- This video marks the beginning of my 'Espresso Goodies Series' on my channel. In this episode, I unbox my new Normcore 54mm Precision High Extraction Filter Basket, which I ordered from Amazon for my new Breville Bambino espresso machine. The basket comes with a 53.3mm stainless steel puck screen and 200 paper filters, each measuring 51mm, for the bottom of the basket.
I discovered that the water flows too quickly when using this basket. Have you experienced the same issue? I’ve experimented with grinding my coffee to the lowest setting on my DF64 but no luck so far😅
I agree, that's why it's called a high extraction basket I guess. I highly recommend using paper filters both on the bottom and the top of the puck during preparation. It slows down the extraction a bit.
Teo! great videos, thnks for sharing this. May I ask, how does it compare to the IMS or 3Bomber baskets?
Thanks for the compliment and for checking out my video! This is a high extraction basket, so it comes down really fast. I grind very fine when I use it. I also have IMS and Bomber baskets, which are more traditional and don't require an ultra-fine grind. I like all three of them; they bring out different flavor notes from the same beans, which I really enjoy.
How is the basket treating you? What's your typical grind setting on your df54?
Thanks for your question! The Normcore basket has been performing excellently for me. I use it several times a week alongside my IMS Competition basket. For my DF64 grinder, I set it to 8 for medium-dark roast organic Sumatra beans, and 8.5-9 for organic dark Nicaraguan beans. I prefer the Normcore basket for back-to-back brewing sessions because of its fast extraction speed. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
