Hi guys, I ordered an IMS competition shower screen yesterday and can't wait to swap out my bone stock screen that's in there at present. Im aiming for improved cleanliness and better water distribution on the screen. Ive been using a synesso ridgleless double basket and wondering if its worth pairing the new shower screen with an IMS basket?

So far my hopes have been proved right. It is more finicky than the Synesso, but a lot less than the VST. While the flavours aren't quite as good as the VST, the extra attention required for the dose and distribution have been worth it, as the flavours are quite superior to the Synesso IMHO. Funnily enough I've gone back to a style of distribution and tamping that I last used when I owned a Giotto. Physically, the ridged IMS basket sits between the straight sided VST and the gently curved Synesso, and I think this has a lot to do with the improved favours that I'm tasting, as it compares well to the VST (when I get that one right!). IMS have their own propriety way of sizing, locating and shaping the holes in the bottom of the basket which would also play a part in the way it delivers the flavours.
Question for Ash: how are you finding the IMS basket after a couple months of usage? Cheers Ron
