Know before you buy
This basket is designed for Breville and Sage espresso machines that utilize a 54mm portafilter, including the Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino, and Infuser models.
The IMS basket features 616 precisely cut holes with a 0.30mm diameter, which promotes a more uniform extraction compared to the standard stamped holes in factory baskets. This precision engineering helps reduce channeling and results in a more balanced, consistent espresso shot.
While the basket is rated for 18-22 grams, your ideal dose will depend on your specific coffee roast and grind size. We recommend starting at 19 grams and adjusting based on your puck height and extraction flow.
Yes, because the IMS basket allows for a more efficient flow, you may find that you need to grind slightly finer than you did with your stock basket to maintain your desired extraction time.
Yes, AISI 304 stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. To maintain the integrity of the precision-cut holes, simply rinse the basket with hot water after each use and perform a regular backflush or soak in a coffee-specific detergent to prevent oil buildup.
