Features of the Normcore Puck Screen
Even water flow, clean brew group
The Puck Screen provides a gentler, more evenly distributed water flow into the puck. This reduces channelling and, according to Normcore, improves extraction. Because hardly any coffee grounds reach the shower screen, the brew group and basket stay clean. The puck becomes more compact and can be knocked out in one piece.
316 stainless steel, 150 µm mesh size
The mesh is made of 316 stainless steel with a mesh size of 150 µm. The 1.7 mm screen has five layers, the 1.0 mm screen three.
1.7 mm or 1.0 mm
Normcore recommends 1.7 mm for a normal dose, the most commonly chosen thickness. For a larger dose and a very fine grind, 1.0 mm is the choice. At the same weight, dark roasts have more volume than light and medium roasts, so 1.0 mm tends to suit them, while 1.7 mm suits light and medium roasts. Our opinion is one of many: what matters is what tastes good to you.
Stand included
Both screens stand upright in the included stand, within reach next to the machine.

Frequently asked questions about the Normcore Puck Screen
What does a Puck Screen do?
It distributes the water more gently and evenly over the coffee bed, reduces channelling and supports a more even extraction. At the same time, it keeps the shower screen of the brew group clean.
1.7 mm or 1.0 mm – which thickness?
Both are included. 1.7 mm is the most commonly chosen thickness for a normal dose and suits light and medium roasts. 1.0 mm is suited to larger doses, a very fine grind and dark roasts.
Does the Puck Screen fit my machine?
At 58.5 mm, it fits common 58 mm portafilters. If your shower screen is fastened with a screw, as on La Marzocco or Slayer, use about 2 g less for a double shot so that the screen does not touch the screw and bend.
How do I clean the Puck Screen?
Rinse thoroughly with water after use. If it is dirty, clean it with Cafiza or a burst from the steam wand.
Can I see the Puck Screen before buying?
Yes, you can see Normcore accessories live in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). We answer questions during business hours or by email at [email protected].
Tip from the roastery: With dense, darker roasts, the Puck Screen keeps the shower screen noticeably cleaner. For dense, sweet espresso, we reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full and round without acidity, choose Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
