{"product_id":"54mm-espresso-puck-screen","title":"Puck Screen 53.5mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA puck screen sits on top of the tamped coffee and spreads the water before it reaches the bed.\nIt evens out the flow coming off the shower screen, which is where most surface channelling\nstarts. It also keeps the group head clean: the coffee never touches it, so you lift the screen\nout with the spent puck instead of wiping the shower screen after every shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e53.5mm across, which is the internal diameter of a 54mm basket, so it drops flat onto the puck\nand needs no seating pressure.

It is symmetrical.

What it does is make the water arrive evenly, so the shot is more repeatable from one morning to the next. Most people notice consistency before they notice flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit under the shower screen with an 18g dose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. At 0.2mm it adds less height than a sheet of card. If your dose is so high that the puck already marks the shower screen, reduce the dose slightly, screen or no screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know my machine is 54mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLift the basket out of your current portafilter and measure straight across the top rim. Anything between 53mm and 54mm is this size. If you tell us your machine and the part still does not fit, that is on us: we treat it as not as described and pay the return postage both ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndefinitely, if you rinse it. It is stainless steel with nothing to wear out. Replace it only if it gets bent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crema Lab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54524722413901,"sku":"CL-PS535","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/0381\/0637\/files\/puckscreen-01-principale.jpg?v=1786903562","url":"https:\/\/cremalab.co.uk\/products\/54mm-espresso-puck-screen","provider":"Crema Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
