The E&B Lab Competition Moka Filter is a precision-engineered upgrade designed by IMS to address the technical limitations of standard Moka pot filters. While traditional filters often produce a “muddier” cup due to inconsistent hole sizing, this competition-grade screen focuses on extraction clarity and sediment reduction.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Photo-etched Stainless Steel (AISI 304).
• Filter Membrane: Integrated 200 µm (micrometer) mesh.
• Hole Precision: Smaller and more consistent than standard punched filters, preventing fine coffee particles from entering the upper chamber.
• Compatibility: Designed for standard aluminum and stainless steel Moka pots.

Key Performance Benefits

• Improved Clarity: The 200 µm membrane significantly reduces the “silt” or sediment common in stovetop brewing, resulting in a cleaner mouthfeel.
• Balanced Extraction: The high density of holes allows for even water distribution. This reduces the internal pressure required to pass through the coffee puck, minimizing the risk of “channeling” and over-extracted, bitter flavors.
• Ease of Maintenance: The photo-etched surface is smoother than standard stamped filters, making it easier to wipe clean and less prone to oil buildup over time.

Pro Tip: This is a direct replacement part. To install, simply remove your current rubber gasket and filter screen, insert the E&B Lab Competition Filter, and reseat the gasket.
