Works fine as expected. Now, I mostly use typical high-end coffees, and mostly ground for convenience's sake. So, that's an issue, since a non-pressurized basket needs customized ground-size. And, yes, I've got a nice burr grinder that can do the job. Mostly, I like the fit of your single-shot basket to my Gaggia handle. The small "ring" which snaps past the retainer spring is better than Gaggia's own baskets, which don't hold quite as well, and can fall out when disgorging the puck. Kudos on that feature! (even if it's a little more aggressive than necessary) Quite satisfied. One side-item to note: please refrain from sending marketing materials before a product is even received. That's overly-aggressive.
