## Description

DL2TH22E. IMS Precision Filter Basket specifically designed for Delonghi 51mm group head portafilters I.M.S. produces a range of competition filters designed to bring out the best in your coffee. The SHAPE and PERFORATION have been designed to ensure ideal coffee extraction. The filter is bright and polished all around, even inside the holes. The bright and polished surface prevents dirt from adhering to it and facilitates cleaning. A filter without coffee residue allows for extracting only freshly ground coffee, rendering this phase of the process faster and safer, always guaranteeing an optimal result. The actual capacity of a filter depends on many factors such as the coffee grind or the space that is left between the coffee puck and the showerhead screen. BORDER: Ø 61.5 mm HEIGHT: 22 mm BODY: Ø 51.5 mm for Ø 51 mm tamper Fits: De Longhi ECO311, LA SPECIALISTA, DISTINTA, Dedica. Breville Cafe Roma, SMEG.

Review: Precise and unpressurized - Simple, shiny, and effective. I can easily fit 18g of espresso grinds. The price feels decent for a precision manufactured part. The rim has a slight rounded ridge at the top of the basket, but there do not seem to be any issues with leaks. I would prefer a flat top to better accommodate magnetic dosing rings, but I am generally not turning the portafilter on its side while loading. This is a good piece of decent puck prep, which means it is mostly easy to clean with a good puck. Espresso flow seems a bit more consistent though I would not say the end product is drastically different, at least for me.
Review: High quality basket worth the upgrade - This basket feels different from the original basket I received with my portafilter. Materials feel of a higher quality. Fits perfectly into my 51mm portafilter and will not accidentally come out. The holes look more consistent and the water flow looks more even. Definitely an upgrade from the cheap basket that came with the portafilter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Precise and unpressurized
*by A***R on November 19, 2025*

Simple, shiny, and effective. I can easily fit 18g of espresso grinds. The price feels decent for a precision manufactured part. The rim has a slight rounded ridge at the top of the basket, but there do not seem to be any issues with leaks. I would prefer a flat top to better accommodate magnetic dosing rings, but I am generally not turning the portafilter on its side while loading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality basket worth the upgrade

This basket feels different from the original basket I received with my portafilter. Materials feel of a higher quality. Fits perfectly into my 51mm portafilter and will not accidentally come out. The holes look more consistent and the water flow looks more even. Definitely an upgrade from the cheap basket that came with the portafilter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great basket; annoying (but not debilitating) design flaw
*by A***R on March 2, 2026*

Works like a charm in my bottomless portafilter. I don't have channeling issues in either of my baskets beyond user error so I can't comment on the efficacy of the convex bottom. My only gripe is that the rim flares out so far that it catches slightly on the machine (Delonghi 3420) and it forces you to use funnels that sit inside the basket and displace grounds before you tamp. Not the end of the world and it has not seemed to have made any massive differences in my espresso. It absolutely functions as-is, but I do wish they reduced the lip so I didn't have to grind it down myself to use a better funnel. At the end of the day, you can pull great shots with it and the capacity claimed has been accurate (18-22g).
