14/18 gr IMS Precision Nanotech Filter Basket B62.52TH24NT compatible with 54mm Breville Sage Espresso machines Express, Bambino, Bambino Plus, Barista Pro (24NT)

I got the 24NT for my Barista Express. There is much more good than bad:• The good: - I am able to get better tasting shots from this than with the stock basket from Breville (the most important thing). - It has helped me reduce channeling to virtually zero. (I must add that I also use both a declumper and a calibrated distributor rather than just a tamper, so that is part of the equation, but then I did that with the stock basket and still got occasional channeling.) - I can use about an extra 1.2g~1.5g in the dose over the stock basket. - Watching the stream formation from under the bottomless portafilter, it almost immediately goes to a center stream for me. - The holes do not clog with grounds as they do with the stock basket (which take some effort to remove and cause uneven brewing).• The bad: It fits EXTREMELY tight, so much that the sides are deeply scratched from getting it in and out of the portafilter, which takes quite a bit of effort. As such, I just leave it in my bottomless portafilter for straight shots since it is more applicable to that anyway and then use the stock basket in the stock portafilter for milk drinks where I care less about great tasting shots.• The bottom line: I'm definitely glad that I purchased this even with being overly tight.

Works better than the stock filter. Fits the breville barista pro perfectly, no mods necessary.

Took me a while to fit this product but immediately it's clearly defective and too small to fit 54mm IMS baskets. Water overflows when using it!

This is evidently precision made and the coating looks good to last. The big shock on first use is that you will get far too much water and a cup of flat brown water! I significantly adjusted my grinder and still didn't get a good cup. It has taken three days to get this dialled in and it was worth the effort. Perfect flow from a naked portafilter, sweetness and cleanliness of the drink.The puck just drops out, leaving the basket pristine. I am certain that I will get consistency because of the lack of residue in the basket. I should add that I use lower mesh screens in the portafilter and I have not tried the basket without one.

Ich habe mir diese Dusche für meine Sage Barista Express Impress Touch gekauft. Wenn ich beide Duschen vergleiche, dann ist es ein riesiger Unterschied wie das Wasser aus der IMS Dusche rauskommt. Es kommt viel gleichmässiger und ich dicken Tropfen raus.Bei der Originalen kam mal hier was, mal da was. Hier ein Tropfen, da ein Strahl aber nichts gleichmässiges. Hier sieht man schon einen sehr großen Unterschied. Es bleibt auch eigentlich kein Kaffeemehl mehr an der Dusche hängen.Ich finde, es war ein guter Tausch.
