Gaggia Filter Basket

A pressurized basket uses a specific design to create resistance, which helps generate a thick, rich crema even if your grind size or tamping pressure isn't perfectly dialed in. It is designed to make achieving a consistent espresso shot much easier for home baristas.

This specific model (11007038) is designed for Gaggia machines that utilize the pressurized portafilter system. We recommend checking your machine's manual or current basket dimensions to ensure it is the correct replacement for your specific model.

Because the basket creates its own pressure, it is more forgiving than a non-pressurized basket. You can generally use a slightly coarser grind than you would for a professional-style basket, though you should still aim for a consistent, medium-fine grind for the best flavor.

This is a double-shot basket, meaning it is sized to hold enough coffee grounds to brew two standard espresso shots simultaneously.

Rinse the basket with hot water after every use to remove coffee oils. Periodically, you should soak it in a dedicated espresso machine cleaning solution to prevent residue buildup in the pressurized mechanism, which can otherwise affect the flow and crema quality.
