IMS

Buy IMS Precision Screens Switzerland – The Geometry of Extraction

IMS – Industria Materiali Stampati – has been the Italian specialist for precise filter baskets, shower screens, and brew group components for decades. While standard original screens often have wide hole tolerances, IMS works with laser-measurement precision. Result: more even flow, less channeling, more aroma clarity. Coffee Coaching Club carries the most important IMS lines.

What makes IMS unique

Three characteristics define the brand. First, hole tolerances: IMS produces filter baskets with micrometer precision – every hole has the same diameter, unlike many OEM screens. Second, coatings: the Baristapro Nanotech line uses a nanoquartz coating that repels water and coffee oils, improves flow, and facilitates cleaning. Third, the machine spectrum: IMS produces screens and shower screens for almost every classic espresso machine – La Marzocco, Rocket, ECM, Profitec, Bezzera, Quick Mill, Slayer, Victoria Arduino.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an IMS screen really make a noticeable difference?

With light specialty roasts, very clearly: less channeling in the bottomless portafilter, more even extraction, clearer aromas. More subtle with classic medium-dark roasts.

Baristapro Nanotech or Competition?

Baristapro Nanotech: Nanoquartz coating, easier cleaning, daily-driver. Competition: tightest tolerances for maximum reproducibility – typically used in a competition context.

Which screen size for my dose?

18 g standard. 20 g for stronger doses or larger double shots. 14 g for single shots or smaller doses. Height 24 mm standard, 26 mm for higher doses.

How do I clean an IMS screen?

Standard backflush with Urnex Cafiza or BioCaf. The nanoquartz coating of the Baristapro Nanotech significantly reduces coffee oil residue – noticeably less cleaning effort.

Do you have IMS for my machine?

For almost every classic espresso machine with a 58 mm portafilter, yes. For special machines, please provide the machine model – we will check availability.
