VST Basket

Switched from a cheap basket to the 18g VST and the difference in flow consistency is night and day—no more channeling. Took a few shots to dial in the dose, but now every pull extracts evenly with a nice thick crema.

The 20g basket changed my morning routine completely—shots pull with way more evenness than the stock one I was using. Precise holes make a visible difference in the stream, and cleanup is actually easier too.

Finally got the 18g basket dialed in and the flow is noticeably more consistent than my old one. The precision holes really make a difference in extraction, and it fits my portafilter perfectly.
