Sage Mand

The 54mm fit is spot-on with my tamper, and the deeper walls make dialing in way less fussy than the stock basket. My shots are running noticeably more even, and cleanup is quicker since the coffee doesn’t stick to the edges.

I was skeptical about upgrading just a basket, but the precision of these 54mm holes makes a noticeable difference in my shot's crema. Works flawlessly with my BigStep tamper, and the 18g capacity feels perfectly dialed in.

The 18g capacity is exactly what my shots needed, and it locks into the portafilter with a satisfying, snug click that makes tamping feel effortless. My extraction time has been way more consistent since switching, and the difference in crema is noticeable even to a casual drinker like me.
