Tough Coffee designs and builds high-quality coffee-making essentials by collaborating closely with industry professionals. Operating out of its state-of-the-art facility in Shandong, China, Tough precisely tools parts to rigorous factory standards. Here in South Africa, finding well-crafted accessories for domestic espresso setups isn't always easy. That's why we are excited to offer Tough Coffee tools tailored specifically for home baristas using portafilters smaller than 58mm.

For consistent, great-tasting espresso, upgrading your filter basket is a small investment that can have a significant impact. Available in both 51mm and 54mm sizes, the Tough Coffee Double Basket Filter is made from food-grade 304 stainless steel. The 51mm size holds 14–16g of ground coffee, while the 54mm size accommodates 16–18g. Designed to replace pressurised (dual-wall) stock baskets, this single-wall double basket is precision-stamped with micro-perforations. The holes are arranged in a high-density, uniform pattern extending right to the edges of the base, eliminating extraction "dead zones" for greater flow efficiency.

Suitable for a wide range of domestic espresso machines, including De'Longhi, SMEG, and Breville, this double shot basket for espresso portafilters features a straight-wall design. Unlike the tapered sides in stock baskets, vertical walls keep the puck depth uniform for a balanced water resistance. Please confirm your machine's portafilter size and select the correct one from the drop-down menu before purchasing.
