Open the compatibility guide →The trade-offs to understand
- It is an accessory, not a fix for every shot. Grind, dose, distribution and basket choice still matter.
- A click is a cue, not our measurement. We have not independently verified force accuracy, durability or extraction results.
- Size-specific purchases need care. Similar listing photos can hide different bases, diameters or versions.
- The delivered price decides the value. Compare the same option with local sellers, including shipping and return costs.
What about flat versus ripple?
Both are sold as options. We do not have controlled testing that establishes a taste advantage for either. Our starting point is the flat base for a straightforward option, not a claim that it makes better coffee.
