Normcore 58.5mm Puck Screen, 0.8mm Thickness, Lower Shower Screen, Reusable Metal Filter for 58mm Portafilter Basket, 316 Stainless Steel

This has perhaps the perfect thickness for clean espresso shots. I also have the Normcore 1.7mm puck screen. It takes more work to properly clean that one. Both work fine. The grouphead does not get any coffee in it anymore. A simple rinse gets the 0.8mm like new clean. Bottomless portafilter shots are consistently perfect. The WDT tool is most responsible for that, though.

Works well, love the hole indentation. Keeps my machine cleaner and distributes coffee well.

This screen saved my bottomless portafilter shots and works amazing. Great durability and easy to clean. Fits my 58mm portafilter no problem and the center circle is perfect for my gaggia classic GT.

Works great. Keeps my machine clean, is easy to clean and puck comes off the portafilter very easily. So easy that I don't even need to knock it to get it off.

It's like any other puck screen, but about 100x easier to clean. Does its job, does it well. Recommended.

I gave the Normcore 58.5mm Puck Screen a whirl, hoping it would bring my espresso game to the next level. It’s well-made, durable, and impressively thin at 0.8mm—perfect for adding that extra touch of finesse to extraction. And let me tell you, this little metal filter is like espresso magic in a disc form. In action, it worked great! My shots were more consistent, and cleanup was way easier with that added layer. But, as much as it upped my coffee game, it wasn’t quite the right fit for my setup. Whether it was the pressure balance or my particular machine’s quirks, I couldn’t get it to align with my usual espresso routine. So, it’s back to the basics for me. If your machine can handle a puck screen and you’re looking to level up your espresso shots, this is a fantastic little upgrade. For me, though, it was just a temporary guest in my coffee corner. It’ll be missed—by my espresso shots more than anything!

This is my favorite among the 4 puck screens I have. It’s thin, not easily bent, and distributes water nicely. Also, unlike 2 of my other puck screens, the top holes do not clog easily, but of course you still need to rinse well between shots. The extra 0.5mm on the edges makes it fit perfectly in my 58mm portafilter.

This puck is thinner that the first one I got (1.7 mm). It is just as wonderful, works like a charm- keeps the flow even and increases the pressure (I have trouble keeping the pressure up in my Breville Express), lots more crema, appears to keep coffee residue back up into the machine to none, and I can use fewer grams of coffee for a fabulous latte! I have also enjoyed great tasting Americanos with these puck screens.

Super thin and lightweight, high quality product! (Note: not compatible with 9barista)

Buen material resistente.

Se volete fare un balzo in avanti e migliorare la pulizia in estrazione ve lo consiglio caldamente!

This puck screen has been an excellent addition to my espresso workflow. Although it is the first one I have tried, I am impressed by the difference it makes to the extraction process. The screen distributes water evenly over the coffee bed, which helps to prevent channeling and results in a more balanced and consistent shot. I have noticed that the puck remains more cohesive after brewing, making it cleaner and easier to knock out. The build quality feels sturdy and well made, and it fits my 53.3 mm portafilter perfectly. The only minor challenge is removing the screen before knocking the puck into the box. This seems to be a common experience with puck screens in general rather than a flaw of this specific one, so it is more of a learning curve than a drawback. Overall, this tool has noticeably improved my espresso preparation. I would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve greater consistency in their shots and improve their overall coffee experience.

Does what it says on the tin. 🫡
