Does any one use a single shot basket? I have a Breville single wall single shot that came with my BDB, I have tried it and find it makes a good cup of americano of a morning. I have been using a 18gm VST and I think the coffee is a lot smoother with the single basket. Was wondering if there is a better quality basket to buy.

The single is actually a double and the double a triple, not many people use a real 7 gram single for their coffee, hence why Breville made their baskets the way they did.
I use a 15 gram VST into which I put 21.5 grams which essentially is a triple, I only draw the shot for 25 - 30 seconds.
I don't think it comes down to quality, it's more about what YOU LIKE.

As SS says ultimately you use what works for you, but http://coffeesnobs.com.au/brewing-eq...e-baskets.html explains some of the shortcomings of traditional single baskets and why doubles should normally give better results.
