The Normcore puck filter is placed on top of the tamped coffee grounds and helps create a softer, more even water flow for your puck. It not only helps reduce channeling but also improves extraction. Best of all, it keeps your brew head (by minimizing contact with coffee grounds) and basket clean and tidy. The coffee pucks become more compact and can be ejected in one piece, leaving no mess.
With a filter fineness of 150 microns, this shower screen supports the full extraction of your coffee grounds.
1.7 mm (most popular) or 1 mm thickness?
It is recommended to choose a thickness of 1.7 mm if the coffee grind is normal, which will not affect normal extraction. If the coffee grind is coarser and very fine, a thickness of 1 mm for the puck filter is recommended.
Improved selection:
Since the fiber density of dark-roasted beans is higher than that of light/medium roasts, the volume of dark-roasted beans is greater for the same weight in grams. A thickness of 1 mm is recommended for dark-roasted beans, while 1.7 mm is recommended for light/medium roasts.
Additionally, please check if your shower screen is attached with a screw, as is the case with La Marzocco and Slayer devices. If so, please use at least 2g less e-liquid for your double shot. You can, of course, adjust this later to prevent your screen from touching the shower screen screw and bending it.
