Know before you buy
This screen is designed for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. If your machine uses a 58mm basket, it will fit, but it is always a good idea to measure your basket's internal diameter to ensure a flush fit.
The screen helps distribute water more evenly across the coffee bed, which reduces channeling and promotes a more balanced, consistent extraction. It also keeps your group head cleaner by preventing grounds from sticking to the shower screen.
Because the screen sits on top of the coffee puck, it may slightly alter the headspace in your portafilter. You might find you need to adjust your dose by a gram or two, or slightly tweak your grind size to maintain your preferred flow rate.
Simply rinse the screen under hot water immediately after pulling your shot. For a deeper clean, you can occasionally soak it in a coffee machine detergent or backflush solution to remove any accumulated oils.
Yes, it is best practice to keep the screen in the portafilter while the machine warms up. This ensures the screen is at the same temperature as the rest of your brewing equipment, preventing any temperature drop during the extraction.
