A deal for the coffee afficianados, particularly those into their fancy espresso gear.

Pesado is doing 15% sitewide on their AU store, with shipping starting around $10/free over $89. 'Deals' include:

  • Filter Basket normally $30, reduced to $15, then 15% off gives $12.75. The Breville 54mm baskets in particular seem pretty popular as a third-party replacement for bambino/barista express users
  • He[%] High Extraction Basket $72.25 - new style basket for those trying to chase the perfect cup with their extra light roasts. Can be bundled with their hybrid portafilter for $206.55 all up
  • Tamper $102 (both 53.5mm and 58.5mm) - paying extra for slightly fancier materials, machining and tolerances I guess?
  • Hybrid Portafilter $157.25 - naked and spouted portafiters. Two for the price of one (!)
  • Single Dose Bean Cellar 4pk $34 - test tubes for your coffee. With magnets. Bundle it with their stand for even more savings. Still cheaper albeit more spartan than the ones from Weber
  • WDT tool $37.40 - bog standard WDT tool, with replacable needles (alternatively you could 3d print one yourself and source the needles, or scrounge around aliexpress)

  • I have their filter basket - it is great build quality and going strong.

    Shame their HE baskets don't come in 54mm

    Does the 54mm 20g breville basket fit in the stock portafilter without removing the black plastic on the bottom?

      • Thanks. That’s a shame. It seems like I’ll need to spend more and get a portafilter if I want to change my basket

        • You should be able to just take out the plastic guard in the breville portafilter

    • From the product description:

      18g & 20g Baskets are not compatible with Bambino or Bambino Plus, you will need a Pesado 54mm Breville portafilter.
      The compatibility issue is due to the plastic guard inside the bambino genuine portafilters.

      Don't own one so I haven't tested it myself. I hear some 3rd party baskets might fit if you remove the plastic? Though that's doubtful with the 20g. There's a similar basket listing on Pesado's site which indicates 20g would be 26mm tall assuming they're the same shape.

      • Thanks. Checked the FAQ of the basket you linked and it seems like it is compatible:

        For 54mm models:

        the 54mm EP basket is to be used only in Pesado Breville portafilters and will fit in Genuine Breville/Sage portafilters.

        • I'd ask them before purchasing unless they specifically say it's compatible with the Bambino portafilter.

      The basket is actually one thing about Breville machines you don't really need to worry about upgrading: https://youtu.be/U2TNEhrBU5Q?si=KPrfAiY8wfGuMh6M&t=245

      • That's true

      • Completely agree. Breville stock baskets are high quality. The only reason to get the non-he baskets are for sizes.

  • Any benefit to these over the one that comes with the machine (e.g. Breville Barista Touch)?

  • Is the benefit of high extraction basket only for light roasts? I usually have medium to dark.

    • Nope, you definitely can benefit from medium to dark. Just beaware you do grind much finer so I would cut the ratio a closer to 1:1. You get a super velvety mouthfeel with strong syrupy flavours.

      • They recommend it for light to medium roasted coffee and their EP basket for medium to dark. However you can use either basket

    I just spent hundreds upgrading my gear to Pesado gear. Can recommend them

    Edit. For anyone wanting to know difference between the EP basket and the $15 Basket. Here’s a response from Pesado. I have both baskets

    both are good baskets but here are some notes that make our EP basket a better choice - electro polished, allows for less friction of water for easier flow and soaking of the coffee grounds - 936 holes compared to 715 holes - the more holes creates a faster flow, so you will be able to grind slightly finer with the EP basket and extract more coffee - both baskets share similar shapes, so both will work with the same setup - the hole making in each basket is different - the EP basket has the same hole making as the VST baskets - (holes are punched from the bottom, leaving a smooth surface on the inside of the basket while the IMS Pesado - the holes are punched from both ends in different ways - creating a crevice that some say its a plus but it does nothing special to the extraction

    • I have the vst basket Is PE better? If you have experience with vst?

    • Thanks for inquiring - I was staring at the two pages trying to figure out what difference there was as they both have the same RRP

      Interestingly, the $15 IMS basket is also listed as being electro-polished

    • Did you notice any difference in the pesado baskets vs stock ones?

      • Yes huge difference. More flavour in espresso. Cuts through the milk better for cappuccinos.

        Edit: I am grinding finer on the Pesado basket. Using Varia VS3 which is more than capable

        • By pesado basket, are you referring to the $30 EP one? Wish that was half the price like the IMS one

  • +1

    Can vouch for the quality of pesado products.
    Their naked pf is very high quality, ims baskets are great too.

    For tamp, just go with normcore.

    • Mhw-3bomber tamper from AliExpress is the go imo, nicer built, smoother action, dual calibrated and leveling. So nice for the price.

      Love the Pesado convertible portafilter though! Being able to swap from naked to spouted is handy. And stainless steel means it's as nice as the day I bought it! So good.

  • I've got their HE basket on my Rancillio Silvia and cannot recommend it enough! Really outstanding and at this price, It's a great way to try out high extraction.
