Review: Outstanding Performance with Picopresso! - Wow—Amazing shots when combined with my Picopresso! The precision holes in this high performance basket actually do make a big difference in flavor (I was a little skeptical). The very slight, tiny bit of bitterness in my favorite beans is almost completely gone, and suddenly the caramel and chocolate notes are much more noticeable with a hint of berries. Great, worth every dine! Highly recommend! But for Picopresso you will need a new 51mm funnel and tamper to use this basket. I already had them. So no-brainer for me, but others should factor in that additional cost if they don’t already own these specific 51mm tools.
Review: Way better than stock - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much coffee powder can I fit into the filter basket?**
A: H26 is designed for about 14–18 g and H30 for about 16–22 g; in most cases 16–18 g (H26) and 18–20 g (H30) work best.

**Q: What size tamper should I use?**
A: Both H26 and H30 are 51 mm baskets, so we recommend a flat tamper around 50.5–50.8 mm, slightly smaller than the basket.

**Q: Will this basket fit my espresso machine or portafilter?**
A: This is a 51 mm non-pressurized basket, so please check that your portafilter size is 51 mm and compare the basket dimensions (top inside 51 mm, outer rim about 60 mm, height 26 or 30 mm) with the size information before purchase.

**Q: What should I check if the basket does not lock properly?**
A: Do not force it; test the basket empty, check the portafilter spring, and compare the height and rim size with your stock basket, as bigger or deeper baskets may not be compatible with some machines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by J***. on July 16, 2025*

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.
