VST Precision Espresso Baskets & Refractometers


VST precision filter baskets are the reference standard for competition espresso extraction. Engineered with laser-cut holes and tight manufacturing tolerances, they reduce channelling, promote even flow, and deliver consistent brew ratios and repeatable results shot after shot. Used in global coffee championships and trusted by professional baristas worldwide, VST baskets are the upgrade most espresso setups benefit from most immediately. Available in ridged and ridgeless profiles from 15g to 25g, with a double-pack 22g option for high-volume use.

For those who want to take their analysis further, the VST LAB Coffee III Refractometer offers lab-grade measurement of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in both espresso and brewed coffee. With ±0.01% precision and sapphire optics, it gives fast, reliable extraction yield and brew strength data to dial in your coffee with confidence. Syringe filters are required for accurate espresso measurement and are stocked alongside the LAB III. Ozone is the official UK distributor for VST, and can supply wholesale to cafés and training facilities. For trade enquiries, get in touch at wholesale@ozonecoffee.co.uk.
