64×52.5×5.5 mm is the measurement for the group’s silicone filter gasket from the retailer.

Does any one know what the measurements are for our group please ? I do not have a caliper.

As far as the piston seals are concerned, they only have a nitrile rubber piston seals

Thx

LMSC I will have to rely upon a more learned member!

dfk41 Those measurements in my previous post are for the silicone filter holder gaskets. The supplier confirmed it by email.

Hope some one can measure the existing one and confirm the size.

Need to order some myself, where’d you order that one from?

Cuprajake With the GU10 clip don’t you have more flow from the sides than from the center?

Just ran 18grm dose of same bean through the IMS 26 and 32. Grind unchanged. For both shots, extraction pulled when group pressure gauge hit 6 bar. IMS 32 shot timed out at 27 secs. IMS 26 timed out at 29 secs - not enough difference IMO to make much if any difference to the shot. If I was splitting hairs, IMS 26 shaded it. So IMS 26 will remain my go to basket.

Systemic You don’t find any fractured puck dosing 18 grams on IMS32, do you? This isn’t a problem on the 26 but mostly is on the 32 in my case.

The puck fracture does not change with any grind size in the espresso range of the JX pro or the dosage in the case of 32. It does makes wonder if the Evo is exposing the Jx Pro’s limitations.

I’m also using mostly the IMS 26 basket, but with some coffee beans (e.g. Extract’s Original), I can’t cleanly dose 18g with it out of my Niche and Norvin’s funnel and have thus resorted to dose only 16g in such case.

Eiffel I normally dose 17g if medium dark, dark and decaf on the IMS 26.

Wanted to see if the extra headroom IMS 32 would make any difference - for my set up, it didn’t. Dosing 18grms into IMS 26 doesn’t cause shower screen impression on the puck but it would be difficult to tell using a GU 10 circlip to retain the shower screen. I prefer to focus on taste and the difference between the two shots earlier was negligible.

Can’t remember last time I had a problem with channeling - put a lot of this down to the Evo’s gentle pre-infusion pressure. I do put a lot down to the grinder of course. I get very different taste outcomes using same bean with the EKS and Niche but that is to be expected. I don’t like the results from the Niche using lighter roasts but medium plus is a different story.

Systemic Thanks. The fractured puck is only with the larger basket. 😊

Can someone link me to the IMS 26 basket please. I have been using the stock since arrival, but over the last week I have been drinking decaf and getting quite a few fractured pucks. I wonder if this might help?

Systemic Having made the switch from the stock basket to the IMS, I can definitely say the IMS makes a big difference, and that is from someone who has kippers for taste buds!

For me the best results by far is IMS 26 basket dosing 17gr. + Bplus disk.

I will nit say every shot is perfect because sometimes I prepare coffee at 6AM, but almost there! 😅

im happy to dose less, i used to dose 16g on the Bianca

Hi all,

I currently have the evo set at 92/98.

This is for medium roast,

What setting are people using for medium to light roasts?

dfk41

Cuprajake I drink medium and a little darker and mine are 93/101 so you will not be far away with Patricks figures matey

Cuprajake What setting are people using for medium to light roasts?

My lowest was like 89, for all the machines I had. But now I went to 86/87 light (filter) roasts are becoming much much better. Far less sour and better fruity and floral tones.

Systemic

93c/102c
