Angled-Wall Soft Rubber Cleaning Head – Double shot Flat-Bottom 58mm Portafilter

Cleaning Head – Flat Bottom, Angled-Wall Double Shot Portafilter (58mm)

This NS300Pro Cleaning Head is engineered for 58mm portafilter baskets with a flat bottom and angled (tapered) inner walls — a geometry found on precision aftermarket baskets and select specialty espresso machines. The full metal body paired with a purpose-built angled rubber strip creates flush, full-contact cleaning against the sloped inner wall surface, ensuring thorough coffee puck residue removal on every automated NS300Pro cleaning cycle.

Which baskets and machines use a flat-bottom, angled-wall profile?

This is the geometry of choice for specialty coffee professionals and serious home baristas using precision filter baskets, including:

• IMS Competition baskets (B70 series, 18g–22g) — widely used in specialty cafés and competitions
  
• VST precision filter baskets (15g–22g) — the industry standard for competition-grade extractions
  
• Select Gaggia Classic and Gaggia Classic Pro stock baskets
  
• Certain Bezzera and La Cimbali precision aftermarket baskets
  
• La Marzocco machines fitted with IMS-supplied baskets

Flat-bottom angled vs flat-bottom right-angle — what's the difference?

The right-angle cleaning head (sold separately) is designed for baskets with perfectly vertical inner walls. This angled-wall head is shaped for baskets whose inner walls taper inward toward the base — providing a more precise rubber-to-surface contact on these specialist geometries. If you're unsure which you need, check whether your basket walls are vertical or slightly tapered.

When to replace your cleaning head:

• The rubber strip is cracked, torn, or no longer follows the angled profile
  
• Coffee grounds are not fully cleared in a single automated cycle
  
• The metal body is bent or deformed
