{"product_id":"flair-58-portafilter-baskets","title":"Flair 58 Portafilter Baskets","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Flair 58 Portafilter Baskets are replacement and upgrade baskets designed specifically for the Flair 58 and 58x manual lever espresso makers. Both options are 18-gram baskets that can typically accept between 16 and 20 grams of ground coffee. Two basket geometries are available: High-Flow (straight wall) and Low-Flow (chamfered), each producing a meaningfully different extraction character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStraight Walls for Clarity and Evenness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe High-Flow basket uses a straight-walled design that promotes even water distribution across the entire puck surface. Because the walls do not taper, brew water has no preferential path through the grounds, which tends to produce a cleaner, higher-clarity shot. This geometry rewards a finer grind setting and is used most often with light and medium roasts where clarity and brightness are the goal. The High-Flow basket does not come standard with the Flair 58 or 58x, so it is the basket to reach for when you want to explore a different extraction profile than the one the machine ships with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChamfered Edges for Texture and Easier Dial-In\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Low-Flow basket has chamfered (angled) edges and fewer exit holes, which funnel brew water through the grounds in a more controlled path. That restriction allows for a coarser grind while still achieving full extraction, and it generally makes the dial-in process more forgiving. The result is a shot with more viscosity and texture, qualities many espresso drinkers associate with a traditional, full-bodied cup. The Low-Flow basket ships as the standard basket with all Flair 58 and 58x machines, so it is the reference point for anyone who already owns one of those brewers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18-gram rated capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e both baskets accept a dose range of approximately 16–20 grams of ground coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Flow straight-wall geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes even extraction and high shot clarity; requires a finer grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Flow chamfered geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e fewer exit holes funnel water for more viscosity and texture; allows a coarser grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlair 58 and 58x compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to fit the Flair 58 and 58x portafilter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo distinct profiles:\u003c\/strong\u003e choose the basket that matches your roast preference and extraction style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eHigh-Flow 18gr (Straight Wall)\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eLow-Flow 18gr (Chamfered)\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBasket geometry\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStraight wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChamfered edges\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRated dose\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e18 g (accepts 16–20 g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e18 g (accepts 16–20 g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExit holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFewer (restricted flow)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShips standard with Flair 58 \/ 58x\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible machines\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlair 58, 58x\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlair 58, 58x\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThese baskets suit Flair 58 and 58x owners who want to explore a different extraction profile than the one their machine shipped with, or who need a spare basket. The High-Flow basket is a strong choice for those who favor light or medium roasts and want a cleaner, more transparent shot. The Low-Flow basket suits those who prefer a fuller-bodied, more textured espresso and appreciate a more forgiving grind window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese baskets are not compatible with Flair models other than the Flair 58 and 58x. They do not fit the Flair PRO 2, PRO 3, 49 PRO, Classic, NEO, 2GO, or Signature brew heads. They are also not a substitute for a quality grinder capable of reaching the fine grind settings espresso extraction requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the High-Flow and Low-Flow baskets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Flair 58 High-Flow basket has straight walls and a standard number of exit holes, which distribute water evenly across the puck for a cleaner, higher-clarity shot best suited to light and medium roasts with a finer grind. The Low-Flow basket has chamfered edges and fewer exit holes that restrict flow, producing a shot with more viscosity and texture while allowing a coarser grind and a more forgiving dial-in process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the High-Flow basket come with the Flair 58 or 58x?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The High-Flow straight-wall basket does not ship as standard equipment with the Flair 58 or 58x. The Low-Flow chamfered basket is the one included with those machines. The High-Flow basket must be purchased separately if you want to try that extraction profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow much coffee do these baskets hold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eBoth the High-Flow and Low-Flow Flair 58 portafilter baskets are rated at 18 grams and can typically accept a dose between 16 and 20 grams of ground coffee, giving some flexibility depending on your preferred recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich Flair models are these baskets compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThese portafilter baskets are designed for the Flair 58 and 58x only.
