Review: Big improvement over the stock Gaggia basket - I'm using this basket on my Gaggia Evolution espresso machine with a Rancilio Rocky grinder along with a 58mm coffee distributor tool (also purchased here on desertcart from "Apexstone") and a basic steel tamper. With the typical roasts I use for espresso (usually Peru or Guatemala blends that are on the darker side of medium roast), this basket completely changed my pulls. I'm getting much more texture and a broader range of flavor notes. Absolutely worth the money spent. I also had some fresh roasted coffee beans on hand that were a much lighter roast, but I've yet to be able to get a "great" shot from them using this basket (but to be fair, I couldn't really get a great pull from them with the original basket either). I did manage to get close though- I got some acceptable shots using this basket with an extremely fine grind and lighter tamp while surfing the temp up a bit higher before pulling. I think I need to upgrade my gear across the board to get good pulls from lighter roasts but this basket did help a little. Overall, this basket is a great bang-for-buck way to improve pulls from your Gaggia.
Review: Very nice basket, gets the job done exactly expected - I ordered this nice basket from desertcart, arrived super quickly and priced right. Came in a nice IMS box, out of the box I received the "IMS Competizione" basket designed for 58mm portafilters , which could hold 18-22grams espresso grinds. The holes appears to be even and through and through without any chips. Works as expected with my Gaggia Classic Pro Evo machine's bottomless portafilter. I can easily use my distribution tool and tamper. I highly recommend this basket.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this basket vs the nanotech version?**
A: Looking at the specs between the two, it seems like the differences are the number of holes, the non-stick NanoQuartz coating, the shape of the bottom.
I doubt the coating will make any noticeable difference as far as extraction is concerned. I don't have issues with grinds sticking to this basket after pull a shot. I usually leave the portafilter in place while I prep for the next shot or steam milk and empty it after.
The slightly smaller holes in the Nanotech version may require an adjustment to the grind size if you are currently using this basket. You're likely going to have to make an adjustment to your grind size if you change from the stock basket to any of the IMS baskets anyway.
The extra .5mm depth at the bottom of this basket could give a little more clearance between the coffee and the shower screen if the grinds touching the shower screen is an issue. I would reduce my dosing, but getting a larger basket is also an option.
Overall, I doubt the Nanotech version will provide a noticeable difference over this one. One note about this basket is that i found 18 gram dose to be too little for this basket. Get the "up to 18 gram" double basket if that is the dose you prefer. I get better results with 20 gram doses with this basket.

**Q: Does this come with a replacement (heavier) basket retaining spring?**
A: No. It doesn't bring the basket retaining spring.

**Q: What is the exact internal dimension "58.4, 58.5, etc." ?**
A: 58.52

**Q: Does it fit Gaggia classic pro?**
A: It fits my Gaggia Classic Pro and my bottomless portafilter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A high quality precision basket for Gaggia Classic (Evo) Pro.
*by A***R on November 4, 2024*

This IMS precision basket is so much better than the basket that comes with the GCP. I use it for double shots and usually load 20g and use a puck screen on top. Works and fits well with the GCP. Spent puck comes out cleanly. It is no HE basket so use a paper filter on the bottom for a higher level of extraction. Would recommend 10/10.
