Comparison & Performance Insights
When tested against a standard basket using the same dark roast coffee, the DH Filter Basket produced:
- Higher sweetness with reduced bitterness.
- More balanced mouthfeel with improved textural clarity.
- Lower extraction rate (19.02% vs 19.64%) but better flavour yield.
- Lower TDS (9.78% vs 10.1%), reflecting a cleaner cup.
The result? A more nuanced and syrupy espresso—especially when dealing with darker roast profiles.
Maintenance & Cleaning
- Rinse after each use and backflush weekly to maintain optimal performance.
- Slight polish marks from production are normal and do not impact function.
- Safe for both café and home environments.
Best Practices for Brewing
- Pair with medium-dark to dark roasts for best results.
- Use even distribution tools for maximum extraction efficiency.
- Ideal for baristas using 58mm commercial machines.
