Fitting & Care

  • Back-flush daily and remove the screen monthly to soak it in espresso cleaner.

Common Mistakes

  • Letting coffee oils build up until holes clog and shots channel.

When Espresso Machine Group Head Shower Screen Is Not the Right Choice

Not a puck screen — puck screens sit on top of the coffee in the basket, not in the group head.
