IMS Breville/Sage Precision Filter Basket

This basket is designed for 54mm portafilters, making it compatible with popular models like the Breville Barista Express, BES878, and the Bambino Plus. Always double-check your specific machine's portafilter size to ensure a proper fit.

For the best results and to ensure an even puck compression, you should use a 54mm tamper. Using the correct size is crucial to prevent channeling and ensure consistent extraction.

The flat bottom design promotes more uniform water distribution across the coffee bed compared to standard tapered baskets. This helps reduce channeling and ensures that all the coffee grounds are extracted evenly, leading to a more balanced cup.

This basket is rated for a capacity of 16 to 20 grams of ground coffee. The exact amount will depend on your specific roast and grind size, so we recommend experimenting within that range to find your preferred flavor profile.

Yes, the 641 precisely drilled holes are designed to minimize clogging and allow for a more consistent flow rate. This precision helps you achieve a cleaner, more predictable extraction compared to the stock baskets that come with most home machines.
