## Notes

IMS's B60-series competition basket is the one IMS assigns to **La Pavoni
post-millennium** machines — the current Europiccola, Professional and
Stradivari levers covered here. Its "Ø 52 mm Internal" body matches La
Pavoni's own stated filter-holder internal diameter (52 mm "with filter"),
and its "Ø 51 mm" tamper matches the 51/51.5 mm tampers third parties market
for these levers. Vintage **pre-millennium** La Pavoni is a different format
and takes IMS's B58 series instead (the catalogue lists it separately), so
this basket is not cross-referenced to any pre-2000 lever.

Governance note: IMS's catalogue also lists "HI BREW (H4C BARISTA)" and
"LELIT (Kate)" under the B60 (Ø 60 mm border) series. We do not stock the Hi
Brew, and the Lelit Kate is documented elsewhere in this database at 58 mm
from Lelit's own LELIT58 line — a direct conflict with IMS placing "Kate"
in a Ø 52 mm-body series. Rather than cross-reference on a contradiction, the
Kate is deliberately left off this entry and the discrepancy is flagged for
review against a Lelit primary source. Verified against the IMS product page
and Competition catalogue on 2026-07-13.
