Cooking / Culinary / Coffee | | Spanish term or phrase: cazos | Translating a small text from Spain on coffee / coffee machines, and they're talking about a "maquina con porta estrecho" (I already asked about "porta estrecho" in my last question here) but here it says:
Cazos de 53 mm para una mejor abstracción de aromas y sabores
I know cazo is some sort of bucket or holder or something, but I don't get the connection of a holder of coffee grounds (I think?) with a size in millimeters. What's the name for this in English on a coffee machine? |

| | baskets | Explanation:
The cazo is the perforated metal container that sits in the portafilter and holds the ground coffee:
"Esto es lo que tengo de la antigua cafetera, una Solac de hace más de 12 años.
Los dos de arriba a la derecha son cacillos con otro sistema de presurizado que usaba Solac en algunos de sus modelos. Originariamente venía con otro portafiltros distinto, que llevaba el disco de goma que se ve en la imagen.
Y así sería el despiece del portafiltros de mi máquina actual.
A este le quitan la parta inferior, que es de plástico negro, y compondría el mango y el bastidor del sistema de presurizado, y lo sustituyen por cualquier cosa que haga de mango y sujeción de la parte superior, que es donde iría el cazo donde ponemos el café."
There is a photo accompanying this. It's about halfway down the page

"eso suele pasar por que tienes muy enbozado el filtro del cazo del cafe , el filtro superior ( contra el que prensa el cazo del cafe) usas un cafe muy fino y al taponar los agujerillos hace que la maquina trabaje siempre al maximo de presion de bomba"

In English this is called the basket:
"The portafilter is the entire assembly of the handle, the basket, and the spouts. [...]
Some people recommend leaving used pucks of espresso in the basket to help maintain heat. [...]
Although most people think it is impractical, I believe it is important to clean the porta-filter, basket, and screen heads hourly."

"Portafilter Baskets
Most machines use a standardized portafilter basket with the volume capacity of 14 grams for the 'double-shot', but 12 gram versions are available for some machines."

Forget to say: cazos/baskets are circular, so the 53 mm must be the diameter. |
