IMS Competition Big Bang Basket
Best high-capacity basket for baristas seeking balanced, channel-free espresso extractions.
This basket reengineers the physics of your shot by forcing water toward the center to eliminate side channeling. It is a brilliant tool for taming aggressive acidity and achieving a cleaner cup, though its deep 27.5mm profile requires you to double-check your portafilter clearance before committing.
