## Description

DL2TH26E. 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.

Les comparto mi opinion teniendo en cuenta que yo utilizo esta canasta en mi Delonghi Stilosa, con un portafiltro sin fondo, anillo dosificador, tamper, y un puck screen, todos estos accesorios de la marca Normcore. En cuanto a lo que es la maquina de espresso, si tengo un gran inconveniente con la canasta ya que esta se queda atascada con la ducha de la maquina, por lo que resulta molestoso tener que estar batallando cada que quito el portafiltro, tengo que buscar la forma de destrabar la canasta que se queda pegada a la ducha. Ahora debo decir que esto tambien pasa con la misma canasta que viene por defecto en el portafiltro de Normcore, por lo que no sabria decirles si ese defecto es solo de la canasta IMS o si es algo que pasa con cualquier canasta que no sea Delonghi. En cuanto al portafiltro sin fondo, tamper y puck screen, todos de 51mm, no le veo ningun problema, encaja perfectamente. Donde si siento que es mejorable es con el anillo dosificador, si llega a imantarse pero se siente muy debil, por lo que se debe de tener mas cuidado para no tirar el cafe. Por ultimo me gustaria agregar que en cuanto a la molienda no cambio mucho como lo advertían otros comentarios. Mencionaban que tenian que moler un poco mas fino. En mi caso no fue asi, si lo comparamos con las canastas presurizadas que vienen por defecto, obvio, si vas a tener que moler mas fino. Pero en comparacion con la canasta que viene en el portafiltro sin fondo de Normcore, al menos en mi caso, no. Puede que esto se deba a que antes preparaba 16gr en esa canasta, mientras que ahora con la canasta de IMS preparo 18gr, y esos gramos de diferencia compensan que siga siendo la misma molienda.
