IMS basket and 53,3mm tamper
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2015 3:05 pm
One thing i loved about my old Alex Duetto-setup was my IMS screen, VST basket and 58,3mm Reg Barber tamper.
Perfect shots with almost no cleaning needed for my grouphead or naked portafilter.
I have missed this with my S1 - but no more!
IMS baskets (from Cafe-kultur.de (12-18g + 22g)
Reb Barber C-ripple 53,3mm
IMS Shower-screen
At the moment i use the 22g basket with 19g, as i have the original (old) tall dispersion disc installed, and even with a flat screew the puck touches the screen resulting in channeling and a mess to clean in the grouphead - this is not the case with the 22g basket - clean sides after dose, shake, tamp, pull the shot - almost no coffee in the grouphead/showerscreen.
