Know before you buy
You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket to ensure a snug fit. We offer 51mm, 53.5mm, and 58.5mm options to accommodate most standard home and professional espresso machines.
Because the 100μm mesh provides a slight amount of resistance, you may notice a minor change in flow rate. You might need to adjust your grind slightly coarser or finer to dial in your preferred extraction time.
Yes, the plate occupies a small amount of headspace in your basket. If you are already dosing at the maximum capacity of your basket, you may need to reduce your coffee dose by 0.5 to 1 gram to prevent the plate from pressing too hard against the shower screen.
Rinse the plate with hot water immediately after each shot to prevent coffee oils from clogging the mesh. For a deeper clean, soak it in a coffee machine detergent or an espresso cleaning solution periodically to ensure the 100μm holes remain clear.
Unlike paper filters, this SUS316 stainless steel plate is reusable and allows more of the coffee's natural oils to pass through into your cup. It also acts as a dispersion screen to prevent channeling and ensure water hits the coffee puck evenly.
