The IMS Precision Shower Screen CI200IM, developed in collaboration with Verybarista and manufactured by IMS Filtri, is a purpose-built upgrade for baristas seeking improved extraction consistency through controlled water delivery. This custom version introduces a refined perforation layout and a dedicated low-profile screw, engineered as a system to address uneven flow patterns commonly caused by the central screw area. The result is a more uniform saturation of the coffee bed, improved repeatability, and cleaner extractions without altering workflow or machine settings. Key Benefits More even water distribution across the puck Reduced flow disruption around the central screw zone Improved extraction uniformity and shot repeatability Flush-mounted screw eliminates puck interference Precision manufacturing for long-term stability Custom Perforation Design Unlike standard shower screens with uniform or radial hole layouts, the CI200IM features a custom centric perforation pattern developed specifically for this model. What this changes in practice: Water delivery is redistributed away from the screw axis Pressure drop is equalized across the shower surface Localized under-extraction near the center is reduced The coffee puck receives a more homogeneous pre-infusion and extraction phase This design is particularly effective when paired with precision baskets and fine grind settings, where small flow inconsistencies become more pronounced. Included Low-Head Precision Screw (M5 × 16) The CI200IM is supplied with a custom-designed low-head M5×16 screw, engineered specifically for this shower screen. Technical Advantages Low-profile head sits flush with the screen surface Prevents contact with the coffee puck Eliminates turbulence and channel initiation at the center Ensures correct seating without over-compression Unlike generic screws, this component is dimensioned to work in harmony with the CI200IM screen geometry, preserving the intended flow pattern.
