In this series, let's take a deep look at single shots baskets. In this part, we'll talk about the basics and the reasons behind single shots!
At Entek Coffee I have been experimenting with a lot of different unique coffee gears. This time, it's no exception. We're looking at why single-shot baskets are a thing and how much effort you need to invest to use them properly.
Let me know if you have any questions, tips, or ideas about what I should try next? Stay tuned for part 2!

Awesome video!

My approach to this was purchasing a "ridge-less" basket. With this feature, no change in grind size is required due to the lack of the "ridge" found in/associated with the traditional single basket. Not having the ridge allows you to tamp fully using the same tamper. Chris's Coffee posted a video on this several years ago and it's still on RU-vid as we speak.

Nice info! Previously, I never heard of ridge-less single shot baskets, but I have heard of single baskets that have a very gradual taper, as if only the holes are reduced in number. Theoretically, they are much easier to handle, and I think Chris's Coffee found that too (thanks for adding the reference!). On the other end of the spectrum, you also have singles that have a very abrupt taper, as if the portafilter diameter is reduced to 40 or so milimetre from ~1 cm down the rim. It's like brewing on my Flair signature. Buying both types of baskets are like trying to find a dark brown cat in my country, so I don't prioritize testing them. These IMS baskets are, however, very common. Moreover, most people who get free single baskets get these "moderately-tapered" baskets. I should've mentioned that in greater details in the video, but I'll heart your comment instead so people can read this!
