Review: Way better than stock - What a difference this made for my DeLonghi. I've only recently gotten into at home espresso and this fit an aftermarket portafilter great and is exceptionally better in quality. Works well and produces better shots with less channeling than the stock basket. Holes are more precision drilled with more of them. Shots come out sweeter and more consistent. If your basket is leaking, you may need to adjust your grind size. 100% recommend IMS baskets. Review: Works with Deloghni EPC3630 - This basket is amazing!!! I’m drinking real espresso for the first time ever from my cheap Deloghni. Two shots from this basket taste stronger than 4 from my old pressurized basket. I’ve stopped getting Starbucks because the taste is disappointing compared to home. I use this basket with my Deloghni EPC3630. I did not have to buy a new portafilter. I used a screw driver and removed the black plastic thing inside and the wire that sits under the Deloghni provided stainless steel pressurized basket. I cannot believe the quality of espresso I’m now getting from my cheapo espresso machine! ## Features - CONSISTENT EXTRACTION: 593 precision holes ensure balanced water flow, reduced channeling, and more even saturation of your coffee puck – for rich, flavorful espresso shots every time. - COMPATIBILITY: Fits 51mm portafilters with an internal diameter of 51.0–51.2mm.

I was having tons of issues with spraying no matter what I tried (different grind adjustments, dose size, tamp pressure, etc). I was able to get this one dialed in quickly. It makes a good shot and I've had no issues with spraying. It also fit perfectly in my 51mm portafilter and my casabrews espresso machine. ## Frequently Bought Together - HUGH, by IMS 51 mm Precision Filter Basket Competition Series Coffee Filter Basket Stainless Steel Portafilter Basket, 14-18 grams compatible with Leverpresso H26 - Normcore 51mm Puck Screen - Lower Shower Screen - Metal Coffee Reusable Filter for Espresso Portafilter Filter Basket 51mm - 1.7mm Thickness 150μm - Stainless Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/451880083-hugh-leverpresso-51mm-precision-filter-basket-by-ims-14-18g](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/451880083-hugh-leverpresso-51mm-precision-filter-basket-by-ims-14-18g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
