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

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.

Great little basket. It DOES make a difference in the shot quality. I was skeptical, but now I'm a believer.I use it for both my PicoPresso and MiiCoffee EON.

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.

...for my Delonghi ECP 3630 portafilter, once I removed the plastic inside. The retainer spring inside the portafilter needed a very minor re-bending so that this basket was easier to remove and did not fall out accidentally.I paid the extra $5 because of the additional machining to the basket holes.This portafilter is a great addition to a low cost espresso maker. FYI; I removed the metal portion of the steam wand in order to expose the new, longer rubber nipple, then added a thin wire to secure the nipple in place. The wire keeps the nipple from flying off under steam pressure. This changed allows for latte art!

In short, my espresso is now much better.

So I previously had a 51mm 14g IMS precision basket with very good results. I’ve decided to go for a bigger just for brewing larger espressos. It had a learning curve more than I thought with channeling everywhere. I was in touch with HUGHINC IG page and recommend me to try different dose and grind size. After several shots and some research I found that the puck clearance or ‘overhead’ was affecting. I started with 18g and went all the way up to 22g and play with the grind size, at that point I managed to make good shots without any channeling. Shots are definitely sweeter and more complex in flavor. Fits amazingly my dedica 685

This basket makes quality shots with my old ECP3420. I can easily put in 22 grams of freshly ground coffee and get smooth shots with lots of crema every time when using a WDT tool.

High quality, makes great shots, and easy to clean!
