Made in Italy · IMS Competition Series
IMS Precision Portafilter Basket
The single most impactful upgrade for your espresso machine — engineered in Italy with nanometric laser perforation for a flawless, channelling-free extraction.
Why the IMS Basket?
- Laser-cut holes with perfectly uniform circular diameter — eliminates channelling and uneven extraction
- High-Polish interior finish prevents coffee oil buildup for easier cleaning and consistent flavour
- AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel — the same alloy used in professional commercial machines
- Competition-grade tolerances: tighter than OEM baskets that ship with most home machines
- Noticeable improvement in sweetness, clarity and crema thickness from the very first shot

Baskets with a height of 26 mm and above (e.g. DL2TH26E for De’Longhi, B62.52TH28E for Breville) are too deep for most stock portafilters due to their plastic inner frame. These sizes are designed for use with a bottomless (naked) portafilter. If you are unsure of your current portafilter depth, we recommend starting with the standard height (24–24.5 mm) for your machine.
