VST Precision Filter Basket 18g – Ridged
Ridgeless or Ridged?
In short, ridged baskets have a slight indentation that holds the basket in place. The ridgeless therefore is easier to knock out of the portafilter.
Compatibility:
Designed to fit most 60mm Portafilters (60mm is the Inside Diameter) VST Filters DO NOT fit 49, 53 or 54mm portafilters
- 20g, 18g & 15g fits most La Marzocco, Synesso, Nuova Simonelli, Faema, La Cimbali, Rancilio with standard portafilters.

- 22g, 20g and 18g are compatible with the La Marzocco SWIFT Grinder
- 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) - All VST Filters are WARRANTED for ONE-YEAR and for ZERO DEFECTS
- 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, patented anti-wear design ensures uniform performance for life of product
- Improved structural integrity, will withstand deflection from pump cycling without premature fatigue failures (see VST Warranty)

It should fit as this basket is E61, 58mm, and should be compatible with most Gaggia machines

Hello, as per what the VBM website states, the group head is an E61. VBM is not listed as compatible, but the other machines listed are E61 as well. Generally it would fit between all makes due to a standardized brew group.
Therefore it’s very likely that it will fit.
Please double check whether your VBM model uses de E61 standard.
