Know before you buy
Yes, the 58.5mm diameter is specifically designed to provide a snug fit for standard 58mm baskets, ensuring full coverage of the coffee bed.
Because the screen has a thickness of 0.8mm, it occupies a small amount of headspace. You may need to slightly reduce your coffee dose to prevent the screen from touching the group head shower screen when locked in.
The screen acts as a secondary shower head, diffusing the pressurized water more evenly across the surface of the coffee puck. This prevents high-velocity water jets from creating holes or channels in the grounds, leading to a more uniform extraction.
It is quite simple to maintain. You can rinse it under hot water immediately after use, or occasionally soak it in a coffee machine detergent to remove any built-up oils.
316 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and heat, making it the industry standard for espresso equipment. It ensures the screen remains durable and food-safe even after repeated exposure to high-temperature water.
