Description
Pullman – Filter Baskets 58mm
The Pullman focus has always been customer satisfaction, attention to detail, and premium quality products and service. They have always matched and machined our tamper bases to fit supplied or purchased filter baskets (precision or otherwise).
The single largest problem with this, however, is the large deviation of internal diameters between and within manufacturers. This has prompted Pullman to take control and produce their own range of ridgeless filter baskets designed for a 58mm group head.
Possibly the biggest piece of mind here is knowing that multiple baskets bought (eg for a 3 group machine) will all be within spec and matched in internal diameter size by Pullman.
A Pullman tamper, perfectly matched to a Pullman filtration basket means more control over the variables affecting espresso extraction and a superior outcome for you, the coffee maker and consumer.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIDGED AND RIDGELESS BASKETS?
A: Ridged filter baskets have a groove in the side wall which a spring in the portafilter locks in to to help retain the basket in the portafilter. Ridgeless, or unridged baskets, have smooth walls and as a result generally require a stronger spring to ensure they stay in place when knocking out used coffee pucks.
SO DO I NEED A RIDGED OR A RIDGELESS BASKET?
We recommend a ridgeless basket as the walls are perfectly smooth and present no anomalies that could introduce channeling. The pucks also knock out cleaner so there’s less cleaning up to do after each shot. Since single baskets only come in ridged variants however, if you intend to buy both a double and a single basket and use a single regularly, we would generally recommend the ridged double basket to ensure the single basket can be used without having to change springs each time. The only exception to this would be if you only use the single baskets occasionally, in which case the benefit of the ridgeless basket may outweigh the minor inconvenience of having to change springs when you use the single basket. The safest option to ensure compatibility is to replace your basket with one of the same type. Theoretically, a ridgeless basket will give better results.
Please note, if your machine presently has a ridged basket it’s likely the existing spring will not hold a ridgeless basket tightly enough and you may need to buy a replacement spring.
