DIY IMS Competition 54mm Basket Mod for Breville Portafilter

Sharing a honest first time experience modding the IMS competition basket for my Breville Barista Express. When I was looking into this I had a lot of questions about how to actually do it, so I figure there will be others out there with the same questions. So hopefully after this video, you will decide if this mod is worth the effort for you.

Though not perfect, but the mod is functional.

For those that want to avoid the trouble, this is the newer basket designed for Breville.
There seems to be 3 sizes available, but are out of stock everywhere I looked at time of writing.
