Our take
Buy it if
Flair 58 and other 58 mm espresso owners who want cleaner group heads and more even saturation.
Think twice if
Takes up a little headspace; very full baskets may need a slightly smaller dose
Advantages and limitations
Advantages
- Etched 0.4 mm holes are easy to rinse and don't trap fines
- Only 0.5 mm thick, so it needs no preheating or prewetting
- Magnetic 304 stainless steel can be lifted off the puck with a magnet (not included)
- 58.55 mm across, covering standard 58 mm baskets edge to edge
Limitations
- Takes up a little headspace; very full baskets may need a slightly smaller dose
- The magnet for lifting it off is sold separately
Overview
A puck screen is a thin metal disc placed on top of the tamped coffee. It spreads the incoming water more evenly and stops grounds sticking to the machine's shower screen, so there is less to clean after every shot.
Flair's version is etched rather than woven mesh. That keeps it very thin and means fines can't get trapped in it; a rinse under cold water is enough. The black finish with a laser-etched logo also looks good in a bottomless portafilter.
Part of a 58 mm setup with a bottomless portafilter and a self-levelling tamper. If you prefer disposable, paper filters do a similar job.

Compatibility & maintenance
Made for 58 mm portafilters, as on E61-group machines and the Flair 58. It does not fit the 54 mm portafilters of the Breville Bambino Plus or Barista Express.
Rinse under cool water after each shot. Being magnetic, it is easiest to lift off the puck with a small magnet.
