We all know the importance of proper puck prep before pulling a shot, but did you know that one of the main culprits of channeling can often stem from an uneven distribution of water from your machine's group head during extraction? This tends to be very common, particularly in prosumer machines, and can wreak havoc on your shots if left

Great pick screen that greatly enhances flavor to your espresso shots.

The Crema puck screen is essential for a balanced shot and less channeling. It keeps my group head clean and I can honestly say its a small upgrade that makes a huge difference in maintenance.
