IMS Competition Big Bang 2-Cup Espresso Filter Basket (22/24.5g) — 58mm Ridgeless
Upgrade your espresso game with the IMS Competition Big Bang 2-Cup Filter Basket, engineered for baristas who demand precision, balance, and repeatable results from every shot. Designed in Italy by IMS — the gold standard in espresso precision components — this 58mm ridgeless basket eliminates channeling and unlocks the full flavor potential of your coffee.
Why the Big Bang Pattern Changes Everything
At the heart of this basket is IMS’s proprietary 585-hole “Big Bang” laser-cut perforation pattern. Unlike conventional baskets with evenly distributed holes, the Big Bang design concentrates perforations at 1.5mm spacing toward the center, gradually widening toward the perimeter. This forces water to flow evenly through the densest part of your puck, producing a uniform extraction that softens harsh acidity and amplifies natural sweetness — especially in medium and dark roasts.
Key Features
- Large 22–24.5g capacity — ideal for rich double shots and high-yield extractions
- Anti-channeling geometry — promotes even saturation and eliminates bitter, uneven pulls
- Ridgeless design — works with both traditional and naked/bottomless portafilters for cleaner puck release
- Electropolished food-grade stainless steel — smooth, non-porous surface resists coffee oils and cleans effortlessly
- Precision dimensions — 27.5mm height, 70mm outer diameter; fits 58mm portafilters and 58.4mm precision tampers
Universal 58mm Compatibility
This basket fits most commercial and prosumer E61 group head espresso machines, including La Marzocco, Rocket Espresso, Rancilio, Gaggia, ECM, Sanremo, and Slayer. Whether you’re pulling shots on a home setup or a café bar, the IMS Big Bang integrates seamlessly.
Who Is This For?
The IMS Big Bang basket is the go-to upgrade for home baristas and café professionals looking to reduce extraction variables, improve shot consistency, and coax more sweetness and clarity out of their beans. It’s particularly effective for those dialing in medium-to-dark roasts where channeling is most punishing.
