2 Pack 58mm Puck Screen, Espresso Filter Screen for 58mm Portafilter Basket, Lower Shower Screen - 1.7mm Thickness 150μm Mesh - 316 Stainless Steel

I use it with my Breville. Now the pressure is always in range (9 bars). I make sure to rinse it right after (it gets hot so be careful). No clogging, no blockage. Very fine holes and the product is a thick and well made mesh. Used it for almost 2 months or so, every day, 4-6 times. No fraying of edges etc. either. I do not put in a dishwasher as I found that a simple rinse is enough to keep it clean.This is the only helpful tool that made the pressure get to the range consistently. I have the WDT tool etc. too. Don’t use any of them now. Grind beans at espresso range (setting of 2 to 2.5 on my machine). Then I pour the grinds using the neck collar (see my review). Take the collar off. I knock the sides of the portafilter with the tamper to settle the grinds. And then just tamp (practice was needed) the coffee grinds and put this steel mesh on top of the grinds inside the portafilter and I’m ready to go. Consistent perfect pressure range performance EVERY SINGLE TIME!! Get the perfect ‘crema’ without a sweat. And I tried every technique and watched all the videos online by two of the most famous barista’s.Trust me. I went from failing and failing to succeeding 100% of the time. All because of this product. Made me get the perfect espresso every time. And I make about 6-8 shots (family and friends) at a minimum every day. Some days 12. And never a fail.This distributes pressure evenly, for sure. And when I take it out, it has no crema, only some coffee grinds on the under side.Also protects the machine side from getting the hot water holes clogged. Thank you! What a great product!! Congratulations to the designers and makers of this. Love what you guys make!!

these are working quite well and keeping my espresso machine from getting grounds up in the one area and it also helps in distributing the water as it's being forced out

Dealing with espresso pucks rebelliously sticking to the machine was a daily struggle until I discovered this puck screen. It's a savior for keeping those pucks where they belong—in the portafilter. The snug fit is a game-changer, preventing messy mishaps and making cleanup a breeze.However, a minor hiccup surfaces when attempting a single shot on the Breville Barista Touch Impress. The portafilter, tightly packed with the puck, poses a challenge in fully fitting it onto the machine. It's a tad frustrating, but the convenience of keeping the puck contained outweighs this minor inconvenience. For those reveling in the art of espresso-making, this puck screen is a crucial addition, with a small caveat for the single-shot enthusiasts using the Breville Barista Touch Impress.

We have an Anita Evo espresso machine and use a Silinzio grinder with a calibrated tamp. and measure 18-19g in and pour 36-40g of espresso in a range of 26-35 seconds. Our espresso has been pretty dialed for a bit now, however i would still get occasional uneven espresso shots with variable tastes. I added this screen to the mix to help keep the screen on the machine cleaner and also to aid in pouring a more consistent espresso. It’s been a week and I’m definitely impresssdd with the consistency and quality of the shots. We use a different single origin espresso blend each week - and up til now, I was unable to consistently pour perfect shots almost every day of the week. I’ve had another screen in the past with little to no effect on the shots. I’m not sure what makes this one good, but it definitely elevates the extraction.Note: if you’re not weighing your espresso beans before grinding, then weighing the output + timing them, or don’t have a grinder able to do a proper espresso grind, then the screen won’t do much for you. Get that stuff dialed first…The screen is the icing on the cake. If the cake is half baked and is made from poor ingredients, it isn’t gonna matter how good the icing is. The cake will still taste like garbage. Buy good quality beans. Medium/Light roast - explore single origin. Avoid Starbucks, Peet’s. Espresso should have notes that fill your palate with the goodnesss of fruits, honey, cacao, pear, apple, walnut…. Not just bitter/burnt Starbucks

works in Breville expresso machine

Tried to use this for my Rancilio Silvia and it was a failure. I think the issue is the standard screw that holds the shower screen and heating element in place doesn’t allow for this. Maybe if I replace that hex screw with a flat-head screw it’ll work, but just a heads up, this won’t work for a newer Silvia out of the box.

Excellent product to keep the coffee maker head clean. I have a breville and save a lot of water by not having to clean the head after each use.
