IMS STANDARD ISN'T STANDARD
Why coffee professionals worldwide choose our Italian engineering.
| Feature | Standard Series of the Market | IMS Standard Series |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Often uncertified raw materials, lacking supply chain traceability. | Certified AISI 304 Stainless Steel. Full casting batch traceability throughout the production process. 100% Made in Italy and MOCA certified (food-safe contact). |
| PERFORATION | Traditional pyramidal holes with rough internal surfaces. | IMS Patented Conical Holes. The I.M.S. exclusive and patented PERFORATION technology guarantees a circular hole with a cone shaped (non-pyramidal) cross section. The inner surface of the cone shaped hole is polished and, as there are no edges or burrs, coffee oils slides out freely without any obstruction. The diameter of the hole varies from 0.25 mm to 0.40 mm |
| Burr Removal | MRemoval of burrs from the holes and mechanical ablation of the lathe, which weaken the material, making it thinner. | Burr removal by re-laminating Re-laminating is an operation that accounts for the removal of PERFORATION burrs and, at the same time, the work-hardening of the PERFORATION area, rendering it more resistant. It is achieved by subjecting the perforated area to a pressure of 200 tons. |
| Usage | Holes are prone to clogging with coffee oils or widening over time under high pump pressure. | Constant performance, long-lasting usage. Structural integrity and hole calibration are guaranteed over time. |
| Goal / Result | Perforation not guaranteed in production consistency. Leads to inconsistent extractions, channeling, and unbalanced cup profiles. | Self-cleaning design. Guarantees a perfectly uniform, consistent, and flawless espresso extraction every single time. |
