VST Precision Filter Basket 22g – Ridgeless
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
- 25g, 22g & 7g fits all La Marzocco and Most Synesso and Nuova Simonelli models using their standard portafilters.

Hello, your machine brand is not listed as compatible, therefore probably not.
You could still try to fit it, but it might become stuck.
Delonghi and Sage machines are designed to imitate the creation of crema and they have their own proprietary baskets, which is usually not the standard size you would expect (58mm, E61, etc)

Beautiful basket of really high quality that helps prevent channeling. It is however an incredibly tight fit within my existing portafilter, and slightly higher once installed than my standard Sage DB baskets, meaning it doesn’t turn as far to lock as I might like.
