Designed for 18-20g doses, it enhances sweetness and reduces acidity, making it ideal for medium to dark roasts. Crafted in Italy from durable steel, it fits most professional espresso machines and tampers, delivering consistent double shots with barista-grade precision. ## Description The latest innovation from IMS. Holes are distributed towards the center to direct the flow of espresso. There are more holes in the center and they have less disctance between them. This pattern is specifically designed for bottomless portafilters. The basket has flat bottom. Available in 4 heights with different capacities according to the type of coffee used. For 58-58.5mm tampers. Ridgeless. Border 70mm. The main characteristics we found out the BIG BANG filters emphasis was the SWEETNESS. The extraction is very uniform , it exalts the sweetness and reduces the acidity. We don’t suggest to use the BIG BANG filters with citric (light) coffees since they sweetened espresso and modify characteristics. Review: Tastes great Review: J’ai acheté ce panier IMS Big Bang pour régler un point très précis sur la Sage Oracle Jet : avec le panier d’origine, je me retrouvais souvent autour de 22 g, ce qui était trop élevé pour l’usage que je voulais en double expresso. Je cherchais quelque chose de plus cohérent pour travailler autour de 17-18g, sans bricoler la machine ni dégrader son fonctionnement. Au final, c’est exactement ce que ce panier m’a apporté. On retrouve une plage de dosage beaucoup plus logique pour un double expresso, avec une extraction plus facile à ajuster et plus proche de ce que je recherchais en tasse au quotidien. Dans mon cas, ça a clairement réglé le problème du panier d’origine. Le très gros avantage, et c’est pour moi un vrai point fort, c’est que c’est totalement plug and play. Je n’ai pas eu besoin de modifier la hauteur du ventilateur, ce qui était justement une crainte avant achat. On installe le panier, et la machine continue de fonctionner normalement. Le tassage automatique se fait comme avec le panier d’origine, sans comportement bizarre ni adaptation particulière à prévoir. C’est ce point qui fait vraiment la différence à mes yeux : on améliore un vrai défaut pratique de la configuration d’origine, tout en gardant le confort d’utilisation de la machine tel quel. Pas besoin de revoir tout son workflow pour en profiter. En résumé, je recommande clairement ce panier aux utilisateurs de Sage Oracle Jet qui trouvent que le panier d’origine pousse trop facilement vers 22 g. Si vous cherchez une solution simple, propre, efficace, sans modification de la machine et sans perdre le fonctionnement normal du tassage automatique, c’est un très bon achat. ## Features - The latest innovation from IMS. 585 Holes distributed towards the center to direct the flow of espresso.

Kolaylıklı Nano ve compettion sepetlere oranla daha ince öğütüm yapabilirsiniz. Refraktometreyle ölçtüğünüzde çözünmenin daha iyi olduğunu görüyoruz. Fakat bununla beraber bu sepetin altında yan kısımlarda çok fazla boşluk var. Bu boşlukların oluşu oraya delik koymamasından kaynaklı akışı merkeze yönlendiriyor. Bunun bir olumsuzluğu var ki mutlaka kahve puckını sepete kenarlardan yapışıyor. Nano sepetlerdeki gibi kusursuz bir yapışmama özelliği beklememeniz gerekiyor. Sanırım bu yapışmaz kaplama bu sepetlerde mevcut değil. Orta tarafa yapışmazken çoğunlukla sepet kenalarında kahve yapışıyor. Tüm bunlara rağmen güzel bir sepet. Fakat Wafo veya Weber tarzı sepetlerin performansını beklemek büyük bir hayal kırıklığı yaratabilir... ## Frequently Bought Together - IMS Big Bang Precision Filter Basket for 58mm portafilters, 18-20g. double espresso (h23.5) - Urnex Espresso Machine Cleaning Powder - 566 grams - Cafiza Professional Espresso Machine Cleaner - Normcore 58.5mm Puck Screen - Lower Shower Screen - Metal Coffee Reusable Filter for Espresso Portafilter Filter Basket 58mm - 1.7mm Thickness 150μm - 316 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.co.za/products/548104577-ims-big-bang-precision-filter-basket-for-58mm-portafilters-18](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/548104577-ims-big-bang-precision-filter-basket-for-58mm-portafilters-18) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
