This IMS Basket is a Game-Changer for My Gaggia E24 – Worth Every Penny!
Super happy I snagged this IMS basket on sale—total score! The quality is top-notch, just what you’d expect from IMS, and it works like a dream with my Gaggia E24. Sliding it into the group head is smooth, removing it is even smoother. No more stuck pucks—they pop right out like magic. I rinse it with hot water and dry it after each shot, and my espresso has never been more consistent. I usually dose 16g (sometimes 17g) with a stainless steel puck screen, and it pulls perfect shots every time. Might be tight for 18g with the screen though—haven’t tried it. If you’re using a Gaggia or similar machine, this basket’s a no-brainer upgrade. Highly recommend!

Precision and consistency in a small but meaningful upgrade
Coming from someone who recently went down the rabbit hole of espresso and upgrading my old 51mm cheap espresso machine to a Gaggia.Got the IMS Competition Convex Basket (H26+ version) a few days ago to pair with the Gaggia Classic Pro, and it’s already become a staple part of the workflow. Coming from the stock basket, the difference in build quality is immediately clear — tighter tolerances, smoother finish, and a base that actually encourages a more even extraction.What I liked most is how this basket responds to good puck prep. With a proper dose, WDT, and even tamp, the flow through a bottomless portafilter is much more uniform. Channeling is significantly reduced, and the shots are coming out with better body and clarity — especially when grinding consistently. The convex base also seems to help reduce soggy pucks and keeps the center from collapsing post-shot.It’s not a flashy upgrade, but is easy to dial in which is important for anyone who doesn’t want to dial in regularly, it makes a real difference. Paired with the right prep, it brings a level of consistency and balance that’s hard to get from a stock basket.

Excellent product performance, ok price.
Getting more and better crema. Hidden flavor notes are more accessible on the tongue. What more could I ask for?

Magnetic dosing funnel works
The media could not be loaded. It IS magnetic

My magnetic funnel doesn't stick to it
As a basket it works good. The downside is my magnetic funnel doesn't stick to it. I can work around it but it's annoying when I forget and the funnel falls off the portafilter. I haven't spilled the grounds yet but I eventually will.
