LUCCA 58mm Puck Screen

Should be standard issue with all machines. I believe my espresso shots taste better than without the screen. Bonus for me is how much cleaner the machine stays. The pucks are always solid leaving no residue in the portafilter screen.

I was somewhat cynical about the Lucca puck screen really making a real difference in reducing channeling and improving the taste of the espresso. Well, I am here to tell you that the difference the puck screen made was nothing short of fantastic. I'm a believer! Lars

I can’t prove whether the Puck Screen works or not, but I think it does. I take all the steps I know of to produce the best expresso I can from my machine: consistent grind size, weight, break up whatever lumps there are, tamp with leveler, and now use the Puck Screen. My wife thinks the coffee is better also, so maybe it’s not my wishful thinking.
