Cross-section to scale, from the dimensions IMS publishes for this basket. The border is what seats in the portafilter — not the tamper figure the size is usually quoted by. See why “58mm” isn’t one standard.

That model name is an IMS product code — series, cup count, height and hole pattern are all encoded in it. IMS basket codes, decoded explains how to read one, and lists every code covered here.

This basket is one of a line. See every IMS B60 Competition basket compared — the whole ladder of heights and variants on one page, with the three diameters they share.

Fits these machines

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.
