58mm Blind Filter Basket

Solid stainless steel blind filter designed to assist in the back flushing of commercial and semi-commercial espresso machines.

Pop out your regular basket, insert the blind filter and perform your cleaning routine.

An important tool in keeping your coffee machine cleaned and well maintained is the 58mm Blind Filter basket.

This is used to enable you to back flush and clean the group head in your coffee machine with cleaning powder like Cafetto Cleaner.

Simple way to identify it

A normal basket = holes in the base
A blind filter = completely sealed flat base

It blocks the water flow so the pressure cleans the:

• shower screen

• solenoid valve

• group passages

• coffee oils inside the head

Honestly, it’s one of the most important daily cleaning tools behind the bar.

Not suitable for all home machines

It is not recommended for many entry-level domestic machines, especially:

• thermoblock machines

• small appliance store machines

• machines without a 3-way valve

• some Breville / Sunbeam domestic units unless the manual specifically allows backflushing

Using a blind basket on the wrong machine can:

• stress the pump

• cause leaks

• damage seals

• create overpressure

Compatibility

Suitable for most 58 mm commercial and semi-commercial espresso machines with a 3-way solenoid valve, including many prosumer home machines. Always check your machine manufacturer’s cleaning instructions before backflushing.
