VFiPP™ Extraction Kit
Core Features & Benefits
Consistent Puck Iso-Compression
The Secret to Reduce Channeling
The bane of all baristas - channeling. VFiPP reduces the consequences of poor puck prep, so you get channel free shots each time.*
*Note: up to a minimum grind size, below which inconsistent flow can still happen.
Time Variable Compression
Broaden Your Grind Size
VFiPP is very forgiving on grind size, allowing the use of a single grind setting for all roast levels.
A Coffee Made Custom
Any Roast, Dose or Grind
Want to drink a different coffee bean every day without dialing-in? Sure. Friends or family take a different dose? Can do. Want to reduce the bitterness of that dark roast by pulling a coarser grind, no problem.
VFiPP Isolates Your Machine
Less Backflushing
No spent coffee water will flow back through your expensive machine when using a VFiPP plate.
Broad Grind Size Forgiveness
Save Time & Cut Waste
For those who take their cup of joe with milk and don't care so much about "peak nuances in fruit tasting notes", VFiPP saves time, frustration, and dial-in waste.
For Experimentalists
Extract at Any Grind Size
Want to explore how that coffee bean will taste at a different grind size? Different VFiPP constricting buttons allow for a broad grind size exploration, all with the same espresso timings.
Our Recommendation
VFiPP Is Ideal For Milk Drinks
Perfect for beginners or coffee drinkers who just want a consistent, reliable espresso base for milk drinks - without turning espresso into a "weekend project".
* Alas, VFiPP won't help a damn with your latte art skills ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't Risk a Bad Shot
Some Moments Really Count
When the coffee has to be perfect the first time, choose VFIPP for unparalleled shot reliability and consistency.
VFiPP 58mm Silicone Plate
How It Works
Introduction
VFiPP is a completely new extraction technology that introduces a time-varying but iso-compressive force across the puck's surface. Different "flow number" buttons will result in a higher or lower compressive force on the puck, which can slow or increase shot times and allow you to use different grind settings. VFiPP plates come with a set of flow buttons with "flow numbers" on them; these buttons mount in the central slot in the VFiPP plate. The higher the button’s "flow number" – the faster the espresso flow – the finer you can grind, and vice versa. The lower the button’s "flow number" – the slower the shot – the coarser you can grind or the lower dose you can use.
Our Recommendation on VFiPP
Our recommendation is that VFiPPs produce a reliably high extraction espresso ideal as a base for milk drinks. As an espresso, VFiPP shots produce an intense, complex, higher-body espresso — but slightly muted in sweetness, clarity, and fruit notes; as such, they may appeal only to a select group of espresso aficionados.
Machine Compatibility
VFiPP extractions work best at lower pressure, preferably around 6 bar, so you'll need an espresso machine that can alter pump pressure. VFiPPs can work on 9-bar machines with higher "flow number" buttons.
Basket Recommendation
Our recommendation is that VFiPPs are best suited for what we term a "crema-breaking or air-lock releasing" basket, i.e., one with at least 3,000 holes like our custom VFiPP basket (model: VF-58-H35mm-3K) or, for example, the WAFO Classic or Spirit 35mm tall basket. Straight-wall baskets or baskets with hole counts under 2K are not recommended; we have found they produce a slightly muted and harsher espresso due to micro-air locking.
What's Included
- 1 × 58mm VFiPP Plate (Food-Grade Silicone Certified)
- 5 × flow-constriction buttons (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9mm)
- 1 × VFiPP basket (model: VF-58-H35mm-3K)
Extras You'll Need
- 58mm paper filters (recommended on top of the puck, reusable for up to 10 shots)
- Tamper that can fit into the deeper 58mm basket
- A good WDT tool
- A means to shake your grinds post-grinding (shaking is highly recommended — almost mandatory for VFiPPs)
Beyond an Extraction Device
JLever Espresso™ - Our Core Values
Skip Expensive Pods
Buy Local Roast
Fresh, locally roasted coffee tastes phenomenal - and brewed fresh at home, it typically costs less per gram than pods. A better experience for you, your family and friends, at a lower price.

Choose Natural Caffeination
One Ingredient, Not a Hundred
Many canned caffeine drinks contain added sugar or artificial sweeteners, flavourings, and other additives. An espresso is just ground coffee beans and hot water.
Sustainability
Less Single-Use Waste
Pods, single-use containers and plastics can contribute to environmental pollution if they end up in landfills or natural environments, potentially leaching chemicals and microplastics. The world we leave behind for our next generation matters.
