About the puck screen

Less coffee residue on your shower screen.

Place the puck screen on the coffee after tamping. Water flows through the screen towards the puck, while the extra layer limits contact between coffee and shower screen. After brewing, remove and rinse it for the next brew.
Where does the puck screen sit?Show less

The shower screen sits above the coffee in your machine's brew group. The removable puck screen sits below it, on the tamped coffee. Both versions are stainless steel without a titanium coating. The difference is in the centre: the version with a hole leaves room for a central screw protruding from the shower screen.

What the puck screen adds

Keep your shower screen cleaner.

The screen forms a layer between the coffee puck and shower screen. Less coffee residue sticks directly to the shower screen. Take the removable screen to the tap after brewing.

Distribute water above the puck.

The double layer helps spread incoming water across the top of the coffee. Place the screen on a level, tamped puck with the finest holes facing the coffee.

Distribute and tamp the coffee before placing the screen.

Double layer · 0.8 mm thick

What does your preparation still determine?Show less

Water can still flow more easily through a looser part of the puck. A screen on top doesn't distribute the coffee underneath evenly. Keep paying attention to grind, dose and preparation. The screen helps distribute water, but doesn't guarantee better flavour or brewing without channelling.

Choose the shape that fits your brew group.

Does your shower screen have a central screw protruding towards the puck? The version with a centre hole provides a cut-out for it. If you don't need that cut-out, choose the version without a centre hole.

Even with the centre hole, the screen must lie flat and remain free from pressure by the brew group.

Is this right for me?

Consider your filter basket and brew group.

The right version lies flat on the coffee and fits beneath your shower screen without binding.

  • Your filter basket has room for 58.5 mm.

    The screen is intended for suitable filter baskets in the 58 mm size class. Check the internal diameter at the height where the screen sits. Your portafilter's stated size alone doesn't tell you whether it fits.

  • There's room above the coffee.

    The screen adds 0.8 mm on top of your puck. With your dose, enough space must remain to lock the portafilter normally without the shower screen or screw pressing the screen into the coffee.

How it works

Tamp, place the screen and make your espresso.

  1. 01

    Prepare your coffee.

    Dose your coffee into a clean, dry filter basket. Distribute the grounds and tamp straight. Allow for the space the screen takes on top of the puck.

  2. 02

    Place the fine side on the coffee.

    Place the clean screen flat on the tamped puck. The side with the finest holes faces down. The side with larger openings faces up. Don't tamp again on the screen.

  3. 03

    Brew your espresso.

    Insert the portafilter and brew according to your recipe. If locking it feels tighter than usual, check the fit and space above the coffee first. Don't lock the portafilter with extra force.

  4. 04

    Remove and rinse.

    Remove the portafilter once pressure has released. Remove the screen before knocking out the puck. It's hot after brewing, so let it cool first if needed. Rinse both sides and let it dry.

Even a thin screen takes up space.

There's clearance between the tamped coffee and shower screen. The puck screen takes up 0.8 mm of it. A centre hole can leave room for a protruding screw.
What if the screen sits too high?Show less

First check that the screen lies flat in the filter basket. If the combination with your current dose doesn't fit under the brew group, reduce the dose within your basket's range or use a suitable larger basket. There's no fixed number of grams to always leave out. If you change the dose, adjust your target espresso yield too and taste again.

Frequently asked questions

What else would you like to know?

Ask us about the puck screen
When should I choose the version with a centre hole?

If your brew group has a protruding central screw that needs a cut-out in the screen. Check that the screw fits inside the centre hole and enough space remains above the coffee. The hole is for fit, not a setting for a different flavour.

Why is the screen 58.5 mm for a 58 mm filter basket?

The 58 mm label describes a size class. Actual internal diameter varies between filter baskets and may narrow towards the base. A 58.5 mm screen therefore doesn't automatically fit every basket labelled 58 mm. It must lie flat on the coffee without binding against the wall.

Which side should face up?

The side with larger openings faces up. Place the side with the finest holes facing down, directly on the tamped coffee. This applies to both versions.

How do I clean the puck screen?

Rinse both sides with water after each brew and remove remaining coffee residue. Let the screen dry thoroughly before storing. Clean it by hand and don't put it in the dishwasher. Keep maintaining your shower screen and brew group too.

Is this the titanium version?

No. Both versions on this page are SUS304 stainless steel without a titanium coating. Here, you only choose between with and without a centre hole.

Do I receive both versions?

You receive one puck screen in the version you choose. Photos of both versions help you compare. It's not a set of two.
