IMS Competition Convex Filter Basket for bottomless 58mm portafilters (20g) B702TCH26E

I am extremely amazed how much of a difference the basket makes in my setup. I have a Casabrews Ultra espresso machine that I have been trying to dial in for 2 months. The shots have been decent using a Kingrinder K6 and freshly roasted beans but something was always off. With my bottomless filter, the shots formed a black "rat's tail" in the beginning and only at the end of the shot was there froth that turned into a thin layer of crema. I have been experimenting with dose, grind setting, temperature and different beans etc. and the results have always been the same. My first shot using the IMS basket immediately showed a brown, frothy rat's tail and generated a good shot with good, lasting crema even though the shot ran too fast. Next time I'll grind finer and expect to finally get out of the machine what I wanted. It's amazing that the basket can make that much of a difference. When I fill it with water, it runs through at approximately the same rate as with the stock basket. But, holding it it's apparent that the bottom of the basket is much thicker than that of the stock basket. I assume that is the factor that makes the difference. For Casabrews Ultra owners, I highly recommend this basket but there is a caveat. One review here states that the basket is too tall when used with the stock portafilter holder -- I have not confirmed this. I use this replacement bottomless filter holder https://a.co/d/0bpO2LWA with no issue. This basket will probably help most espresso machine owners to pull a better shot but especially those with budget machines that came with a low quality basket. Remember you will have to dial in your grind size again and most probably have to go finer because of the thicker bottom of the basket that makes the holes deeper.

Does what it says. I really like the espresso I've brewed with it, and at 14g you can have an extra drink without getting too jittery

Some of the best shots I've pulled

If you want a no fuss method to down dose in your standard 2 spout 58mm portafilter this is the one to get. It fits which means you can shoot your shot and get on with your morning without needing your bottomless portafilter. Save that for the weekends when you want to tinker with your brew.

The baskets curve really helps decrease the stray spraying during extraction. Only problem I have is that the basket is so shiny and slick that the auto tamp feature on my Oracle doesn't work. The coffee grounds just slide and stir on the basket and dont get pressed. I found that wetting the basket first allows the grounds to stick to the basket so it can be auto tamped by the grinder. Its a extra step I had to get used too.

Works well, BUT it is a bit loose in my portafilter holder. Is the loose tolerance due to too small (minutely) for a 58mm portafilter holder, or is the portafilter holder too large??? I have no clue other than it is a bit loose. Is it magnetic? Not so much.

Wow wow wow. I use medium-dark roast. My dark roast fits in here perfectly at 18 grams in with little to no headspace (if you use a puck screen check the height or underdose). Very good price for performance and longevity. Super easy to wipe out and clean. I’ve used other high flow trendy high extraction baskets from other brands, they are “okay” at medium-dark/dark roasts but this kicks it up a notch. So syrupy and chocolaty and smooth. VELVET SHOTS.

Good craftsmanship and aesthetically pleasing. This filter basket fits snugly into the Breville stock portafilter. At first glance, it looks quite similar to the Breville filter basket and makes one wonder if the IMS Competition will make a difference. Having watched many YT videos about IMS baskets, I knew to reduce my grind setting prior to use. The Breville basket was dialed in at 18 grind with Lavazza Crema e Aroma. I decided to start at 15 and was right on the money. Wonderful aroma, perfect 1:2 ratio with a lovely crema. A quick sip to confirm the lack of bitter or acidic pungency in this pull. The coffee flavor muted by the Breville basket bloomed with the IMS basket. Nothing else changed in the workflow, so I am quite happy I replaced the Breville basket with the IMS basket finding a beautiful resulting espresso and subsequent latte. Well worth the spend.

Musiałem dokonać zwrotu.Kosz ma bardzo niską wysokość,nawet na najdrobniejszym mieleniu napar leciał zbyt szybko,średnica zewnętrzna mniejsza od standartowej - przy wybijaniu krążka kosz wypada z kolby.

No he conseguido q el filtro funcione correctamente. Hay varios comentarios iguales respecto a esto

Filtre IMS, Top comme d'habitude. Le fond convexe et la finition "glacée" très lisse permettent l'évacuation de la galette de café sans effort. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Se ajustó de manera perfecta en mi Gaggia Classic Pro, sobre el portafiltro original. Mejora de manera notable la extracción así como el manejo del café en comparación con los filtros originales. ¡Una mejora necesaria!
