Know before you buy
Yes, this basket is specifically designed for the 49mm grouphead of the Elektra Microcasa a Leva. It is a direct replacement for the stock basket.
The IMS competition basket features precision-engineered, conical-shaped holes that are more uniform than standard stamped holes. This design promotes a more even extraction and reduces the likelihood of channeling.
As a double basket, it is designed for a standard dose, typically between 14 and 16 grams depending on the roast and grind size. You may need to adjust your grind slightly finer or coarser to dial in your specific coffee.
No, this is a non-pressurized, competition-grade filter basket. It relies on your grinder's ability to produce a consistent, fine espresso grind to create the necessary resistance for a proper shot.
Rinse the basket with hot water after every use and use a dedicated espresso machine detergent periodically to remove coffee oils. It is not recommended to put this in the dishwasher, as harsh detergents can affect the finish of the precision holes.
