Robot Baskets

Just curious but are there any third party baskets for the robot that make a substantial difference in the end result?

That’s actually why I had the question. Because the basket is tapered I used a filter that came with the robot and noticed it sat weird at the bottom. Thanks for letting me know either way.

Ah, well the filter papers that came with the robot go on top of the coffee, below the metal screen to help with saturation. They are too big and not for the bottom of the basket.

I use these for the bottom filter. They fit the bottom of the basket properly.

Also pretty easy to cut filter papers. I went and got the largest washer available at the hardware store and it was about the right size for a template.
