Espresso Puck Screen (FDA 21 CFR / EU 1935/2004 food contact) is used for spreading shower-head water evenly over the espresso puck and keeping the group-head screen clean.
Diameter: Choose 0.2–0.5 mm under the basket inner diameter so the screen sits flat without binding.
Thickness: A 1.7 mm sintered screen raises headspace use; a 1.0 mm single-mesh screen suits shallow baskets.
Construction: Sintered multi-layer screens are rigid and stay flat; laser-cut single mesh is lighter and cheaper.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Place the screen on the tamped puck, mesh side down, and reduce the dose slightly to keep headspace.
Rinse after each shot and soak with espresso cleaner daily so the sintered layers do not retain oils.
Common Mistakes
Leaving the dose unchanged so the screen touches the group gasket and the portafilter will not lock.
Buying a screen sized to the basket rim rather than the inner floor diameter.
When Espresso Puck Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not useful in pressurized baskets or capsule machines, where water distribution is set by the machine.
Espresso Puck Screen is made to order as finished parts. Indicative pricing starts from about US$0.90 per piece for a standard size at production quantity; the final price depends on size, material, finish, tooling and order volume. Send your configuration from the drawing above for a quotation.
Espresso Puck Screen — FDA 21 CFR / EU 1935/2004 food contact
Spreading shower-head water evenly over the espresso puck and keeping the group-head screen clean.
Does an espresso puck screen improve shots?
It spreads water more evenly and reduces channeling, especially on machines with poor shower screens, and keeps the group cleaner.
Which way up does a puck screen go?
Place it on top of the tamped coffee; most sintered screens are symmetric, while laminated ones have the fine side down.
Do I need to reduce my dose with a puck screen?
Usually by 0.5–1 g, because the screen takes up headspace above the puck.
