Verybarista IMS Precision Shower Screen w/ Screw for La Cimbali - CI200IM

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.
