58.5mm Espresso Puck Screen, 0.8mm Dual-Layer Stainless Steel Filter, Even Extraction & Cleaner Group Head, Fits 58mm Portafilter Basket, FG5590

Works great! I like that’s it’s thicker than the very thin puck, but not too thick which forces me to use less grounds. Cleans well, grounds rinse right off. Water seems to flow right though, of course this is dependent upon grinds. Great puck! Video attached showing the pull.

Purchased this, and the black titanium coated version, they both arrived 23 days ago. Using these both and alternating between the two to pull 3-6 shots daily total I hadn’t noticed much of a difference. They feel nice not too heavy or light, fit in the portafilter well, clean up easily, and keep my head clean. All in all, works just fine. As of this morning, the screen is beginning to split from the other side as it’s just stuck together. This allows a bit of ground to make its way between the screen and holed part. Without damaging further, it is quite difficult to clean. Unfortunate, as I was a big fan of these to begin with. The titanium coated version has seen a bit more use, and seems to be holding up just fine. When in proper working order, they do a great job of keeping the head clean, and come out of the portafilter very easily. EDIT: Original review 2 stars as the portafilter screen split as seen in the photo. Seller contacted immediately with options to correct the situation. Was prompt, and friendly. Great customer service, will absolutely order from them again.

As my title states this is my go to screen. I too fell onto the screen bandwagon and doing my own Coffee beans for many years roasting my favorite single origin, so I know enough about coffee and espresso to be dangerous. With my double boiler machine, one thing that always bothered me , is sometimes it could channel no matter how careful I was with grind tamping and all those other finesse things that we get trapped into. There are lots of opinions on why this occurs, and I have explored them over the years , but I have found a screen, pretty much eliminates any of my channeling problems. So now it came down to just a matter of thickness and mesh size . After quite a bit of testing this disc has become my absolute favorite. A great balance between being overly thick and taking up too much space or being so thin that it becomes flimsy and you get some grind splashing up around the edges. Turns out this is like the baby bear says , just right. I now have no more channeling , clean up is faster. My water screen doesn’t get dirty , nothing but positives. The last picture shows the three screens that I’ve been trying different styles different thicknesses so as you can see, I’ve been through a little bit of testing.

Great quality and a very competitive price! These are thinner but strong. Being thin allows you to use the screen without reducing your basket volume. The hole in the center is perfect for machines with an exposed screen screen, such as the La Marzoccos. The screen does seem to be a bit dirtier and the pucks a bit sticker than a much thicker and cheap screen.

Perfect to use with my Breville barista express. The filter helps keep the head of the espresso machine clean while also evenly distributing the water that penetrates the coffee grounds. I have been able to dial in my coffee shots with this one piece as well as using a high quality tamper. No more uneven coffee flow through the portafilter.

Not a coffee game changer, but here are the benefits: 1) Cleaner operation of group head over multiple shots 2) An extra layer of dispersion to avoid channeling incrementally Negatives: 1) Knocking out requires two steps - knock gently to remove disc, knock hard to remove puck - if you don’t like touching not for you 2) On finicky beans that require a very even distribution and acceptance of water from the group head will actually reduce flow and cause over extraction. So you have to know which beans and grind benefit and don’t from using the disc OR you need to recalibrate grind and pressure for using disc with that finicky bean extraction Overall Better than other screens/discs I have used due to thinness and difference in the two sides. Knowing when and how to use optimizes. Not as big a deal if you dial in on one bean and grind.

Great product! Does what it’s supposed to and I ended up buying two. It fits my ECM baskets perfectly.

I got my espresso machine about 5 months ago and purchased cheaper & thinner pucks, which worked just fine but always had my eye on these as they just simply looked nice. So far I have been very impressed and happy with my purchase! Taste hasn't changed changed the taste but shot times remained the same and they are FAR easier to clean after each pull. Quick rinse and your golden and they don't hold any grinds after running under water briefly. I also like the weight they have and I am not worried they will bend. SPEND THE EXTRA $5-10 bucks compared cheaper options!!!

I think this made my coffee better. Just remember to take it out of your compost bin when u knock it out of your portafilter. A few times I forgot and had to dig in my city bins for it.

Works great with my gaggia classic. I believe you can get these with a hole in the middle which would have been better but overall great quality.

Ich verwende dieses Puck-Sieb in einer La Marzocco Micra. Diese hat in der Mitte des Siebes eine Schraube, die durch das Puck-Sieb schön rundherum abgedeckt wird. Die Verarbeitung des Siebes ist toll. Ich verwende das Puck-Sieb ausschließlich damit die Maschine durch das Kaffeepulver aus dem Siebträger nicht verschmutzt wird. Und genau hier sind Papierfilter besser. Man kann sie perfekt mit dem benutzten Puck entsorgen, während man das Metallsieb reinigen muss. Das Sieb der Maschine bleibt mit Papierfiltern zu 100% sauber während das vorhandene Metallsieb durch die mittige Auskerbung für die Schraube, doch ein wenig Pulver reinlässt. Außerdem ist das Metallsieb etwas dicker als ein Papierfilter, ergo passt weniger Pulver in den Portafilter. Das ist nicht tragisch aber man muss es wissen. Für die Öko-Freunde: Ich weiss nicht ob das Wasser zum Reinigen des Metallsiebes wirklich umweltfreundlicher ist als die dünnen Papierfilter. Sei‘s drum: wer einen Siebträger mit Schraube in der Mitte hat und ein Metallsieb will, kann getrost zugreifen, es lohnt sich. Persönlich bevorzuge ich die Papierfilter, werde das Teil aber trotzdem behalten.

ممتاز

Out of the many Ive used, this is the one that I like the most, thing profile, cleaning is very easy and very good price
