HUGH, by IMS 51 mm Precision Filter Basket Competition Series Coffee Filter Basket Stainless Steel Portafilter Basket, 14-18 grams compatible with Leverpresso H26

Wow—Amazing shots when combined with my Picopresso! The precision holes in this high performance basket actually do make a big difference in flavor (I was a little skeptical). The very slight, tiny bit of bitterness in my favorite beans is almost completely gone, and suddenly the caramel and chocolate notes are much more noticeable with a hint of berries. Great, worth every dine! Highly recommend! But for Picopresso you will need a new 51mm funnel and tamper to use this basket. I already had them. So no-brainer for me, but others should factor in that additional cost if they don’t already own these specific 51mm tools.

What a difference this made for my DeLonghi. I've only recently gotten into at home espresso and this fit an aftermarket portafilter great and is exceptionally better in quality. Works well and produces better shots with less channeling than the stock basket. Holes are more precision drilled with more of them. Shots come out sweeter and more consistent. If your basket is leaking, you may need to adjust your grind size. 100% recommend IMS baskets.

Nice upgrade for my picopresso

I bought this to replace the filter basket in a bottomless portafilter I bought recently. I was having tons of issues with spraying no matter what I tried (different grind adjustments, dose size, tamp pressure, etc). I was able to get this one dialed in quickly. It makes a good shot and I've had no issues with spraying. It also fit perfectly in my 51mm portafilter and my casabrews espresso machine.

Absolutely worth the money. It might not compare with a more expensive basket, but for the value the even water distribution and true flat bottom are worth it. My shots had a much more intense mouth feel and depth, but the Sweetness wasn't more pronounced as claimed. It helped with channeling issues, although I will note it didn't release the puck easily. Fitment is extremely tight due to ridge. 5 stars because of price, would not compare to wafo etc

This is a great filter basket, used it for the DeLonghi Dedica Duo. It fits fine and when paired with a bottomless portafilter does what it says. I gave it four stars because in the end, after trying different grind settings on my Rancilio Rocky grinder, after weighing out different amounts of coffee, after using a puck guard the espresso tasted not really different from the pressurized basket originally provided by DeLonhgi. This is not saying its not worth it--its saying it performs well as advertised but in the end with the lower end machine I didnt perceive any real value. and I soooo wanted to watch the cool effects of an extraction like you see in endless product videos about open/bottomless portafilters.

love it! The espresso tastes smoother and richer

Maybe i should have done more reading but my issue with this beautiful basket is that the borders are more raised than a regular 51 mm basket so for my Delonghi Dedica EX685 when using a bottomless portafilter it didn't fit (when I use the regular basket that comes with the bottomless portafiler they do fit!). I was able to find a workaround and dissemble the original pressurized portafilter that comes with the machine and put this basket there. This way I was able to use it but since the portafilter is not opened in the bottom I'll never be able to see how much channeling is happening. Other than that amazing quality.
