## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there any guidance of how to washing before use? Would you also suggest cleaning periodically with Cafiza of something similar?**
A: Soaked in Pulycaff solution pre use. Repeated every time I backflush my machine. Also rinse under pressure at the sink after each use ie spray water from tap through the disc. As it does such a good job of protecting the shower screen from coffee residue build up it results in a cleaner brew than without it. For clarity my machine is not an E61group

**Q: What difference does the thickness make? this puck is 3 times the price of no name thin ones does it honestly make a difference please?**
A: I think that the thickness means there is more space to diffuse the water before it hits the coffee puck. I'm not entirely sure on that but does this puck strainer make a difference? Yes. For me at least.

My Gaggia classic tends to destroy the puck and leaves it soggy. With this puck strainer I get drier pucks that are more in tact and knock out easier. I do go to the effort of pre-heating it because it does suck some temperature from the water which does have impact but you can work around that and for me it's been a big change

**Q: Is this dishwasher safe?**
A: Yes.

**Q: How long do these last for?**
A: Its a fine metal disc so basically "forever".  Just rinse after every use and clean with coffee granule cleaner once a week and should stay like new.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Normcore quality
*by W***L on 13 April 2025*

Usual Normcore quality, screen works well and definitely feels like a step up from the OOTB one included with my Flair.You get what you pay for and, in this case, that's a high quality screen that seems to work as advertised.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big improvement in flavour and consistency for small outlay.
*by R***N on 3 September 2022*

This gave me the best bang-per-buck improvement to my coffee making of any of the many bits I have bought over recent years. It is now a staple in my workflow. This device gets me more consistent results and reduces mess in the basket and group head.A bonus was that the thickness of this filter required a reduction in my recipe from 18g to 17g of coffee so that attaching the filled portafilter did not result in the filter touching the group head shower screen fixing bolt (Rancillio Silvia). You should look to have a gap between the filter and the shower screen to allow the filter to do its thing. The filter increases the resistance to the movement of water through the puck and so increases your water contact time for the same amount of coffee. This extra time increases your extraction so using less coffee or grinding a little less fine will likely be required to maintain your previous results from before you had the filter.The shower head is so much cleaner with this in play as coffee does not migrate to the shower screen as it is sandwiched in place. The puck knocks out so cleanly, its really satisfying to use :)Pros:More extraction due to increased resistance means I can use a little less coffee for a much better result. I get at least an extra double from each 250g bag of beans.Cleaning up / resetting the coffee machine ready for next use is quicker as less mess is created (1 caveat to that described below).My results are far more consistent with this filter in use. I also use a WDT distribution device prior to tamping and then adding the filter on top.I only need to backflush with machine cleaner every 2 weeks (used to need every week) as the shower head stays clean after each use. Quick 2 second flush of clean water before switching off gives clean water as output.The filter will need cleaning every 2 weeks in coffee machine cleaner - let it soak with everything else so no extra time required.Cons: Only one. When you knock out the puck of spent grounds you will need to tease the filter away from the hot puck and give it a quick rinse (with the basket and portafilter) and this sometimes results in grounds on your fingers, under you nails etc. Not a big deal for better coffee but I do think I needed to mention it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 Stars - great addition to my Sage Barista Express
*by P***S on 27 October 2023*

The aesthetic of this puck screen alone is great but it functions really well too!The black colour goes well with the portafilter and the machine itself.Pros:- fits perfectly in the Sage portafilter.- prevented channeling issues (which I found to be common enough if using the tamper that comes with the Barista Express).- comes out with a satisfying clean puck and extraction is somewhat improved.Cons:- I have only had this item for a couple of weeks yet there are signs that the pvd coating is wearing off.(this is the only reason I would mark this down 1/2 star for now). I'll continue to monitor this over coming weeks.TIP - If you are using the Barista Express, consider programming the machine to extend the shot time for better extraction
