IMS Competition Precision Filter Basket

This basket is specifically designed for La Spaziale espresso machines. It is also compatible with select models from Astoria CMA and Wega that utilize a 65 mm border diameter.

You should use a 53 mm tamper. This size is specifically matched to the basket's internal dimensions to ensure an even, consistent tamp across the coffee puck.

The ridgeless design allows for a smoother, more consistent extraction and makes it significantly easier to knock out the spent coffee puck after brewing. It also prevents coffee grounds from getting trapped in a ridge, which can happen with traditional baskets.

The 641 micro-holes, each 0.30 mm in diameter, are precision-engineered to provide a more uniform flow of water through the coffee bed. This balanced delivery helps prevent channeling and ensures you get a more consistent, flavorful extraction from your beans.

Because this basket is optimized for a specific puck ratio and height, you may find that your previous dose needs slight adjustment. Its 28.5 mm height is designed to maximize the use of the coffee puck, so you may need to dial in your grind or dose slightly to achieve your preferred extraction.
