A puck screen (contact screen) sits on top of the tamped puck to spread water
more evenly and reduce channeling, and keeps the group’s shower screen cleaner.
This is the 51mm size, which Normcore’s own guide names for De’Longhi —
the 51mm portafilter format used across the Dedica and La Specialista lines.
It does not fit the 54mm Breville/Sage machines (those take the
53.3mm screen) or the 58mm commercial
standard (the 58.5mm screen). Puck screens
are one of the few accessories where the 51mm format is well served, since most
aftermarket espresso gear targets 58mm.
It is 316 stainless, 1.7mm thick, in a 150μm mesh (silver) or a finer 100μm mesh
(Black Titanium PVD). Verified against Normcore’s official product page on
