IMS Competition Filter Basket for La Pavoni Lever Post Millenium Espresso Machines Suitable for Picopresso B602TH25

Purchased as picopresso upgrade. It certainly works. Fits well, takes 18 grams of coffee, and that works well with the original tamper. The fit is a little awkward when screwing in, but it does fit and it does seal. As for functionality and what it does for flavour etc. I'm not qualified to comment. Makes a fine coffee. Not sure how much better than the original basket. Purchased on a recommendation.

If you have a Picopresso then you need one of these baskets. This well-made and well-engineered basket has enabled me to get perfect shots from my Picopresso time and time again no matter which beans I use and seems to give me more leeway on grind size.

If u want increase ur esspreso game in picopresso u need this basket. Best in it's price range.

well.... after becoming a self confessed coffee botherer , I was recommended this basket on Kev's coffe blog (thanks Kev ) I'd already bought the bottomless portafilter he recomends and then upgraded the basket to this one . inital impression very well made quality basket fits the aftermarket portafilter very well . it is incredibly tight to lock into the delonghi dedica , but its doable Makes great coffee , so I'm not moaning - Tatse is amazing , lovely thick crema

As many others on here I bought this as an upgrade to the stock basket that came with my picopresso. Works perfectly and allows an even finer grind delivering perfect extractions. Wacaco look like they may soon start selling an ims basket specifically developed for the picopresso but this works extremely well.

This IMS competition basket is built to fit post millennium La Pavoni Lever machines but it will also fit the Gaggia Factory G106 & G105 that are essentially La Pavoni machines with some style changes. I've used this basket for 6 months and it is rated for 14-16 grams, I use 20 grams for a nice ristretto. I do have to use a dosing ring as in the pictures to get that extended amount in before it's tamped but as the photo's show, there is still plenty of head volume left for water once it's tamped and in the machine. After 6 months I haven't had any holes plug up, a rinse of water every day has kept it clean and except for a few scratches from being pulled in and out of the basket hold etc it's as good as new. The holes are very consistent with no lips, burs or tear outs to be seen, the walls and base are very sturdy and all the edges are nicely rounded including the top edge which is ground smooth. All in all, I'm very with this IMS backet, it's a nice addition to my Lever machine that I've been using for 23+ years now and it still pulls a better shot than most of the top end cafe's. This little IMS basket helped with consistency, and that is key to great espresso.

fits the pico!

I ordered this for my Picopresso. It fits well and makes a significant difference in taste.

First shot out of this new basket and I am thrilled by the difference. A different flavour profile and clean taste.A worthwhile upgrade.

Yes, it works.
