Description
xOverview
The Verybarista IMS Precision Competition Series Filter Basket is engineered for a versatile espresso routine on 54mm portafilters. Sized for 17–22 grams, it pairs with many 54mm Breville/Sage machines, delivering a design that emphasizes efficient water flow and balanced extraction. This basket leverages IMS’s signature M-pattern hole layout and a rounded interior to help water travel smoothly from edge to center, supporting both medium and light roasts with finer grinds. The result is a cup profile that can reveal greater body and nuanced sweetness without sacrificing clarity, all while staying faithful to the beans you choose.
Key design features
- High Extraction potential with 17–22 g dosing, optimized for finer grind sizes and lighter roasts.
- Hole pattern and geometry designed to improve water distribution, aiming for more consistent results across shots.
- Rounded internal corner minimizes sharp transitions, helping water flow and easing cleaning between uses.
- Includes a Backflush Disc designed by Verybarista with a grip-friendly silicone seal for easier maintenance.
- Durable, food-grade materials intended to withstand regular backflushing cycles for long-term use.
What you might notice in use
In practice, the combination of the basket’s geometry and the target grind can lead to a fuller body and a stable crema, especially with light roasts. You may also experience more consistent flavor distribution across shots, with notes that become clearer as you adjust grind size and tamping pressure. Real-world results vary with roast level, bean origin, and your technique, so experimentation is part of the journey.
Backflush disc and cleaning
The included Backflush Disc, designed by Verybarista, fits standard 54mm cleaning tablets and features a logo grip for handling during the cleaning cycle. The silicone construction offers a reliable seal, helping prevent tablet loss during the first backflush. This component complements regular maintenance and prolongs the basket’s usability.

Note that this basket does not fit Bambino or Temp Duo models. When pairing with your machine, ensure the portafilter and group head are clean before use to maximize water flow and extraction quality.
