When upgrading or maintaining your Gaggia Classic espresso machine, choosing between a brass and stainless steel shower screen holder can impact performance and longevity. Brass offers better heat retention but requires more maintenance due to limescale buildup and potential tarnishing. Stainless steel is more durable, easier to clean, and corrosion-resistant, but it doesn’t retain heat as well. This guide compares the pros and cons of each material to help you decide which one best suits your espresso setup.
The VeryBarista Backflush Blind Disk, crafted from food-grade silicone, offers a new and improved design that is more flexible, safer for your machine, and more effective than traditional ruber disks. Regular use of this easy-to-use tool will keep your Breville/Sage espresso machine running smoothly and ensure your espresso tastes great with every brew.
The IMS Big BANG Precision Filter Basket is designed for coffee enthusiasts who value precision, quality, and consistency. With its laser-etched holes, superior build quality, and versatile capacity, this basket enhances espresso extraction and improves the overall taste of your coffee. It’s a game-changer for those looking to perfect their espresso routine at home, allowing you to unlock the full potential of your coffee beans.
As former coffee shop owners, we saw firsthand how passionate people are about coffee — and how many wished they could replicate that café-quality experience at home. That insight sparked VeryBarista: a mission to prove that with the right tools, making great espresso at home isn’t just possible — it’s better, easier, and way more fun than most people think.

Sips of Feedback
Extremely generous seller that handled a concern of mine gracefully. Very nice offering top of the line baskets.
Verybarista provided me with possibly the best customer service I've ever experienced. I reached out to them because my portafilter handle was developing some rust much earlier than I'd think it should. No exaggeration, I had a response from them asking for my address to ship a new PF handle to in about 2 minutes and a ship notification within 10 minutes of the original submission. Amazing!
I've bought several good products from them and their customer service is stellar :)
This seller is legit. I have already bought from them twice, first for an IMS 18-22g Breville-compatible basket, and then again for a smaller sized one. If you need a trustworthy coffee supplies merchant, they are it!
