It is a very solid basket and very affordable.

[@7Miralas]

Just ordered one to compare with my pullman. I tend to like more sweet shots with low acidity these days.

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Obviously it depends on coffee and how you pull a shot but on average, this should work nicely for you. Please let me know how you like it.

[@7Miralas]

After some days of use it's my favourite at the moment. Coffee has some pleasant sourness left, body has increased as well as sweetness. Thanks again!

Thanks, i have the BEP2 and the DEX. I've mainly been using the DEX as i enjoy the shots from it. I tried the BEP briefly, it was sweeter, but i wasn't sure about the texture, felt a little aerated like it was trying to create false crema. I think i'll give it another try tomorrow.

[@andrewsmithty]

my new favorite one is a not really known, extraction basket: AVX PRO 2118 58mm 18g basket (available in Hungary / europe). it has 2118 perpendicular slits. they never gush or spill even with turbo shots (even if flow rate is 5 to 8+ g / sec). would be very interested to see you try it and give your opinion.

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Wow, never heard about this one before. Thx. Will see what I can do. I’m getting 2 new baskets this week.

[@glen.moralee]

Love the video thank you. The basket sounds great. Before I get one though I’d love to know how it compares to the Pesado high flow basket as I’ve already got one of those (and I really like it except that it’s so difficult to put into the portafilter as it’s too straight). Please compare the two baskets!

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Thx for watching! I received Pesado HE already. Haven’t tried it yet. BEP is not HE basket so it will be different enough to just having both I think.

[@glen.moralee]

Ok thanks, I thought it was a different style of achieving the same thing. I’m going to place an order.

[@JimboJones99]

How does this compare to standard VST baskets? … also do you use paper filters or no need to use it with the BEP basket due to the double layer filter? … love your videos !

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Thx for watching. I don’t normally use paper filters at all. I am actually thinking about a video about this subject. Most of the time I prefer Pullman over VST hence I used it for the test. The most honest answer to your question is- I don’t know. I have soo many baskets it would be tricky to compare each and every one. I tried to describe BEP flavours as much as I could so if you have vst yourself it should as least give you some clues.

[@AdamBalcerzak-sj1zq]

Hi Jack, I’ve heard that in general baskets made by decent are better than ims and vst. What is your opinion?

[@mycoffeeshow111]

@@AdamBalcerzak-sj1zq hi, I haven’t compared them for a while but yes, in one of my tests Decent basket won with other regular basket.

[@geraldcvm332]

for HE baskets, do you prefer beans roasted for espresso or filter?

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Interesting question. Do you roast yourself? For pour overs we tend to develop beans slightly differently but I won’t pretend to be an expert. Overall I don’t really look much into it, just try and taste. Some filter coffee would taste awful for espresso. Some are great and so on. I do know that I prefer lighter roasts for he baskets.

[@CC-wolverine]

Do you need a to use a pick screen along with the bep basket or is it overkill for filtering and for the espresso shot and do you lose any body or flavor from sinc either supposed to have a mess filter in the basket already. Meaning does the shit taste flat or weak in comparison to another filter basket?

[@mycoffeeshow111]

@@CC-wolverine I hardly ever use puck screens myself and don’t think they have any major impact on tasting profile. This basket will give you sooth satisfying espresso with rounded notes. I wouldn’t say it feels weak, just less sharp.

[@CC-wolverine]

@mycoffeeshow111 okay then thank you Jack have a great day and take care

[@muhammadnajwan5078]

taste is more important than higher extraction reading 👌 Pesado HE next plz?

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Yes, I received Pesado HE yesterday. Next video will probably be about Niche Duo.

[@renesfoodpassion]

Do you think the BEP 2.0 filter basket is a good upgrade for beginners in the espresso hobby? I've had a Rocket Appartamento for a few months now and the standard baskets is not so nice or even, so I think there's still potential for flavor here (i can see it very well in your tests). I've read that some filter baskets are very difficult to adjust! But I want to avoid buying a technically better filter basket as a beginner and then setting it up becomes too difficult. it should remain simple enough for me...

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Very good question. First, check its measurements on their website to make sure it will fit in your portafilter. It should, but just in case. Basket like basket, you will be ok with it. You might need to grind slightly finer than for your stock basket. Can your grinder handle that? Otherwise, it is very cheap so you don’t risk much and it should make a significant change vs your old one. Will you like that change though - well you have to find out yourself.

[@SomeRandomBarista]

I would have two question, my first one would be how easy is it to clean this filter ? Is it as easy as a regular filter, eaysier harder ? And my second question would be could we have a true face to face between wafo and this filter, accross different coffee? To see if this win was a fluke or if this realy compares to the wafo

[@mycoffeeshow111]

1. It takes few extra seconds to clean but not as tricky as with All in One basket. 2. I know what the results would be. Wafo would always give higher extraction and the flavour notes would be stronger. Depending on coffee, profile and time of extraction it would give more or less pleasant overall espresso. Just remember, there is a reason why Wafo makes many other baskets, to suit different coffee and so on but too expensive to buy them all.

I'm curious about the BEP 2.0 basket against the IMS All In One. I have both but would also like your opinion on which one you prefer. They are similar but also extremely different.

[@mycoffeeshow111]

I did compare All in One and BEP in this video. I like them both and would think they make a great combo. All in One for lighter roasts, maybe some turbos or if you want more sharpness in your cup. BEP for thicker shots, more sweetness ect. Both relatively cheap so you may as well keep them both. How do you like them?

[@erikngomez]

@@mycoffeeshow111 I meant a bigger deep dive vs the 20 seconds or so. I think your description is overall in line with what I'm seeing and I think that's due to the membrane being denser + much wider holes on the IMS.

@@erikngomez you might be right there. Btw, for my tests I pull good few shots with each, 3 different coffees and was sharing my overall results but I see your point. I haven’t tried different profiles for example.

First of all, thanx for the comparison video. There is no other comparison video this basket except you. how much grams of coffee that you used in this BEP 2.0 (18GR) basket? Did you use puck screen ? If you used puck screen, what is the thickness of puck screen?

Thx for watching! Puck screens can be great but somehow I don’t like to use them. I have so many I could record a video about them. Yes, this is 18 g basket and I used 18g of coffee in, 45g of liquid out, in around 32sec for most of the shots.

@@mycoffeeshow111 just one more question🙏🙏 I am going to buy this basket but I have concern about the puck screen. so, if I use 18 gr coffee (medium dark roast) and 0.8mm thickness puck screen, will it fit into 18 gr basket or 20 gr basket? Thanks in advance

Interestingly enough, MWH-3BOMBER has a really nice puck screen that is very thin.....only 0.8 mm thick. I just bought a two-pack of them and have been using them the last month or so. They are not a mesh screen but like a double sided perforated disk. One side has fewer/larger holes and the other side that sits on the side of the grounds, have very, very small holes. I am a huge fan.

Hi, love your channel. Wanted to ask which refractometer are you using and do you use some kind of a filter for the measurements or just adding the espresso to the refractometer? I recently bought the All in one basket and get nice shots but with EY off just shy of 20.

[@mycoffeeshow111]

Thank you for watching. I use DIfluid, R1 i think. I want to buy something more pro if the channel takes off. I always wait till samples are of room temperature and mix them well so there are no bubbles but I don’t filter it.

[@weiszCoffee]

@@mycoffeeshow111Just posted an answer but looks like it disappeared so if you see this twice it is because I reposted again 😅. Could be cause you don't use filtration you get a higher yield than me. I use the DiFluid R2 and a different setup than yours (Ceado E37Z hero and Rocket R91). This is my video using the DiFluid the first time (didn't use any filter here) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoiTlpKIpr92jMksi=WmAB5C04MFVWyFm8 Would love to hear your opinion on it :)

@@weiszCoffee I thought DIfluid doesn’t require filtration. What ratio you use? I go for 18g-45g.

[@weiszCoffee]

@@mycoffeeshow111 Didn’t see any notes that it doesn’t so I guess it does need filtration. BTW as I understand the DiFluid is very high quality and stands side by side with professional refractometers so don’t rush to buy a more expensive one. I bought the All in one basket 15gr and pull out about 35gr depending on the beans. But I actually much prefer the IMS 7-9gr basket. I think it is the best single basket and I enjoy it better than any double basket.
