Precision Standard Double Portafilter Basket - 12/18gr

IMS Precision Double Portafilter Basket - 12/18g

A precision-machined double portafilter basket from IMS, sized for a 12-18 gram dose in a standard 58 mm basket diameter. Precision baskets like this use laser-drilled, uniformly-sized holes rather than stamped holes, which promotes more even extraction than a typical stock basket.

PRO TIPS

• Precision baskets like this are dose-specific by design, loading well under or over the stated 12-18 g range defeats the point of the laser-drilled hole pattern, so weigh your dose rather than eyeballing it.
• A precision basket won't fix underlying grind or distribution problems, it makes extraction more even for a given prep, but channeling from poor distribution will still show up, just more visibly.
