IMS Filter Basket
Best precision upgrade for home baristas seeking balanced, even espresso extractions.
This convex basket forces water toward the center of the puck, effectively eliminating the uneven extraction that plagues standard flat-bottom designs. It demands a precise grind and a disciplined puck prep routine, but the reward is a noticeably cleaner, more balanced cup that makes bottomless shots look as good as they taste.
