Gaggia Filter Basket

Yes, this basket is designed for standard 58mm portafilters. It is specifically compatible with Gaggia models including the Classic, Evolution, Baby, TS, Deco, and Ge series.

This basket is engineered for a precise 6-7 gram dose. Because it is a non-pressurized basket, you will need to dial in your grind size carefully to achieve the best extraction with this specific amount.

A non-pressurized basket gives you full control over the extraction process, allowing you to manipulate variables like grind size and tamping pressure. This typically results in a higher quality, more authentic espresso shot compared to the artificial pressure created by pressurized baskets.

Yes, you should use a 58mm tamper. Since this is a commercial-style basket, using a tamper that matches the diameter closely ensures an even puck and prevents channeling during extraction.

Not at all. Because it is a standard, non-pressurized design, it is straightforward to clean. Simply knock out the spent puck and rinse the basket under warm water after each use.
