IMS Portafilter Basket

This basket is designed for standard 58mm portafilters. It is compatible with most professional-style machines, including E61 group heads, but you should verify your portafilter diameter before purchasing.

The IMS precision-engineered hole pattern promotes a more uniform flow of water through the coffee puck. This design helps mitigate common extraction issues like channeling, which often occur due to uneven tamping or puck density.

This basket is specifically designed for a double shot, with a capacity range of 14 to 20 grams. It is not intended for single-shot doses, as the depth and geometry are optimized for the larger volume.

Yes, you should use a 58mm or 58.5mm tamper to ensure a snug fit against the basket walls. A precision tamper that matches the basket diameter will help you achieve a more even puck surface and reduce side-channeling.

Because precision baskets often allow for a higher extraction rate than stock baskets, you may find that you need to adjust your grind slightly finer or coarser to dial in your preferred flavor profile.
