Pressurized baskets are designed for use with pre-ground coffee or with grinders that cannot achieve the fine grind required for standard baskets. They create pressure by forcing coffee through a single small hole, allowing you to get great crema even with less-than-ideal grind quality.

Yes, this pressurized basket is compatible with all Cafelat Robot manual espresso maker models.

The pressurized basket has an internal screen and single-hole design that creates pressure mechanically, while the professional basket requires properly ground coffee to build pressure through the coffee puck itself.

While you can use it with freshly ground coffee, the pressurized basket is specifically designed for pre-ground or coarsely ground coffee. For optimal results with freshly ground beans, we recommend the professional basket.

The Cafelat Robot basket is made from high-quality stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
