IMS Breville / Sage Precision 54mm // Filter Basket 18/20 gram
IMS Cometition Series 18 - 22 gram filter basket
Fits Breville 54mm portafilters. See models in listing below
IMS part # B62.52TH28E
IMS basket is a big improvement over the one that came with my Bambino Plus. Better capacity and better coffee. Only downside is that it is a tight fit at first and can be tough to remove for cleaning. A minor inconvenience for much better results.
Fit's both my Breville portafilter and my after market bottomless portafilter very well, nice and snug. First impressions on the coffee are that I immediately had to grind a few steps finer and it's working much better with my bottomless portafilter than the stock basket did. Very pleased.

A bottomless portafilter, also known as a naked portafilter, is a specialized tool used in espresso machines. It differs from a standard portafilter in that it lacks a spout and exposes the bottom of the filter basket. Using a bottomless portafilter offers several benefits for espresso enthusiasts and baristas:
Improved shot quality: Bottomless portafilters allow you to observe the entire extraction process. This visibility can help you identify issues such as uneven tamping, channeling, or inconsistent distribution of the coffee grounds. By addressing these problems, you can improve the overall quality and consistency of your espresso shots.
Enhanced crema and flavor: A bottomless portafilter can lead to a more even and uniform extraction, resulting in a richer and thicker crema on your espresso. Additionally, by identifying and addressing issues like channeling, you can ensure that the water flows through the coffee grounds evenly, extracting more balanced and flavorful espresso.
Training tool: For baristas and home baristas looking to improve their skills, a bottomless portafilter is an excellent training tool. It provides immediate feedback, helping you refine your espresso preparation technique, including dosing, distribution, and tamping.
Aesthetic appeal: Many coffee enthusiasts appreciate the visual appeal of using a bottomless portafilter. It can make the coffee-making process feel more artisanal and showcase the beauty of espresso extraction.
Customization: Some bottomless portafilters are designed to fit various sizes of filter baskets, which allows you to experiment with different basket sizes and doses to find the extraction that suits your taste preferences best.
It's worth noting that using a bottomless portafilter does require a good understanding of espresso preparation, as it can be less forgiving of mistakes. However, with practice and attention to detail, it can be a valuable tool for improving your espresso-making skills and the quality of your espresso shots.
