Review: Great basket - This great basket and fits good in my 51mm neouza bottomless portafilter. My espresso maker is an Espressoworks, but it will not fit the original portafilter that came with this machine! Review: I Got Crema On the First Try - I bought this basket to replace the stock basket that comes with the Picopresso. I was concerned that the new basket might not fit but it fits fine. Some reviews have mentioned they have problems with the funnel not resting securely on the basket but I found the funnel to fit just fine. I noticed a definite improvement in the flavor of my shots after replacing the basket and even got some crema on my first try. The basket appears to be high quality and is very easy to clean. The Picopresso doesn't screw together all the way with the larger basket but I haven't had any issues with leakage so far. ## Features - IMS Precision Filter Basket B602TH25 for 15-17 grams of coffee - Shape of the Basket and Hole Pattern suits all types of coffee roasts - from dark to light roast.

My espresso maker is an Espressoworks, but it will not fit the original portafilter that came with this machine! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Got Crema On the First Try *by K***E on May 16, 2025* I bought this basket to replace the stock basket that comes with the Picopresso. I was concerned that the new basket might not fit but it fits fine. Some reviews have mentioned they have problems with the funnel not resting securely on the basket but I found the funnel to fit just fine. I noticed a definite improvement in the flavor of my shots after replacing the basket and even got some crema on my first try. The basket appears to be high quality and is very easy to clean. The Picopresso doesn't screw together all the way with the larger basket but I haven't had any issues with leakage so far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with picopresso *by B***R on April 10, 2023* I got this straight walled porta filter in order to up my Pico skills. It works with the picopresso with the exception of having a slightly larger diameter lip. This causes the funnel to have a small gap. I'll later upgrade to a better funnel later so it isn't a big deal. Update: After using this portafilter for a while I've been pleased and upset. It works fine with the picopresso if you don't have too many things running with it. The seal holds and you can achieve a good cup of "espresso". Now with the use of Wacaco's pressure gauge it will leak 90% of shots. I've gone as far as grinding the outer edge of the basket to make fit a little better but still leaks. I've ran a couple other baskets and have had less leaking issues. So in conclusion, if you want to upgrade your pico, you might want to skip this basket and look at a different basket. But if not, this is still a good basket. ## Frequently Bought Together - IMS Competition Filter Basket for La Pavoni Lever post millenium espresso machines. Fits Picopresso.
