About the Product
A simple way to greatly improve the consistency of your espresso.
Improved Espresso Quality:
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 lugo with minimal or no change in grind setting at a fixed dose.
Wide outlet angle to prevent filters from clogging, anti-wear design ensures uniform performance for life of product.
Competition Class:
Each new VST Precision Filter is optimised for use with specific capacities in dose
weight of coffee. The 20g VST Competition filter is the the preferred dose used in
WCE and WBC competitions, and in many specialty cafes and coffee shops.
Precision Fabrication:
Built with unprecedented precision, all VST Filters are WARRANTED for ZERO
DEFECTS. Holes are formed using a new micro-machine and finishing process and are supplied with quality control photographs of your exact basket.
100% of holes are measured on every filter for min/max range and hard limits on area and diameter to a precision of better than +/- 30 µm
All holes are measured for circularity, placement, square area and blocked holes
Filters are matched for total square area opening to +/- 5% to ensure identical group-to-group performance. (Typical filter baskets vary from -50 to +100%).
The hole pattern is centred to +/- 1.0 mm and placement is oriented for uniform extraction throughout the entire puck.
Genuine Products With Full Traceability:
Each VST filter is marked with a unique 2-D code to ensure authenticity and specifications. The 2-D code stores factory measurement, quality reports and image data.
Compatibility:
VST baskets are designed to fit most 60mm porafilters, however the larger sizes are deeper than most stock baskets and can generally only be used with bottomless portafilters.
We recommend using 58.4mm competition tampers with VST baskets for the best results. Please take a look at our tamper range here to see our various stock models.
Outside Diameter - 60mm (for all sizes)
15 Gram Depth - 22mm
18 Gram Depth - 24.2mm
20 Gram Depth - 26mm
22 Gram Depth - 28mm
Supplied Boxed.
I bought the VST Ridgeless Filter Basket for my son to try in his Lelit Bianca after having successfully used one in my ACS Minima. The VST baskets performed superbly in both machines, improving consistency, extraction and taste. Worth every penny.
I have found the VST Filter Basket delivers consistent results, removing the variable results delivered by stock baskets. It's not cheap but it certainly delivers value for money.
Great upgrade for my 2013 Gaggia Classic. I use a Sage Dose Control Pro and wasn’t sure if it’d be up to the task but it’s coped fine, with a bit more adjustment still available. Seems like the basket sits a bit higher in the stock Gaggia portafilter as I can’t turn it very far when locking it in now but it seals fine so that’s all that matters. Really improved my shot consistency, great upgrade.
Using with a Gaggia classic and the flow is better with it.
Absolutely recommended as first thing to upgrade if your coffee machine doesn't come with a precision basket already. Get one!

Let customers speak for us
from 1634 reviewsExactly what I was looking for and easy to order from Clumsy Goat coffee. Fast delivery. It's delicious and very festive.
Well made kettle and delivered very promptly.
I'm a beginner to proper espresso machines but after a few tries it all came together. I'd previously used a few different bean to cup machines but the La Pavoni machine paired with the grinder has changed how I make coffee and added to the whole taste and the experience. The people at Clumsy Goat were helpful and understanding - I am very grateful to them.
Love waking up to Clumsy Goat coffee beans
I have tried many beans and wasted a lot of money
For the quality of beans the price is belting this review is about all Clumsy Goat beans
I love this product, great taste and not as sweet as most which is a big bonus for me….
I highly recommend lumpy Goat Coffee. They have excellent communication skills and kept me informed about my delivery by email every step of the way. Delivery was prompt. The coffee machine I ordered was very well packaged and protected during the delivery process and arrived at the time and date I was given. I will not hesitant to buy from Clumsy Goat Coffee again.
Thank you for your excellent service.
I recently ordered some Brazilian Super Crema coffee beans from clumsy goat and it was lovely I will definitely order again
We love this coffee in the office and at home. Great service and quick delivery.
Mahlkönig Vario Home Grinder Hopper Complete
It’s a good little grinder, taking up minimal space, very quiet and consistent. The adjustments work well and the result is excellent.
Such a good syrup, I add it into my coffees, hot chocolates and cokes and it tastes excellent and has a proper banana taste. Thank you!
We are thrilled with these grinders - it’s our 3rd one! We use them as our second grinder in our bars for decaf, single origins and other speciality coffees. They also look totally cool.
Iv been ordering of Clumsy Goat for a few years now and alothe iv tried others i always come back because there coffee is unbeatable iv never had a bad batch keep up the good work.
I’ve been using the Zuma range for quite some time now, 11 years to be precise, and the quality particularly of the hot chocolate, is incredible. Packed full of flavour, my customers love that it’s vegan and it’s great to work with. Ordering from Clumsy Goat is always brilliant. Fast delivery, super customer service. Very happy, thank.
Eureka Mignon arrived on Tuesday morning after ordering on the Sunday. Great delivery. Product is insane. Super easy to set up. Completely changed my coffee workflow and got it dialed in straight away. Second shot was perfect. Also came with the dosing funnel which it said it wouldn’t, so that was a nice surprise
