{"title":"Puck Screens","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEverything about puck screens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you ever wondered if the use of a coffee puck screen is really necessary? We can be clear, no it is not necessary to brew a good espresso. But are you a home barista always striving for the best? Or a home barista struggling with channeling? Then we recommend you try a puck screen. It makes brewing good coffee easier as it prevents splashing (channeling) with a naked portafilter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA puck screen assists with the perfect distribution of water, resulting in a more balanced taste of the espresso. You also no longer have to clean your brewing group with your brewing group brush after each shot. In our opinion, although not a must, a coffee puck screen is a great addition to brewing espresso. Plus, it's a small investment and a big joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Tip: After you've received your puck screen, you can try something fun. Brew an espresso with your favourite coffee beans without a puck screen and then with a puck screen. What do you think of the taste difference? \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDifferent types of espresso puck screens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspresso puck screens come in all sorts of different types, thicknesses, and sizes. Most puck screens have a thickness of 1.6mm\/1.7mm. This thickness is perfect for distributing water and also keeps your brewing group clean.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost puck screens are made of steel. To extend the life of your puck screen, it's important to buy one made of quality material. Our puck screens are all made of stainless steel. This means your puck screen won't rust and will last a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 51mm, 54mm, or 58mm puck screen?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the different materials of puck screens, these screens also come in different sizes. The size of such a puck screen depends on the size of the portafilter you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can imagine that a 54mm puck screen won't fit a 51mm portafilter. Therefore, you match the size of your puck screen to the size of your portafilter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what size puck screen do you need? That's sometimes a bit of a search and also depends on the brand of your machine. That's why we've made a size chart.
