This range of IMS Competition Series filter baskets is precision-engineered for 54mm espresso machines, specifically the Sage (Breville) Barista and Bambino series. Designed to replace standard stock filters, these baskets offer a calibrated flow rate and high-precision hole geometry for more consistent extractions. Compatibility These baskets feature a 62.5mm border and are compatible with: Sage / Breville 54mm models: Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino, Bambino Plus, Duo-Temp Pro, and Infuser. Tamper Size: 53.3mm – 54mm Available Sizes & Capacities Select the height that matches your preferred dose. Note: Capacity ranges are approximate and depend heavily on coffee roast density (darker roasts require more volume for the same weight). B62.52TH22E (22mm): 12g – 14g (Standard Double / Light Dose) B62.52TH24E (24mm): 14g – 16g (Standard Double) B62.52TH26E (26mm): 16g – 18g (Large Double) B62.52TH28E (28mm): 18g – 21g (Triple / High Dose) Technical Specifications Material: AISI 304 Stainless Steel (Food Safe) Border Diameter: 62.5mm Body Diameter: 54mm Perforation: 583 holes in a hexagonal pattern Hole Diameter: 0.30mm Shape: Cylindrical with a convex bottom (Corner rounding) Key Features Conical Hole Geometry The holes are individually punched with a specific conical cross-section. This design reduces hydraulic resistance and prevents obstruction, allowing for a smoother flow of soluble compounds and oils. Electropolishing The surface is treated with electropolishing to remove iron oxides and create a smoother, harder finish. This increases corrosion resistance and ensures the puck slides out cleanly after extraction. Extraction Note Due to the precision high-flow pattern, you may need to adjust your grinder to a finer setting compared to standard stock baskets to achieve optimal extraction times.
