Know before you buy
No, this basket is specifically engineered for the 9Barista espresso machine. Its dimensions and design are tailored to fit the 9Barista portafilter and internal pressure system.
The IMS precision basket features patented perforation technology with highly uniform, polished holes. This design promotes a more consistent flow of coffee oils and water, which typically leads to cleaner flavors and improved crema compared to standard baskets.
Because this is a precision-engineered, non-pressurized basket, it may be more sensitive to your grind size. You might need to make small adjustments to your grind setting to dial in the perfect extraction, as the flow rate can be more consistent and less forgiving than a stock basket.
This is a non-pressurized, precision-engineered basket. It relies on your grind size and puck preparation to create resistance, rather than a mechanical valve.
The polished, precisely circular holes reduce friction as coffee flows through the basket. This minimizes the risk of channeling and ensures that your extraction is even across the entire coffee puck.
