Looks good

HUGH was easy to order from, delivery was fast - From Korea to United Kingdom in less than 7 days. The IMS competition basket looks great & well made with clean lines, the holes are straight & smooth.

However, due my own fault I have yet to use the basket - I purchased to use in my Picopresso (after seeing it in a YouTube video), and it does fit BUT the tamp that comes with the Picopresso is too big. This is purely my fault. When I've found out what size tamp to use, I can run some shots through.

The service by HUGH and the quality by appearance and feel of the basket warrants 5 stars.

works and looks great

the only thing I can add is that it would be even better if you had a 1 dose filter basket in 51 mm
