Normcore2 Packs 53.3mm Puck Screen with Stand - Reusable Contact Shower Screen with Silicone Holder - 1.7mm / 1.0mm Thickness 150μm Mesh - Compatible with Espresso Machine 54mm Portafilter Basket

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.

This puck screen works exactly as expected better water dispersion and less mess. It fits my 54mm portafilter perfectly and has made clean-up much easier. Solid quality. I have two already.

What a great product.The difference in my used pucks when I use this and when I do not is remarkable. They are tighter, more compact 100% soaked through evenly and I’ve never ever had any channeling.I’m using this with a rancilio rocky and a gaggia classic eco pro at home. And at my work we have a rancilio Silvia and a rancilio md40 grinder.Dame results at both places.Biggest bonus is how clean the group head stays.These are one of the best things you can buy if you’re making espresso. Period.

Just received the Normcore 58.5mm Puck Screen, and it's a beauty. Crafted from 316 stainless steel with a titanium PVD coating, its arrival in professional, no-fuss packaging impressed us from the start. The packaging itself is minimalistic and quality in its presentation alone.Unwrapping revealed the puck screen's sleek design, featuring a subtle Normcore label that's both stylish and understated. It fits our portafilter like a glove, adding not just to the aesthetics but significantly improving our coffee brewing process. It's been instrumental in reducing channeling and keeping things clean, making every brew smoother and more consistent.After a few uses, we're thrilled with its performance. It's not just a tool; it's an upgrade to our coffee setup, making each cup that much better and easier clean up as well. This puck screen is definitely a standout addition to our coffee-making process! Thank You!

The Normcore 53.3mm Puck Screen is a high-quality tool for espresso enthusiasts. Made from durable 316 stainless steel with a titanium PVD coating, it ensures even water distribution and minimizes channeling for consistent extractions. Its 100-micron mesh and 1.7mm thickness make it effective and easy to use, while the sleek design adds a premium touch. Cleaning is simple, and it fits perfectly in standard 53.3mm portafilters. Though slightly pricey, it’s a worthwhile investment for those seeking to enhance their espresso game.

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.
