Selecting A Filter Basket; Single Wall Filter Baskets; Dual Wall Filter Baskets - Breville BES870 Instruction Book

SELECTING A FILTER BASKET

Single Wall Filter Baskets

Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh
whole coffee beans. Single Wall filter baskets
allow you to experiment with grind, dose and
tamp to create a more balanced espresso.
1 CUP

Dual Wall Filter Baskets

Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using pre-ground
coffee. Dual Wall filter baskets regulate the
pressure and help to optimise the extraction
regardless of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or
freshness.

Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or
Dual Wall filter baskets, use the 1 CUP basket
when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP
basket when brewing two cups or a stronger
single cup or mug.
The provided filter baskets are designed for:
1 CUP basket = approx. 8–10g.
If using pre-ground coffee, this is approx.
2 level tablespoons.
2 CUP basket = approx. 15–18g.
If using pre-ground coffee, this is approx.
2 CUP
3 level tablespoons.
If using freshly ground coffee, this is approx.
4 level tablespoons.
The reason for this difference is that pre-
ground coffee is often coarser and hence
occupies more volume than coffee that is more
finely ground.
You will need to adjust the grind amount and
size if switching from a single basket to a
double basket, or vice versa.
2 CUP
You may need to experiment with how much
coffee is inserted into the filter basket or how
long the grinder needs to run to achieve the
correct dose. For example, when using a finer
espresso grind with the Single Wall filter
baskets, you may need to increase the grind
amount to ensure the filter basket is correctly
dosed.
