IMS filter basket, rated 18-20g
This is an IMS type B702TFH26 basket
I strongly recommend that this basket is purchased with the machine as the basket that is supplied with the portafilter is a 14-16g basket and not well suited to modern roasts, therefore we never use it
Whilst this basket is rated as 18-20g, that must be based on a coarse grind as our use of the basket with a light roast sees a 22g dose disappear inside with no issues and plenty of headroom to spare. In my view to get the sweetness from these super light roasts with a conventional grinder, i.e. assuming you are not using an EK43 or other high yield burr set, then you need to lift the dose up into this 22g range
Whilst the 22g VST basket that i have hangs too low in our bottomless portafilter and results in the coffee 'bridging the gap' and pouring along the underside of the portfilter handle and dripping down onto the floor this basket from IMS allows you to dose high whilst avoiding the bridging issue
