HUGH Leverpresso 51mm Precision Filter Basket by IMS, 14–18g Stainless Steel Competition Basket, Compatible with Leverpresso H26 and De'Longhi La Specialista H26

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.

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!

I bought this to replace the filter basket in a bottomless portafilter I bought recently. 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.

Nice upgrade for my picopresso

Be aware: this version doesn’t fit deLonghi due to the high roll edge. It doesn’t fit grinder side (grinder would not grind), nor the brewing side (will damage gasket). I did force a brew using coffee grounded by a separate grinder, the result espresso is good though. But I will not use it anymore. Product wise, it is good product and makes good espresso.

Absolutely worth the money. It might not compare with a more expensive basket, but for the value the even water distribution and true flat bottom are worth it. My shots had a much more intense mouth feel and depth, but the Sweetness wasn't more pronounced as claimed. It helped with channeling issues, although I will note it didn't release the puck easily. Fitment is extremely tight due to ridge. 5 stars because of price, would not compare to wafo etc

Bought it as alternative for Picoresso. Great fit. Noticeable improvement compared with original basket

Wow—Amazing shots when combined with my Picopresso! The precision holes in this high performance basket actually do make a big difference in flavor (I was a little skeptical). The very slight, tiny bit of bitterness in my favorite beans is almost completely gone, and suddenly the caramel and chocolate notes are much more noticeable with a hint of berries. Great, worth every dine! Highly recommend! But for Picopresso you will need a new 51mm funnel and tamper to use this basket. I already had them. So no-brainer for me, but others should factor in that additional cost if they don’t already own these specific 51mm tools.
