  • Standard filter basket size for Rocket Mozzafiato?

    I can't seem to find any info for what the standard basket sizes are for my Mozzafiato type V. The spare parts manual suggests it's either a 7 or 9 gram single. But doing a weigh test 12g seems like a better fit, and I even tend to use 13/14g in my pours. Does anyone know what sizes they come with as standard?

    I’m confused too. I’m under the assumption I was supplied with a 7g and 14g filter but the ‘7g’ one works best with 13/14g of coffee. Am I missing something? If I try to put in 7g it barely covers the base. I can get the grind right so it pours but is a slushy mess after.

      No that sounds about right. 7g and 14g are the traditional nominal sizes for single and double espresso baskets, but as you’ve discovered you’ll find most modern baskets are 9-12g for the single and 18-20g for the double. Unless you’ve got a specific reason to use it I’d put the single basket away and just use the double. A slightly under dosed double will give you a better result than and over flowing single basket.
