filter basket

Grounds holder component

A filter basket is a perforated or mesh container that holds filtering material while liquid passes through.

The term most commonly refers to the removable basket in a drip coffee maker that holds the paper filter and grounds: I forgot to empty the filter basket and the coffee overflowed.

Similar baskets appear in deep fryers, dishwashers, and pool skimmers—anywhere solids need separating from liquid.
