Normcore 58.5mm Puck Screen - 316 Stainless Steel with Titanium PVD Coating - Lower Shower Screen - Contact Screen - Reusable Metal Filter for Espresso Portafilter - 1.7mm Thickness 100 Micron Mesh

I have enjoyed making espresso at home for years with significant investment in ECM, Profitec, Ceado, etc.The fun part for me is there are always products being introduced that take things to the next level.My 1st experience with a 58.5mm puck screen was with another brand sold through a well known NY retailerof everything coffee. I purchased most of my equipment through them over the years, but buy lots of accessories on Amazon. I was so pleased with the result that I bought three more Normcore screens with two of their round silicone base storage racks through Amazon. All are great quality and function perfectly.Why do you need these screens? In my opinion, the little extra time needed to add the puck screen after the tamp andcleaning the screen is absolutely worth it. Most importantly, you will be shocked how clean your E61 Group Head, shower screen, and portafilter end up after a pull. I could not believe it! Candidly, I do not notice better tasting coffee,reduced channeling, etc., but everything stays clean, clean, clean! Additionally, a Nanotec Precision Shower Screen and 8.5mm Blue Silicone E61 Group Head Gasket (both purchased on Amazon) were very low cost, high benefit part replacements on my ECM.Note: One of my new screens ended up being the wrong size (53.3mm) even though I ordered a 58.5mm screen. The sleeve containing the screen was marked wrong and Amazon immediately exchanged it for the correct size.Summary: Highly recommended...a no brainer.

Un año continuo de uso moderado en casa y sigue consistente, sin daños aparentes.

Helps keep the Group Head clean. You may have seen discussions about puck screen benefits like preventing puck expansion, promoting more even water distribution, improving consistency, drier pucks, cleaner baskets...but what I like most is that it seems to do very well at keeping the shower screen clean. Some people seem to be just magically neat and clean. Not me. I make messes, sometimes big ones and I seem to get coffee grounds everywhere no matter how hard I try to keep them contained. Never made espresso on my new Breville without a puck screen except once when I forgot. After every use I wipe the shower screen and around it (the best I can) with a paper towel and the only time I got more than a VERY minute amount of coffee color on my paper towel was after the time I forgot to use this Normcore puck screen. Almost every time the paper towel is spotless and when it's not it is always up in the group head around the shower screen, I'm guessing from grounds I missed and didn't wipe from the rim of the portafilter. Bottom line, the only cons I have seen for puck screens are that you have to pay for them and clean them. This is a good one and I don't mind cleaning it.

Fantastic puck screen. keeps my bambino plus clean and it looks good.

Great puck screens. Thick metal screens with good flow. Overpriced for what they are

Filters my coffee just the way I like it

The Normcore 53.3mm puck screen fits and works well with my Breville Barista Express portafilter, helping to distribute water evenly for better extractions. The price was great for the quality it offers.The only downside is that cleaning isn’t easy—I often have to use the steam wand to remove coffee grounds stuck to the screen.Overall, it’s a useful tool at a great price, just be prepared for a bit more effort when it comes to cleaning.
