Portafilter Filter Basket Set Lelit PLA180S for 58mm portafilter

Lelit PLA180S is a set of replacement filter baskets designed for 58 mm commercial-style espresso portafilters. These precision-cut stainless steel baskets are intended for dosing and tamping ground coffee to achieve consistent extraction in domestic and prosumer espresso machines that accept 58 mm baskets. The set provides spare or upgraded baskets for routine maintenance, replacement of worn parts, or for users who want to standardize portafilter accessories across multiple machines.

Advantages

The filter baskets are made to fit standard 58 mm portafilters, offering stable seat and alignment for repeatable shots. Machined edges and accurately sized perforations help promote even water distribution through the coffee puck. The set reduces downtime by providing ready replacements and supports consistent dosing and tamping routines, which can improve extraction repeatability when used with appropriate grind, dose and tamp pressure.

Suitable for

• Home and prosumer espresso machines with 58 mm portafilters
• Baristas and cafés needing spare filter baskets for maintenance
• Users upgrading or standardizing portafilter accessories
• Testing different basket types to optimise extraction

Key specifications

• Compatibility: fits 58 mm commercial-style portafilters
• Material: stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Function: single or double shot dosing options dependent on basket variant included
• Perforation: precision-cut holes designed for even water flow
• Finish: smooth machined rim for secure seating in portafilter

How to use

Install the filter basket into a clean 58 mm portafilter making sure it sits flush against the rim. Dose ground coffee into the basket according to the desired weight, distribute evenly and tamp with consistent pressure. Lock the portafilter into the group head and run extraction following your machine’s standard procedure. After use, knock out spent grounds and rinse the basket; periodic cleaning with a suitable detergent will maintain hole flow and hygiene.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match basket capacity to your target dose, keep grind size and tamp pressure consistent, and clean baskets regularly to prevent clogging of perforations and to maintain even extraction.
