Barista Essentials
Overview
Features
- VST's precision filters deliver consistent extraction performance over a wide range of concentration with reduced sediment
- Designed to extract properly as a ristretto, normale or lungo with minimal or no change in grind setting at a fixed dose
- Filters are matched for total square area to +/- 5% to ensure identical performance
- (typical variances of standard filters range from 50-200% of nominal open square area)
- Holes are fabricated using a new micro-machine and finishing process
- 100% of holes are measured on every filter for min/max range limits on area and diameter to a precision of +/- 20 µm (individual QC report provided with every filter)
- All holes are measured for circularity, placement, square area and blocked holes
- Hole pattern is centered to +/- 1.0 mm and placement is oriented for uniform extraction throughout the entire puck
- Wide outlet angle to prevent filters from clogging, anti-wear design ensures uniform performance for life of product
- Improved structural integrity, will withstand deflection from pump cycling without premature fatigue failures

Seperate Rocket Espresso Single Portafilter. Compatible with all Rocket Espresso machines. Come with a single, 7g basket.
Overview
The Rocket e61 Bottomless portafilter has had the spout and base removed this enables full view of the extraction as it passes through the filter basket. The quality of the extraction can be observed and the texture of the crema and then adjusted accordingly. It is also maintained by many fans of the naked portafilter that it allows the extraction to form better as there is less contact with metal.
Features
- e61 Group Head handle
- 58mm diameter
- Perfect for learning the perfect extraction
- 21g basket
Overview
Accurate to within 0.1 grams, the Smart Scale features a timer, which can be activated manually or automatically as soon as liquid hits the vessel for the ultimate precision brewing. With a water-resistant nano-coating you can rinse straight under a faucet! A large screen display shows measurements up to 2kg, as well as the timer, and an auto-off function after 60 seconds ensures a long operating life on just two AA batteries.
Six modes are in built into the software. All functions are automatically started. The scale will display time and weight for 5 seconds after the cup or vessel has been removed. This truly is a smart scale:
Auto1: This is an espresso mode. Place cup on scale and time/weight go to zero and timer start counting up.
Auto2: This is the second espresso mode: Place cup on scale and time/weight go to zero, start espresso machine and press orange timer button and scale timer starts. Remove cup and time and weight go back to zero.
Auto3: Place cup on scale, will auto tare. This is for espresso machines with built-in timers.
Auto4: Place cup on scale, will auto tare. When espresso hits the cup the timer starts automatically, weight is displayed.
Hand1: This is a pourover mode. Add brewing vessel to scale and weight goes to zero. Add coffee grounds after 3 seconds, weight goes to zero. Start adding water and weight and timer start. Remove brew vessel and both weight and time go back to zero.
Hand2: This is a manual pourover mode. User tares and starts timer.
This is the most advanced scale we’ve seen.
Features
-
Automatically times the brewing process, starting the timer as soon as liquid hits the glass.
-
Tares both time and weight once the cup or glass has been removed.
-
Nano-coating technology allows for rinsing straight under the faucet.
-
Weighing capability ranges from 1 gram up to 2 kilos.
The PESADO coffee machine Portafilter has been designed to optimise efficiency and durability.
The body and spout have been made entirely in stainless steel to increase strength and performance with heavy usage. The open spout has a precise splitting curve and the inner surface has been machined to enhance the coffee thickness during the pour. For ease of cleaning, the spout can be easily removed.
The ONA Coffee Distribution OCD V3.0 ensures you obtain consistent grind distribution. Ultimately, grind distribution is the least focussed element in espresso extraction. That is, until the development of OCD (ONA Coffee Distributor). With the announcement of V3.0, the depth is readily adjustable to brew with any dose or basket depth and it weighs 100g less!
Considering a majority of World Championship Barista are adopting it, it turns out reducing the variables in espresso extraction is an agreeable measure to aim for. With an easy grip, non-slip design, it provides a solid hold while the brass body adds durability & helps eliminate static electricity, allowing for more even, delicious espresso extractions.
The distributor is designed to move the coffee grounds consistently and evenly with four angled slopes. This eliminates the inconsistencies of coffee distribution mid service. Consistent distribution of your puck will improve the consistency of your tamping and in effect increase overall quality in the extraction.
FEATURES
Advanced Static-Reducing Coating — This eliminates any build up of grinds during use.
Set for any Dose you want — Simply loosen off the top half, set depth required and re-tighten.
Ergonomics & cleanliness— Discover a level of efficiency on the bar whilst saying adios to cracked fingers.
Exceptional Design Aspect — OCD V3.0 retains four angled slopes that when spun; level and distribute the ground coffee.
No more channelling — Consistency is key here, it removes the inconsistency between baristas distributions.
Removing Inconsistencies — The OCD’s goal. It takes the same time to create a more even & consistent puck, giving more consistent and delicious extractions.
