The IMS Precision Espresso Filter Basket is engineered to enhance coffee extraction through precise design and manufacturing. Its cylindrical shape with a flat bottom is crafted to maintain an optimal ratio between the coffee puck’s base and height, ensuring uniform extraction across the entire puck. This design also aids in drying and expulsion of the used coffee grounds. The basket incorporates IMS’s patented perforation technology, with a focus on consistency and performance for professional and home baristas.
