IMS Competition Series Big Bang Filter Basket - 2 Cup 16-18g for Sage / Breville

The IMS Competition Series Big Bang Filter Basket (2 Cup 16–18g) is a precision upgrade for Sage / Breville 54mm espresso machines, designed to help you achieve cleaner, more consistent extractions. Featuring IMS “Big Bang” hole geometry, it promotes a more focused flow through the centre of the puck to reduce side channelling and improve shot balance. Made in Italy from high-quality stainless steel with a smooth, easy-clean finish, it’s a brilliant choice for home baristas looking to push flavour, clarity and consistency beyond the standard basket.
