Why upgrade your
BFC with IMS?
BFC builds traditional espresso machines known for incredible longevity and thermal mass. Upgrading to IMS precision filters and screens ensures that the high-quality water flow provided by your BFC group head is perfectly distributed over the coffee puck, preventing channeling and maximizing sweetness.
Many BFC machines, especially in their prosumer line like the Junior or Classica, utilize the legendary E61 group head. For these, the IMS E61200 series (such as the E61200IM or E61200NT) is a perfect fit. For commercial multi-boiler setups, please select your specific model in the tool above to ensure accurate sizing.
BFC portafilters are built to standard commercial 58mm specifications. Our B70 and B70T series precision baskets will fit perfectly into both standard double-spouted and bottomless BFC portafilters. Use a 58mm or 58.4mm precision tamper for the best extraction results.
If you run a busy commercial cafe using a BFC Aviator or Galileo, a Nanotech screen is highly recommended. The NT quartz coating prevents coffee oils from adhering to the shower screen. This keeps the group head much cleaner during peak hours and prevents bitter, rancid oils from contaminating your fresh espresso shots.
Yes. Adding an IMS 58.5mm Puck Screen provides an extra dispersion layer on top of your coffee bed. It softens the initial pressure ramp-up from the rotary or vibratory pump, ensuring an incredibly even water distribution while simultaneously keeping the E61 shower screen perfectly clean.
