IMS Precision 14-18 g Filter Basket Compatible with 54mm Breville Sage Espresso Machines Express, Bambino, Bambino Plus BES450, BES500, BES880, BES810BSS, BES860XL, BES870XL, BES878

Perfect fit for sage brista express! This basket is for 18 grams! Dont know why it says 14-18 as 18 works perfectly! Must have for the barista express, makes for a much more precise and consistent coffee

Essential upgrade for a Sage Bambino machine if you are grinding your own beans. Excellent quality single wall, double shot filter basket, perfect fit for Sage portafilter.

Great product

Don’t underestimate how bad your standard basket is. The difference in taste is substantially different, for the better. Highly recommended.

Fits bottomless portafilter for Sage Bambino Plus. Will NOT fit in the standard portafilter that comes with the Sage Bambino plus (54mm) as it has a plastic piece in the bottom of the portafilter that won’t accommodate this basket. I got the 14-16mm which actually nicely accommodates 18-20g of ground coffee - so the 14-16mm is the equivalent to the standard Sage 54m basket that comes with the Sage machine. Like others have said - packaging is terrible. It’s shoved in an Amazon envelope without any padding and there is no padding in the box itself with the basket so it’s easy for this to get damaged en route.

This revolutionised and upgraded my espresso pulls. I'm only sorry I didn't get one sooner.

Sturdy, well made, make good coffee through it

As others have said, does not fit Sage Bambino plus, contrary to what is said in the description.

As I upgraded to DF64 grinder, I just couldn't make the proper shot with the stock basket. It was frustrating, it was either terrible messy fast flows or complete clog, nothing goes trough. I almost went ahead to return the DF64. But then I decided to try with IMS, since I read it lets finer grinds and has a better flow. And there it was. Complete turnover. It was like a completely different machine. Finally I can fine tune my shots and take adventage of a better grinder. I'm thinking of getting a showerhead too. Btw, I'm glad that I went with smaller basket, since it fits more then the stock one. So if you are thinking of fitting a litttle more grounds than the stock, go with the 14-18g variant. It's more like 18-20.

The IMS Precision 14–18g Filter Basket has been an excellent upgrade to my espresso setup. I’m using it with a Breville Barista Express and a LILQ bottomless portafilter. The fit is snug but good — it seats securely and doesn’t rattle, though it can be a bit tough to remove. Once installed, it feels very solid and well made, which inspires confidence. Build quality is exactly what you’d expect from IMS. The basket feels substantial, the holes are clean, uniform, and well aligned, and overall machining is very precise. It easily fits an 18g dose along with a puck screen without crowding. In use, performance has been excellent. I tested it with an Italian crema roast and had smooth, even flow with no channeling or spraying. Extractions were consistent and predictable, especially noticeable with the bottomless portafilter. Cleanup has also been easy, with very little coffee sticking to the basket. This basket doesn’t magically fix poor prep, but it rewards good technique with consistent results. If you’re looking to step up from a stock basket, this is a high-quality, well-performing option from IMS that’s well worth the upgrade.

Good!

Los filtros que vienen de serie con las Sage / Breville no están mal, pero tienen forma "cónica" y los agujeros no siempre son uniformes. Compré este filtro de competición IMS (tamaño 24H para 14-18g) buscando dos cosas: una extracción más uniforme gracias a las paredes rectas, y poder llevar la molienda un poco más al límite por sus agujeros más precisos. ✅ Lo mejor (razones para comprarlo): Geometría y Agujeros: A simple vista, al trasluz, la diferencia es notable. Los agujeros llegan hasta el borde y son perfectamente redondos y uniformes. Además, las paredes son rectas (cilíndricas) en lugar de cónicas, lo que permite aprovechar mejor toda la pastilla de café y no solo el centro. Limpieza del "Puck": La superficie es muy pulida (electropulido). Al golpear el portafiltros, la pastilla sale entera, sin dejar apenas residuos pegados en el fondo. El acabado es superior al de serie. Mayor claridad: Al permitir un flujo más rápido y uniforme, consigues resaltar más las notas brillantes y la acidez del café. Si te gustan los tuestes medios o ligeros, aquí es donde vas a notar la diferencia. ❌ Lo "menos mejor" (a tener en cuenta): Obliga a moler MÁS fino: Al tener más agujeros y más precisos, se incremente el flujo de agua. Si usas la misma configuración de molino que con el filtro de serie, el café saldrá demasiado rápido. Conviene ajustar algunos puntos el molinillo. Como resultado, se obtiene una mayor extracción del café. Capacidad real: Aunque pone 14-18g, depende mucho del tueste. Con cafés muy oscuros (que ocupan más volumen), 18g pueden tocar la ducha. Yo suelo quedarme en 17-17.5g para ir seguro. Experiencia de uso: Lo he utilizado tanto con el portafiltros original de Sage como en el portafiltros bottomless de Normcore. En ambos casos encaja perfecto, aunque entra un poco justo y deja marcas en el propio filtro (es irrelevante). Una vez ajusté el molino, el resultado es un espresso con más cuerpo. La experiencia de cada uno dependerá en buena medida del café utilizado y el molido. CONCLUSIÓN: Es una actualización barata que mejora el rendimiento de la máquina, pero solo si tienes un molino capaz de ajustar fino. Si usas café pre-molido o un molino muy básico, no te va a servir. Para el resto, es una mejora sencilla que te permite aprovechar un poco mejor el café de especialidad.

Preso per sostituire il filtro doppio originale della mia sage duo temp pro, il prezzo non è basso ma la qualità IMS è su un altro livello.
