Normcore Puckscreen

The Normcore Puck Screen is designed for 58.5mm portafilters. It is compatible with most standard 58mm commercial-style espresso machine baskets, but you should verify your specific basket diameter to ensure a proper fit.

The screen helps distribute water evenly across the coffee bed, which minimizes channeling and promotes a more uniform extraction. This results in a more balanced and consistent flavor profile in your cup.

Yes, it acts as a physical barrier between the coffee puck and the shower screen. This prevents coffee grounds from being sucked back into the group head, significantly reducing the frequency of deep cleaning required for your machine.

Cleaning is straightforward; simply rinse the screen under warm running water after each shot. For a deeper clean, you can occasionally soak it in a coffee machine detergent solution to remove any built-up oils.

Because the screen takes up a small amount of headspace in the basket, you may need to slightly reduce your coffee dose by 0.5 to 1 gram to prevent the screen from pressing too hard against the shower screen.
