Pesado He[%] - High Extraction Basket | Review 

Come on, taste the coffee

What an awesome quality, twice as heavy as an average basket. Cheaper than the Weber basket. My best buy so far.

Great video! Question - what is that rectangle shape screen attached to the espresso machine?

I bought this basket and was very impressed with the quality, but wasn’t able to enjoy it with my Decent portafilter funnel as the top of the basket is flat; the funnel would not close around the top and coffee leaked out. Fast forward to the arrival of my new P64 with its own custom portafilter funnel, so I tried the HE basket again. OMG! In combination with the P64 and my La Marzocco, the Pesado HE basket produced absolutely phenomenal shots, with rounder but deeper flavors than my formerly favorite IMS precision basket. This new basket is brilliant, and I’m so glad I spent the money. The IMS basket is now retired

Finally, a basket that extract coffee like it smell!!!!

Great Explanation

Create basket that promotes high even flow so that it does not clog and restrict flow like nornal basket. Now start grinding turkish powder so as to get same flow on old basket 😂

I like the idea of this basket, and it looks great, but the thing that's increasing the extraction is the fining of the grind size; not necessarily the difference in the basket. That being said, I think if you had time to think about a script for the video, or if you make another video about the product, you may mention since you are able to get a higher flow rate, you're able to grind more finely to produce a coffee which has a bit higher extraction without adding too much brew time.

Thanks for this video! I recently got this basket and I love the extraction I get from it. I find myself grinding finer and getting noticeably more flavour. I have noticed one persistent issue with it that I don't have a solution for: I get fines stuck in some of the holes and am unable to get them out with a brush (because the brush hairs are too big). How do I solve this?

I've had my HE[%] basket for about a week now. It does produce amazing coffee however I cant for the life of me knock the puck out of the basket. I got to seriously smack it against my knock box just to get the puck to budge (Still not falling out). Ive recently just resorted to grabbing a spoon to dig it out. Am I doing something wrong here?

Does it actually taste better? then again you can just use a 2 1/4 inch hole punch and cut up chemix paper which is a lot cheaper than buying one of these things

Hey team, will there be a smaller size for some of us who prefer Italian standard sizing of 14-16g for a double? Thank you.

I have gotten into the habit of using a paper filter at the bottom of my basket. Is that process really needed with this high extraction basket? Will using a paper filter in addition to this basket yield an even higher extraction that will be noticeable?

Italians know best!

Important info about the HE: I got mine couple of weeks ago. Although the extraction is pretty nice and you can feel a very tasty espresso, the basket has a design problem. When I knock the portafilter against knockbox the basket goes out of the portafilter every time! I even tried with two different naked portafilter (one is a Pesado naked) and the result is the same. I contacted Pesado and they suggest me to bend the clip portafilter, can you believe that? Even bending the clip it doesn't work well.

😂 this is what some would call a gimmick. Don’t get me wrong though, I have a Pesado tamper and bottomless portafilter and they’re awesome

What about taste??

Higher extraction doesn't mean better tasting coffee End of my comment

What is the purpose if you are not even gone taste the coffee... Seriously!!
