then you have a Tapered basket. If there is is no step and no taper, then you have a Straight-walled basket. The following diagram shows the difference between the two.
At the bottom of the page you can find a table of common brands of 58mm filter baskets and the correct filter paper for each model. To know the model number of your basket, take it out of the portafilter and read the etched lettering on the side of the basket.
Choose the 51mm option if you have any of the following espresso machines: De'Longhi Dedica, De'Longhi La Specialista, La Pavoni (post-millennium), Sage/Breville 800 series, Cuisinart EM-100, Cuisinart EM-200, Dualit Espressivo, Dualit Espresso Coffee Machine or Bodum Granos.
For CNC machined baskets with completely vertical side walls and very limited internal rounding at the join to the base, such as the Weber Workshops Unifilter or the Pesado 58.5, the best fit is a to use one of our puck screen papers under the puck.
You can also choose how many units of 100 filter papers you want to purchase in the Quantity box, and how often you would like to receive your purchase in the Delivery frequency section. If you choose Subscribe and Save, you have complete control of your subscription. You can skip, reschedule, edit, or cancel deliveries anytime, based on your needs.
