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

Tastes great

Although I have not been able to use these as yet, I think that they will do a great job. Unfortunatley, they don't quite fit into my portafilter. They won't push down far enough for me to be able to lock the portafilter into the group head. My options are to either spend more money and obtain a bottomless compatible portafilter and gamble if it will work with my machine, try to return them as they are not cheap to buy or keep them on the basis that my current espresso machine may not last a long as perhaps I would like it to (speaking from experience, 12 months seems to be the dead line literally). I know that if I were to purchase a good semi-professional or professional machine these filters will fit, but I might have to store them for some time before that prospect comes into fluition. The filters themselves are of very good quality from the feel and look of them, but I can't really review the outcome of using them as I can't use them at this point in time.

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...

Excellent. Did exactly what I thought. Because there are more holes and they are positioned closer to the edge of the basket, the basket passes the water through it much faster than the basket that came with my Profitec Move espresso machine. So, you have to grind finer and the water will extract more flavour on its way through the puck. If you want to improve your shots, get one of these.

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.
