IMS Competition Big Bang Basket For Breville

This basket is designed for Breville machines that use a 54mm portafilter, such as the Barista Express, Pro, Touch, and Bambino series. It will not fit Breville models that require a 58mm basket.

The unique hole pattern concentrates the water flow toward the center of the puck. This design helps minimize side channeling, which is a common issue where water bypasses the coffee grounds, resulting in a more balanced and cleaner extraction.

Yes, high-precision baskets like this often require a slightly finer grind setting compared to stock Breville baskets. Because the hole pattern is engineered for more efficient flow, you may need to dial in your grind to maintain your preferred extraction time.

Electropolishing creates a smoother, non-stick surface inside the basket. This makes it significantly easier to knock out your spent coffee pucks and prevents residue buildup, which helps keep your equipment cleaner over time.

No, this basket is specifically designed for double or triple shots. If you attempt to use a standard single-shot dose, the bed depth will be too shallow to create the necessary resistance for a proper extraction.
