E&B Lab, by IMS Nanoquartz Precision Basket with largest filtration area of 715 holes. For about 15 grams. B702TFH22NT

I was surprised when I changed my Kitchen Aid espresso machine's stock basket with this one. This basket offers a lot less resistance than your stock basket so it requires for you to grind finer to maintain the same pressure. The sweetness that resulted from the first shot I dialed in with the new basket was something I had never tasted before. It was as if I had added syrup to my espresso. It really shows that a good quality basket is a good way to spend your money if you are trying to improve the taste of your shots.

Great support from Verybarista. I was able to try this basket as well as the big bang basket. Both are top quality and unique In their own ways. I am still testing their strengths but so far the E&B seemed great for lighter roasts and the big bang basket for darker ones. So many variables but I've had great results from these. I have owned 20 and 18 VST an 18 ims baristapro and now the 15 E&B and Big bang by ims. Since I drink two shots a day I wanted to reduce my caffeine intake slightly and these baskets are the perfect for that. Single 8-12g baskets can be really fussy to dial in and clean out. These baskets are much much better 5 stars

Upgraded from an IMS Competition basket. Didn’t change a thing, same roast/beans, same grind setting, same espresso machine and temp settings, dosage/ratio, etc... Noticed a bump in overall flavor and much less acidity. Also that it extracted about 2-3 seconds faster. Less residual grinds leftover after knocking the puck out, still some, but not very much.I have noticed that it is a bit less forgiving if you don’t thoroughly prep the puck. If it channels it will let you know, multiple spouts that take longer to unify etc…. So have to be a bit more meticulous about prep, but if you do it well, the taste difference is noticeable.

This is a nicely made basket, with the nanoquartz coating, nicely made and well finished. However, as others have pointed out, you will get a lot more channeling at the same grind levels as before. My shots were extracting cleanly without spraying until I started using this basket, at which point there was a LOT of spraying. More WDT and careful puck prep tamed it somewhat, but due to the channeling, my shots just weren't as tasty and there was more of a mess. In retrospect I could have put more effort into dialing in the grind more precisely - but I have a nice conical precisely because I don't want to be OCD about the grind setting needed for a good espresso shot. Maybe puck screen or aeropress filter on top could have helped?The other issue is that the stainless alloy used in this basket is non-magnetic, so my funnel no longer stuck to the basket, requiring more careful attention to be paid.Ultimately, I think if you are willing to pay _even_more_attention_ to your espresso than it already takes, then this basket may yield better tasting shots. For me, I felt it added too many requirements for a decent morning espresso, and was more hassle than it was worth - so I returned it.

The nano coating definitely works, the puck goes out a lot easier. However the basket get scratched far too easily comparing to VST. In case you want to know, the bottom of the basket is a little bit larger then that of VST, and fits a 56mm paper filter exactly

Wasted over a pound of coffee dialing in the new 20g basket, in a new bottomless portafilters. Channeling, major spurting, dead spots, super early blonding. Got tired of dealing with it, hopped on Reddit and sure enough this has happened before. Lots of folks had the same issue, and attribute it to the Nano coating. Not sure how or why the coating would change anything, but it do. Switched this “precision” basket with the basic stamped basket. Same dose, same grind, no channeling, no spurts, blonding late in the shot.I’m sure these are definitely some of the better baskets out there in terms of uniformity and the like, but this is the third NANOTECH basket that I’ve experienced the same issue with.Going to try out a VST precision and see how those do.

Avoid this at all costs. I was looking for a good precision basket but these with the nano quartz coating are not it. They cause channeling and your shot won't look nice because the nano quartz is water repellent. This prevents the "vortex"/"cone" from forming. Using a Pullman/VST basket now.

Works very well. I own multiple sizes. This smaller basket requires a very fine grind to slow the flow with so many holes. Excellent product and delicious espresso

Adquirí el filtro por un video de James Hoffmann, y fue una gran decisión, pasó todo lo que describió en el video, fue necesario moler más fino, el resultado en taza fue excelente.

Fits my ascaso uno without issue, works with 58.5 distributor, tamper, and puck. Nano coating works extremely well and the pucks come out in one piece, no issues. Only problem I have is that I ordered an 18g basket but it feels more like a 20g. Like as soon as I put 18g or less there seems to be very little pressure build up and watery. So I need to put 19g or 20g, maybe even 21g, just to have consistently good shots.

I wasn't happy with the stock Gaggia Classic basket, the holes seemed poorly formed.Hence I quickly opted for the E&B 18 gram basket (the biggest one I thought would fit in the stock Classic portafilter).I now get much better results.One comment is that this basket has a somewhat domed rim - which makes it a tighter fit in the grouphead, Consequently it needs a firmer hand to lock the portafilter in place than when using the stock basket.

Passt perfekt in den Träger einen Lelit Bianca v3. Man merkt das es nicht gestanzt sondern mit Lasern gelocht wurde. Sehr gleichmässig und großflächige verteilung. Mahlgut wird gut benetzt. Um die gleiche Extrusionszeit zu erreichen musste Mahlgut minimal feiner eingestellt werden. Bislang sehr Empfehlenswert. (Kleiner Zusatz Bonus - der Funnel hat am original sieb eher streng gepasst - jetzt schnappen die magnete wieder erfreulich zu und der Funnel lässt sich leichter entfernen)
