IMS Big Bang Precision Filter Basket for 58mm portafilters, 18-20g. double espresso (h23.5)

A very well made filter basket that is giving me consistent results. Fits my 58 mm portafiller perfectly and is ideal for my preferred 18.5 g dose.

Perfect. Good value for money

This is a brilliant piece of kit, every serious coffee user should consider having this. Seems expensive but worth every penny for a constantly perfect cup of coffee.

A lot better than the one that came with my machine Fracino Pacino fits good in the 58mm porrafilter I use about 19gr coffee 2 small cups.

With the stock basket in the Oracle Jet and the tamp fan on its lowest setting (my screw is touching barely any metal) I was getting 19.3g. With this basket on the same tamp fan setting, I’m getting 17.3g. Using Single+ shot mode I get around 37g out so perfect for me. No wavy tamp issues though I do tend to heat up the portafilter before using by purging hot water.

Very good basket to upgrade to. My shots are more consistant with this basket and better extraction.

Quality and presentation was great but unfortunately the lip on this was too deep to fit my two different 58mm portafilter heads. Anyone looking for Breville Slimline - this does not fit the group head.

Great basket for medium to dark roast espresso.

Tastes great

Bu sepettin akış tarzı diğer ims sepetlere göre daha başarılı. Kolaylıklı Nano ve compettion sepetlere oranla daha ince öğütüm yapabilirsiniz. Refraktometreyle ölçtüğünüzde çözünmenin daha iyi olduğunu görüyoruz. Fakat bununla beraber bu sepetin altında yan kısımlarda çok fazla boşluk var. Bu boşlukların oluşu oraya delik koymamasından kaynaklı akışı merkeze yönlendiriyor. Bunun bir olumsuzluğu var ki mutlaka kahve puckını sepete kenarlardan yapışıyor. Nano sepetlerdeki gibi kusursuz bir yapışmama özelliği beklememeniz gerekiyor. Sanırım bu yapışmaz kaplama bu sepetlerde mevcut değil. Orta tarafa yapışmazken çoğunlukla sepet kenalarında kahve yapışıyor. Tüm bunlara rağmen güzel bir sepet. Fakat Wafo veya Weber tarzı sepetlerin performansını beklemek büyük bir hayal kırıklığı yaratabilir...

For a couple of bucks more, you can get an IMS Big Bang basket! Why is it better? It’s made by IMS, one of the best espresso basket makers (look it up on Wikipedia). The sides and bottom of the baskets are flat making them a tighter fit in your portofilter, the holes are uniform and cut even for a better flow. These are the real deal - competition grade. Every new espresso machine should come with an IMS Big Bang basket, old machines too!

The IMS Big Bang 58mm basket has quickly become one of my favorite upgrades for espresso. What stands out most is its consistency - shot after shot, the extraction is even and predictable, which makes dialing in much easier and far less frustrating. The precision of the basket design really shows in the cup. I’ve noticed improved clarity in flavor, with balanced extractions and fewer channeling issues compared to standard baskets. It’s also a bit more forgiving, which is great whether you’re experimenting with new beans or just trying to get your morning coffee right without overthinking it. Build quality is excellent, as expected from IMS. The finish is clean, and it fits perfectly in a standard 58mm portafilter. Overall, it’s a simple upgrade that makes a noticeable difference - highly recommended for anyone looking to improve consistency and quality in their espresso.

Holds 20gs no problem even with a puck screen. Flow will be quicker then standard filter baskets. As advertised. Fits great 'no ridge" in my E61 and knock out clean is much better getting that spent puck out. Yep works better "less squirting" with bottomless porta. Enjoy!
