IMS Precision Filter Basket
Best precision upgrade for home baristas seeking sweeter, more consistent espresso.
This precision basket uses a unique hole pattern to force water toward the center, effectively eliminating channeling for a noticeably sweeter, more balanced shot. It demands a bottomless portafilter and a disciplined puck prep routine, but the trade-off is a level of extraction consistency that standard baskets simply cannot match.
