HUGH Leverpresso 51mm Precision Filter Basket by IMS, 14–18g Stainless Steel Competition Basket, Compatible with Leverpresso H26 and De'Longhi La Specialista 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.

This basket is amazing!!! I’m drinking real espresso for the first time ever from my cheap Deloghni. Two shots from this basket taste stronger than 4 from my old pressurized basket. I’ve stopped getting Starbucks because the taste is disappointing compared to home. I use this basket with my Deloghni EPC3630. I did not have to buy a new portafilter. I used a screw driver and removed the black plastic thing inside and the wire that sits under the Deloghni provided stainless steel pressurized basket. I cannot believe the quality of espresso I’m now getting from my cheapo espresso machine!

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.

Nice upgrade for my picopresso

Be aware: this version doesn’t fit deLonghi due to the high roll edge. It doesn’t fit grinder side (grinder would not grind), nor the brewing side (will damage gasket). I did force a brew using coffee grounded by a separate grinder, the result espresso is good though. But I will not use it anymore. Product wise, it is good product and makes good espresso.

Absolutely worth the money. It might not compare with a more expensive basket, but for the value the even water distribution and true flat bottom are worth it. My shots had a much more intense mouth feel and depth, but the Sweetness wasn't more pronounced as claimed. It helped with channeling issues, although I will note it didn't release the puck easily. Fitment is extremely tight due to ridge. 5 stars because of price, would not compare to wafo etc

The ROK stock 50mm portafilter basket generated lots compatible issues. 1st, could not hold the two cup coffee powder from the De’longhi grinder, always have too much left over ( and two cup was the minimum setting) 2nd, 51mm tamper could not go pass the ridge, cause under weighted tamping. 49mm tamper could go deeper, but left too much loose powder around the tamper. With the stock basket, the flow was always too fast, and I couldn’t feel much resistance when push down the level. This Hugh basket solved the problems, it fit the ROK portafilter handle perfectly, holds two cups coffee powder easily, work with the 51mm distributor and tamper just like in the pro-videos. With the Hugh basket, I can feel the high pressure resistance from the initial heavy press down, and the release of pressure when espresso started flowing ( probably contributed by better tamping). The espresso tastes way better with this upgrade, and I can enjoy the 51mm accessories widely available on the market.

For the price, it should have been better. I was looking to get rid of the large drops that form on the outside and work their way to the center. Once at the center everything is fine. But up till that point, there is splatter going on. (18gm coffee, 31 lb. tamper, puck screen, distributor). With bottomless portafilter. This basket did only a little better than another I had bought. It could be my Casabrews CM5418? It is a 20 bar machine. Maybe using bottomless gadgets is not a good idea for pressure machines? Not only the above, but it does have a raised lip. It would not let the portafilter rotate all the way to center lock position. I left the basket it in the portafilter and placed it into a press and flattened the rim just a touch. This made the portafilter fit as it should. I'm not sending it back because of the tweak I did. I'll keep it for a future machine. It looks well made. The tamper, distributor and screen fit perfect in this basket. Just make sure your machine will accept the raised lip if you buy this basket. The holes in the bottom are very tiny compared to my other one, as others here have stated.

Got this after the oem basket on my machine was not cutting it. This basket fit perfectly and helps make it easy to dial in your espresso.

Well built, great fit in my bellman espresso with brew head attachment.

Un upgrade clave para mejorar el espresso. Lo uso diariamente y la calidad es excelente.

I can verify categorically that the HUGO IMS 51 mm Precision Filter Basket *H30* DOES NOT FIT the De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio, EC9355.M, particularly the machine's Tamping Station. The brew head is also a very tight fit and the portafilter resisted locking completely to the right. I think this is because the lip of the basket is rounded as opposed to flat like the original basket. I am going to try the Verybarista IMS Precision 16-18g Filter Basket DL2TH26E and see if the listing for that is misleading too. I will review that item when I receive it and hopefully help people choose and not waste their time faffing about with the myriad choices for a replacement basket. I have immediately returned this and a refund has been approved. If whoever is responsible for the wording of the listing reads this, please amend the listing accordingly.

51mmのバスケットをたくさん買ってきましたが、ここまで抽出の精度が高いのはこのフィルターだけです。 他のバスケットはチャネリングが起こったり、粉量が少なく薄い抽出になってしまいますが、このフィルターではお店に近い抽出ができます。 私が買った際は送料がここまで高くなかったので、今買うのであればHUGHの公式サイトから買うことをお勧めします。参考までに東京宛てだと送料、税金込みで5,500円で2週間ほどで届きます。
