I have the Pesado, and I like it. It’s very reasonably priced (i paid like $75 including shipping to US, actually it’s cheaper now cuz it’s $65 including free shipping), and definitely boosts flow rate, so you can grind finer. You need good puck prep, though, and if you use a bottomless portafilter, it’s gonna look like ugly rainfall instead of a nice single stream. I also like that the options are simple - a 17-19g medium, and a 19-21 large. Weber’s basket at $85 also seems reasonable. Do you NEED one? Definitely not. But it will let u grind a fair amount finer, so it will yield a different extraction. Considering you just shelled out for a Decent, I’m guessing that it’s not a huge deal if you spend $65 on a Pesado and don’t like it, but potentially wasting $200+ might be another story lol.
TBH, I think Wafo and Sworks are making huge mistakes offering so many options. It strikes me as being too lazy to actually do testing to figure out what works best. For every person who actually wants to spend $1000+ on having the perfect basket for every situation (assuming that the various hole patterns even yield the desired effects), there are dozens more that, if they are willing to shell out for an expensive basket, just want one that works well for a variety of situations. This game could work if the baskets were $50 and you could buy several to play around with. At $200+, they’re potentially losing a lot of customers who get analysis paralysis cuz they can’t bear the thought of wasting $200 on the wrong basket.
