Live with "Breville Guy" | Breville 54mm IMS Baskets Explained 

I just upsized to the IMS triple basket for a couple reasons, 1) I really enjoy dark roast and can only fit 16.5g in the double basket that came with the barista express, and 2) I have been making myself 2 separate 16.5g shots each morning before work. Can’t wait to cut out that extra time and enjoy my espresso all at once😂

I use H32 basket for larger lattes or iced coffees.

Why 63 grams in 33 seconds on the triple basket? I thought the goal was double the grams of coffee, so somewhere around 50 grams of espresso.

I just found this video and it’s very timely for me. I’ve been on Amazon trying to decide which basket to buy, thanks for this info. 🙂

I save the single basket only for back flush! 😂😂

i use a 28mm ims basket and dose is around 22/23g ,dependant on the coffee

Hi liked the video so much I subscribed. I LOVE coffee and triple shot would be great instead of me pulling 2 double shots for my morning expresso. But my 54 mm Breville portafilter is too short for a triple basket. What brand of a naked portafilter would you recommend to pair with the IMS triple shot basket? Had a very heavy Delonghi for 18 years and it finally died. So I purchased a Bambino Plus because of the small amount of counter space I have available now. I’m pulling good shots after taking that black disk with a hole that Breville put in the portafilter. Thank you again, great video!

Hi thank you for the video. I have Breville Express and using single basket non pressurized. The volume setting on the grinder I set to mininal and it gives me about 9 grams of coffee. In terms of final results I agree its difficult and I get two good shots out of ten 😊. But I always prepare coffee only for one person so using double basket sounds like too much coffee for one person. I would have a suggestion for video: how to prepare best espresso for somebody who like to use the least coffeine/ least amount of coffee, for example - if there exist some basket in 54mm for a range of 9-13g for single person that do not want to use 18g but 7g is too little - the goal to mitigate problems with single 7g basket i.e. dialing in would be easier.

Greetings

I use the single dose baskets for the occasional affogato. That's it, can't imagine any other use for them.
