📦 Product Overview
The AVX PRO 2118 58 mm 18 g Precision Filter Basket is engineered for espresso lovers who want more consistent shots from light and medium roasted beans. Its precision micro-holes and ridgeless design promote even flow and improved extraction, especially with lighter roasts where uniform water distribution matters most.

-
☕ Designed for ~18 g doses — ideal for classic espresso ratios on 58 mm machines.
-
🎯 Ridgeless design for easy dosing, tamping, and cleaning.
-
🛠️ Compatible with a wide range of commercial and prosumer machines (E61 groups, Rancilio, ECM, Bezzera, Faema, La Marzocco style groups).

📏 Recommended tamper size: ~58–58.5 mm for best fit and consistent tamping.
🧠 Why Precision Matters
Precision baskets like this one help you extract more evenly by reducing areas of faster flow (“channelling”) that can lead to sour or bitter shots. The high hole count and uniform diameter help deliver smoother, more controlled extraction — especially beneficial for lighter roasts and nuanced flavour profiles.
