blown baskets

[lunchontherun]

Hi All
Split two baskets in my carameli machine last week they split around the bottom of the basket, dont understand why? Do they wear out it was 3 days apart from each other. Mass panic when running on 1 spout baskets trying to do 200 coffees a day.... I have new baskets and spares now but would like to know if any one has any ideas on why this would occur?  >

Thanks

Re: blown baskets

Gday Kell,

I dont think the baskets wear out as such but it is possible that, over time, with thousands of cycles of tamping and pulling shots, the metal will become fatigued and eventually fail. Good thing theyre cheap....
