Flair 58 Etched Puck Screen – etched puck screen for the Flair 58
You place the thin, black-coated disc on the tamped puck and pull the lever. The water meets the etched screen first and spreads more gently across the coffee bed.
The Flair 58 Etched Puck Screen is a magnetic stainless steel puck screen with a black PVD coating and a laser-engraved Flair 58 logo. Flair describes it as an upgrade for the Flair 58 and as the further development of the original screen with sintered mesh. Coffee Coaching Club is the official Swiss importer of Flair Espresso, with showrooms in Bern and Zürich.
Features
More even water flow
According to Flair, the etched screen clearly improves water distribution: the flow to the coffee bed becomes softer and more even, for more consistent results.
Easier to care for
Unlike the sintered mesh screen, the etched screen is easier to clean and does not hold back fines. Pre-wetting to avoid channeling at the edge is not necessary.
Magnetic and quick to preheat
The magnetic stainless steel can be lifted off with any magnet, including the magnet on Flair's movable Shot Mirror. The material also heats up faster than sintered mesh, so preheating is quicker.

Tip from the roastery: On the Flair 58 we like dense, full-bodied roasts such as Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, with a fine grind, 14.5 to 17 g of coffee and a ratio below 1:2. For maximum body without acidity, Very Nutty fits well; to discover a fruity side, Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
