Description
xBalanced, consistent espresso with less channeling
The Normcore 51mm puck screen is a precision tool designed for lower shower heads. Made from 316 stainless steel, it features a single ultra-thin layer at 0.8 mm and a precisely perforated mesh at 0.18 mm. This combination is built to gently distribute water across the tamped coffee bed, aiming to promote an even extraction over the course of the shot.
In real use, you may notice a steadier pour, a more uniform bloom, and simpler cleanup after a shot. The puck screen is designed to replace disposable paper filters, potentially preserving the intended flavor profile by reducing disruption from reusable filtration methods. Its robust metal construction also helps keep the brew head cleaner between uses, minimizing coffee debris on the group head.
