question re: single basket with pressurized handle - 2007/01/08 15:59 When I bought my Saeco Aroma, the retailer threw in a single basket since the machine only came with a double. Today I finally decided to use the single basket.....it leaks!!! Does single basket not work with a pressurized handle?

Thanks.

Re:question re: single basket with pressurized han - 2007/01/09 09:06 I never use a single basket for anything.

Mastering the single (as anyone will tell you...) is the greatest challenge for the home espresso barista.

Re:question re: single basket with pressurized han - 2007/01/09 09:43 I don't have a picture of the single basket. It's cone shaped and the filter screen is smaller in diameter.

I read the 'Mastering the Single' by Glenn. I guess I won't be using the single basket any time soon. Also, I don't think single baskets work with a pressurized handle. Water leaks out of the handle from the group head when the brew switch is turned on.

Re:question re: single basket with pressurized han - 2007/01/09 10:18 I theory saeco tell to use the double basket for 1 or 2 shots. I dont think they make a single basket exept for the pod.

Re:question re: single basket with pressurized han - 2007/01/10 14:20 Saeco does make single baskets. It looks similar to the pod basket but the filter screen has tinier holes compare to the pod one.

I guess the single basket is not meant for pressurized handle.
