Second coffee puck lower shower screen or contact screen for La Pavoni Post Mill

I bought this without expecting too much, and hoping it would make my pucks less susceptible to channeling. Having tried it I am amazed at the difference it made: 1) Less channeling 2) More uniform shots 3) Better tasting shots 4) Easier clean-up The screen definitely improves pre-infusion and puck stability if the portafilter is inserted before raising the lever. I get less channeling and better tasting shots. These screens are definitely now a standard part of my workflow. Highly recommended!

I use this as a contact shower screen which not only helps stop any coffee particles getting stuck on the main shower screen but it also allows for a much more evenly soaked puck with less channelling so you get a more even extraction. Expertly made piece of kit! Thank you!

This thing is excellent for people who prefer a cleaner shower screen. I've used cotton discs but they don't fit perfectly. This metal is dense and fits like a glove inside my basket.
