Varia ORBI Precision Espresso Basket 58 mm – precision basket for 20 g
A basket made from a single piece, with straight walls and a dense field of 650 laser-drilled holes in the base. You weigh out 20 g, distribute, tamp – and with every dose you have the same starting point for dialling in your coffee.
The ORBI Precision Espresso Basket is newly announced and available to pre-order from us.
Hole pattern and straight walls
The basket is formed from a single piece of 420 stainless steel. The walls are straight, the base is 0.8 mm thick, and each of the 650 laser-drilled holes measures 0.26 mm. It is the basket Varia supplies with the Varia ORBI PRO – so as a replacement you get exactly the same geometry.

Who it's for
For anyone with an ORBI PRO looking for a second basket or a replacement, and for anyone with a portable Varia ORBI who wants to switch to the precision basket. A good fit if you weigh your dose precisely and compare recipes.
You'll find more baskets among our precision baskets and filter baskets. Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Varia. You'll find the full range in our Varia collection.
Roastery tip: A 20 g dose in the precision basket suits dense, chocolatey roasts nicely. We like to use Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, and for a fruity cup Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
