xOverview
Meet the Normcore 53.3mm Puck Screen, a reusable metal filter crafted for espresso setups that use a 54mm portafilter basket. Made from 316 stainless steel, this lower shower screen is designed for everyday use in home kitchens and busy cafes alike. It aims to promote steadier water flow and a solid puck, helping you steer toward smoother extractions without relying on disposable paper filters.
How it works
The puck screen combines a durable 1.7mm thick Penta-layer with a 150μm micro-structure. This layered design helps to distribute water more evenly across the puck, encouraging stability and reducing sudden spurts during the shot. The goal is a more even, balanced extraction rather than a single dramatic surge.
