Category: Accessories

Select one of two Flair 58 portafilter baskets, our Low-flow or the High-flow model. Both are 18 gram baskets, and can usually accept between 16-20 grams dose.

  • High-Flow Basket - A straight-walled basket that does not come standard with the Flair 58 or the 58x. This basket requires a finer grind to achieve proper extraction but the straight walls will extract more evenly, resulting in a high clarity shot. Used most often with light and medium roasts.
  • Low-Flow Basket - The Low-Flow basket has chamfered edges and fewer exit holes, which funnel the brew water through the grounds during extraction. These features allow for easier dial-in and an overall coarser grind. Comes standard with all Flair 58 and 58x and presents an extraction with more viscosity and texture.

John ★★★★★

The high-flow basket handles 18g perfectly, and the straight walls make cleanup a breeze compared to my old tapered one. I’ve even squeezed 20g in there without any mess, and the shots pull evenly every time.

Lily N. ★★★★★

The straight-walled design on the high-flow basket really keeps the puck uniform, and the 18g capacity handles my 17g dose without any mess. Pulls are noticeably more balanced than with my old basket, and cleanup is a breeze since nothing sticks to the sides.

Ella ★★★★★

I was worried the high-flow basket would make my shots run too fast, but the straight walls give me a perfectly even puck every time. Even with 17 grams it holds everything cleanly and the cleanup is just a quick tap.
