IMS Portafilter Basket

Yes, this basket is designed to fit most standard 58mm portafilters. However, because of its curved bottom design, it is best suited for use with bottomless portafilters to ensure there is sufficient clearance.

The curved bottom redirects the flow of coffee toward the center of the basket. This helps prevent channeling along the edges and promotes a more even extraction, which typically results in a more balanced flavor profile.

Yes, the basket is engineered to accommodate a range of 18g to 22g. You may need to adjust your grind size slightly depending on the specific dose you choose to maintain consistent extraction times.

No, this is a precision-engineered basket designed for professional-style, non-pressurized 58mm portafilters. It requires a consistent grind and proper tamping technique to achieve the best results.

You can clean it with warm water and a mild detergent after each use. For a deeper clean, you can soak it in a coffee machine cleaning powder, but ensure you rinse it thoroughly to remove any residue.
