I've had VST baskets in the Linea at work for the last week and am pretty happy with the results so far. I'm cautiously optimistic at the moment. There has been a definite improvement in our shots, but only a small amount. As it turns out, we desperately need to put new blades in our Robur, which will be taken care of tomorrow. New baskets are nice and all, but they aren't going to show us much the way our coffee is being smashed at the moment! :o
