I tried both VST and IMS baskets with my Brewtus II and also with my new Crem One Profiler. It can't hurt to get one. But, I can't taste the difference in shot taste between these baskets and the ones that came with the Brewtus. I have also tried improved shower screens. That seems to help a little. Only a little.
