IMS E61 Nanotec Precision Shower Screen
The water comes out finely distributed over the whole surface and meets the puck evenly. The IMS E61 Nanotec Precision shower screen replaces the stock shower screen of your E61 machine, buy here with delivery throughout Switzerland.
It belongs to the IMS Competition Line (item code E61200NT): a one-piece stainless steel shower screen with an integrated membrane and Nanotech coating, designed for E61 group heads.
Features
Integrated membrane
The membrane is created directly within the body of the shower screen using a patented photo-etching process. The micro-perforations within the thickness of the material filter at 200 µm. According to IMS, the screen thus holds back particles that would otherwise be drawn into the group head and towards the solenoid valve when the pressure is released.
Nanotech coating
The Nanoquartz coating is water-repellent. The water falls in fine drops evenly over the whole surface and saturates the coffee grounds homogeneously. According to IMS, used pucks come off more easily and the surface is easier to clean.
One-piece construction
Because the screen body is made from a single part, it is more resistant according to IMS. The surface is completely smooth, without rough spots where dirt and coffee oils build up. On top of that comes IMS's own hole pattern.
Even distribution means that the soluble compounds are dissolved to a similar degree across the whole puck. That does not automatically make a shot better, but more reproducible. No two shots are alike: the bean, the humidity and how you feel on the day change. What counts is what tastes good in the cup.

Who it is made for
For everyone with an E61 espresso machine whose shower screen needs replacing, or who wants to switch to a membrane shower screen. You will find more parts from IMS in our IMS Collection, and cleaning accessories in Machine and Grinder Cleaning.
Beneath the shower screen lies the puck. For everyone who wants an affordable and precise puck screen and tamper: the Normcore Collection. If you want a puck screen and tamper made from milled stainless steel: the Weber Workshops Collection. The choice is a matter of taste; our opinion is one of many.
Care: according to IMS, rinsing with water and a microfibre cloth are usually enough. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive brushes where possible, as they wear away the Nanotech coating over time. If necessary, use only mild products intended for this purpose. If you are looking for a new machine, the advice tool helps.

What does the Nanotech coating do?
It is water-repellent. As a result, fewer coffee grounds stick to the screen, and it is easier to clean.
How do I clean the shower screen?
According to IMS, rinsing with water and a microfibre cloth are usually enough. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive brushes where possible, because they wear away the Nanotech coating over time.

Tip from the roastery: An evenly wetted puck shows what a bean has to offer. We roast Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight for dense, round espresso with chocolate and nut. For maximum body without acidity: Very Nutty. For a fruity experience: Wild Peach. Other beans work just as well. That is our recommendation, one of many.
