Re: Filter Baskets for Silvia
See haow You go with the coffeeparts 14 g basket- the larger ones are definitely less watery and much richer.Originally posted by Brekel link=1159933631/0#6 date=1160085133Im using a 58mm metal tamper, with a slightly convex face, purchased from a local coffee store before I knew about this site. It doesnt seem too bad, though.
Then if that is good but not quite there, I couldnt recommend the pullman tamper highly enough- for me it is the difference between tamp knock side, tamp knock side clean off etc with the convex one (never quite reached into the edges and gave a fair bit of channeling), to fill, settle with light tamp, gently knock side moderate tamp and light polish with the pullman

Re: Filter Baskets for Silvia
Ive used the coffeeparts 14g one also 18g which needs a deeper filter handle- both are a big improvement over the tiny ones which silvia and botticelli come with
A question- what are you tamping with? I found that moving up to a godd, well fitting flat based tamper- Pullman- was as important as a larger basket

Re: Filter Baskets for Silvia
I get about 21-22g in one of theseOriginally posted by Brekel link=1159933631/0#2 date=1159958634Thanks Rayzurhed.
This one says it holds 14g, which I thought was about the same as the Rancilio one? Or does it actually fit more?
I recall seing reference to a LM basket as well - where would I find this one?

Re: Filter Baskets for Silvia
I went to coffeeparts and then to the
marzocco / group, group holder section

Dont order the biggest one cos it wont fit in the silvia!
But this one is bigger than the standard large rancilio basket. ;D
Enjoy updosed doppios.

Filter Baskets for Silvia
Ive seen several vague references to people using alternate and/or larger filter baskets in the silvia. What baskets do you recommend?
Thanks,
Brett.
