Its hole pattern concentrates more openings toward the center, with an increased number of center holes and tighter spacing. Combined with a flat bottom and ridgeless edge, this design supports controlled flow—especially in bottomless setups—while the 70 mm border and 18–20 g capacity offer versatile dosing options. Crafted in Italy by IMS, it’s built to work with a broad range of 58 mm portafilters and group heads, helping you explore a nuanced espresso profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey design benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe center-focused hole layout guides the brew path for more uniform extraction across the puck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe BIG BANG design emphasizes the sweetness of coffee, potentially yielding a smoother, balanced cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat bottom and ridgeless edge are intended to minimize turbulence and help avoid uneven flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor 18–20 g doses; height 23.5 mm (H23.5) with a 70 mm border, designed for 58 mm portafilters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRidgeless edge and flat bottom support predictable flow, especially with bottomless portafilters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in Italy by IMS and compatible with most 58 mm group heads; widely used brands include Gaggia, E61, La Marzocco, Rancilio, Faema, Bezzera, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage notes and considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every coffee will respond the same way. The Big Bang pattern can enhance sweetness and balance in many coffees, but it isn’t recommended for very light, citrus-forward coffees, as the design may alter their natural characteristics. We suggest testing with you preferred beans and roast levels to see how the profile shifts with your machine and grinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical expectations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMay support a more uniform shot with reduced channeling when used with proper dosing and tamping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for double espresso routines on 58 mm setups, offering flexibility across different bean profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What is the IMS Big Bang 58mm filter basket designed to improve?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Its center-heavy hole pattern aims for uniform extraction and a smoother, balanced espresso with reduced channeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this basket compatible with all 58mm portafilters?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It fits many 58mm portafilters and uses a 70mm border; verify your group head compatibility before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"verybarista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967196348570,"sku":"B0CD7M1ZVX","price":33.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/0514\/1914\/files\/verybarista-ims-big-bang-center-hole-pattern-58mm-basket.jpg?v=1777874730","url":"https:\/\/oicohome.com\/products\/verybarista-ims-big-bang-58mm-precision-filter-basket-18-20g","provider":"Oico Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
