Cuprajake in the pullman basket, top mesh screen bottom paper filter
Hi @Cuprajake
I notice that you tend to use a Pullman basket. Do you find any difference in flow distribution, volume and most importantly taste between it and the Lelit basket? How does the Pullman basket affect your shot?
And, have you ever used an E&B IMS Precision basket, which is what I use? If so, did you find any difference in flow distribution, volume and most importantly taste between it and the Lelit basket? How did the IMS basket affect your shot?
Maybe I should move this to a thread called Baskets, Baskets, Baskets. :)
On a related topic, at the beginning of my Lelit Elizabeth experience I bought and tried the IMS screen and at that early time experienced challenges in dialing in acceptable shots. On the advice of (if I recall correctly) you or @MediumRoastSteam I went back to the stock Lelit screen, which I found to be more forgiving. I also had a Eureka Mignon in those early days, before I bought and came to enjoy the benefits of my Niche Zero.
Fast forward one year, I still use the stock Lelit screen, and still have that IMS screen in the cupboard. I would give it another go, just for the fun of it. But then as they say, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I do now recall you or @MediumRoastSteam saying that the IMS screen did not fit the Lelit well. What screen are you currently using and why?
