Description
Our extensive testing of IMS precision filter baskets for Sage machines has revealed their impressive versatility in dose sizes. The H24 model stands out as the closest match to standard Sage baskets, accommodating 14-18g of coffee. For those seeking variety, IMS offers several options: the H22 basket suits smaller 12-16g doses, while the H26 (17-20g) and H28 (18-22g) cater to those who prefer larger shots
Features and Benefits
Perfect Sage Compatibility: Designed specifically for 54mm Sage portafilters
Familiar Dosing Range: H24 model matches standard basket capacity around 18g
Unique Extraction Profile: Opens up new possibilities with your favourite beans
For baristas who fancy pushing their extractions further, the H28 variant offers expanded capacity up to 22g.
In our detailed comparison tests, we discovered these precision baskets allow for noticeably finer grinding capabilities. This characteristic proves particularly valuable when working with lighter roasts, where extracting those subtle, bright flavours can be challenging with standard baskets.
We should note that Sage’s stock baskets are far from basic. Many coffee professionals in our network actually consider them equal to—and sometimes superior than—certain competition baskets when paired with Sage machines.
However, what makes these IMS baskets fascinating is their ability to produce distinctly different flavour profiles from identical beans. Whether these differences represent improvements depends entirely on your taste preferences—after all, coffee appreciation is deeply personal.
For Sage 54mm basket machine owners keen to explore the world of competition filter baskets, our testing confirms the IMS range as the standout choice. Their precision engineering and varied sizing options provide an excellent platform for experimenting with your coffee extraction.
