Delonghi IMS Filter Basket
Best precision upgrade for home baristas seeking cafe-quality espresso extraction.
This Italian-engineered upgrade transforms standard home espresso by replacing stock baskets with a precision-drilled surface for significantly more even extraction. It’s a serious performance boost for your shots, though the extra depth means you’ll likely need a bottomless portafilter to make it fit.
