PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
If your espresso shots have been acting like a soap opera (channeling, blonding, “why did that one run fast?”), the IMS Big Bang baskets are the “calm, steady, repeatable” upgrade.
The IMS Big Bang series is a precision-manufactured double basket designed for standard 58mm commercial portafilters. Each height option changes the internal volume, letting you match the basket to your preferred dose and puck geometry. That means better consistency, less random mess, and a more repeatable dial-in — especially in busy shops where “close enough” quickly becomes “please don’t.”
These baskets are built by IMS (Italy) using food-grade stainless steel and precision micro-perforation patterns engineered for stable flow across the puck. In plain café-English: more even extraction, cleaner flavor, and fewer surprise shots when you’re in the weeds.
Choose your height based on your target dose and headspace needs. Same 58mm fit, different internal capacity.
WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT
• Precision flow characteristics for improved shot consistency
• Great upgrade for modern espresso recipes (especially tighter grind + higher extraction styles)
• Multiple heights let you match basket volume to your dose and workflow
• Built for standard 58mm commercial portafilters
COMPATIBILITY (58MM COMMERCIAL PORTAFILTERS)
Fits most machines using standard 58mm portafilters, including many models from: Astoria, Wega, La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, Victoria Arduino, ECM, Rocket Espresso (commercial), Bezzera (58mm), Profitec (58mm), Sanremo, Faema, Rancilio and other 58mm commercial groups.
Note: Always verify your portafilter takes a 70mm rim basket and that basket depth clears your shower screen.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HEIGHT
• Want a “classic” modern double dose? Pick the height that matches your typical 18–20g workflow (H23.5 is often the sweet spot).
• Dosing higher or using lighter roasts with longer shots? You may prefer a taller basket for headspace and puck stability.
• Dosing lower or using tighter headspace machines? A shorter basket can help avoid shower screen contact.
INSTALLATION & WARRANTY NOTES
Installs like a standard basket: pop the old one out, click this one in. Because precision baskets can be more sensitive (in a good way), expect to fine-tune grind and yield slightly after swapping.
At Genius Coffee N’ Espresso Equipment, we take pride in offering only tested, quality parts. This part is covered under our Genius Warranty. We recommend installation by a trained technician to ensure proper performance.
