Special Filters - Partnership Barista Improving Taste
For over six decades, espresso baskets remained virtually untouched in their design: straight or tapered walls, flat bottoms, and perforations spread across the surface. These traditional features became so standard, no one questioned them. Until now.
Bit revolution: BoB and Renato, two revolutionary filter baskets developed by Barista Improving Taste, a brand committed to elevating coffee by redesigning its most fundamental tools. Their mission is simple but radical: to enhance the clarity, balance, and tactile pleasure of espresso by fixing how water flows through coffee.
With deep roots in barista culture and sensory research, the brand is pioneering a new approach to extraction, one that brings out the true voice of the beans and gives baristas more control, more nuance, and better results.
Difference between tradition and revolution?
By choosing Barista Improving Taste products, you will use a higher percentage of your coffee puck (reducing side channeling), achieve greater consistency and playability (thanks to stabilized grinder settings), and enjoy a more balanced cup with a better aftertaste. You have to compare it to believe it.
Renato : Clarity in Every Sip
Renato is crafted for precision. Its round base and centered holes ensure a smooth, even extraction that avoids harsh channeling. The result? A clean, bright espresso with gentle acidity and floral top notes. It’s ideal for light roasts or when you want to highlight the origin’s unique character. Renato gives you clarity, balance, and a silky mouthfeel: no bitterness, no astringency.
BoB: Depth and Boldness
BoB delivers richness. With a similar curved base but subtly different flow dynamics, it pulls heavier, more rounded shots. Expect deeper body, darker flavor notes, and a velvety texture. Perfect for medium to dark roasts and single origins with characters BoB gives you strength without sacrificing smoothness. No sharp edges, just bold and balanced espresso.
