IMS E61 Precision Shower Screen Nanoquartz with ECM Engraving

IMS Precision Shower Screen E61 Nanoquartz with ECM Laser Engraving

What makes this IMS shower screen special?

The IMS Competition shower screen with exclusive ECM laser engraving combines proven IMS Competition technology with a high-quality nanoquartz coating. The result is particularly even water distribution, improved extraction, and significantly less coffee residue on the surface.

Thanks to the special nanoquartz finish, coffee oils and grounds adhere significantly less to the shower. This keeps the brew group cleaner longer and noticeably eases cleaning.

With 127 precision-made openings and a filtration performance of 200 µm, the shower screen ensures even water distribution over the entire coffee puck, supporting consistent espresso quality.

Who is this shower screen suitable for?

This IMS Competition shower screen is especially suitable for:

• ECM owners

• Profitec owners

• E61 machine owners

• Home baristas

• Espresso enthusiasts

• Users of high-quality precision screens

Ideal for anyone looking to optimize their espresso extraction while reducing cleaning effort.

Our assessment from the BaristaFix workshop

The IMS Competition shower screen is one of the most popular upgrades for E61 brew groups.

In our workshop, we generally recommend replacing the brew group gasket when changing the shower screen. Many customers are surprised at how much a worn shower can affect water distribution and thus extraction.

The nanoquartz version is one of the highest quality available variants and is a worthwhile investment, especially for demanding espresso drinkers.
