La Pavoni Lever IMS Competition Filter Basket

This basket is specifically engineered for 'New Group' millennium machines manufactured from 2000 onwards. It will not fit older pre-millennium models, so please verify your machine's production year before purchasing.

The competition-grade holes are polished, relaminated, and recalibrated to ensure a more uniform water flow through the coffee puck. This design helps reduce channeling and promotes a more balanced, consistent extraction compared to standard stock baskets.

This basket is designed for use in a bottomless (naked) portafilter. Because it stands 30mm high, it may be too deep to fit into the spouted portafilters that come standard with many La Pavoni machines.

While it is rated for 20g, you can typically dose slightly above or below this depending on your coffee bean density and roast level. However, for the best results, aim to keep your dose close to the 20g mark to ensure proper headspace between the coffee puck and the shower screen.

Yes, this basket is constructed from food-safe certified Aisi 304 stainless steel. It is a high-quality, durable material that will not impart any metallic taste to your espresso.
