Important Notice: Before purchasing, please double-check the size of the filter basket to ensure compatibility with your espresso machine. Incorrect sizing may result in a poor fit. Please make sure to check if the filter is compatible with your machine. Our filter baskets are manufactured in a standard 51mm size and come in two different heights. Please note that a tolerance of up to 0.1mm may occur due to the manufacturing process. We kindly ask you to measure the size of your filter basket or porta-filter to ensure compatibility before use. Maximum Perforation Density Dense perforation with a maximum number of 593 holes optimized for 51 mm portafilter baskets. An electro-polishing technique was used to treat the surface to create uniform holes and to protect the coffee flavor. Review: Best basketcase - Our son very pleased with this finer filter Review: Tamper and other accessories fit - This basket makes a hug’h’ difference. I’ve heard plenty about IMS filters making a difference but it’s really true. With the new basket, I don’t have channeling issue I had with a cheaper basket, and the whole process just feels elevated. Im not refined enough to exactly say what changed in the taste, but it noticeably tastes better also. Looking at IMS filters on desertcart, I noticed and was initially worried that my random assortment of tampers, distributors, etc from different companies wouldn’t fit. I don’t have any of these issues with this basket, so you can rest assured on this version. All in all, a very happy buyer, and definitely worth the 20 odd quids that I spent on this. ## Features - COMPATIBILITY: Our premium IMS Precision Filter Basket is suited for most 51mm standard portafilters.

For instance, a bit loose in the portafilter, and then the tamper does not fit inside. Managed to use it with a smaller tamper, but the coffee quality was not noticeably better than with the basket I already had, which costed four times less. Not a good value for money. ## Frequently Bought Together - HUGH, by IMS 51 mm Precision Filter Basket Competition Series Coffee Filter Basket Stainless Steel Portafilter Basket, 14-18 grams compatible with Leverpresso H26 - Normcore 51mm Puck Screen - Lower Shower Screen - Metal Coffee Reusable Filter for Espresso Portafilter Filter Basket 51mm - 1.7mm Thickness 150μm - Stainless Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/644345797-hugh-by-ims-filter](https://www.desertcart.be/products/644345797-hugh-by-ims-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
