  • Rubber backflush disc that fits the VST baskets

    Has anyone found a rubber backflush disc that fits the VST baskets ?

    I use a 18g VST precision basket in my Sunbeam em6910 machine and neither the sunbeam grey disc nor the generic black rubber disc fit well (they are too small to create a good seal).

    Can anyone recommend a suitable disc - I don't want to have to swap out the filter each time and would prefer a rubber insert.

    Also can anyone advise if a full blind type is okay for an em6910 or does it need to have the hole just like the grey sunbeam disc?

    No, you can't use a proper blind filter for the EM6910. The back pressure would be too great. That's why the grey silicon-rubber disc that came with the machine has a small hole in it, ie, to lessen the pressure.

      The Breville 58mm disc will fit all 58mm baskets, I've used them in nearly everything with success.

      You shouldn't leave your EM6910 under full pressure with a blind disc but you can do backflushing, just make sure to shut the pump down before it sits at full pressure for too long.

        Thanks for the recommendation noidle22. I will see if I can source one of those and give it a go.
