Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen
Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen
The Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen is a round, high-strength, tightly woven, multi-layered metal mesh made of food-grade stainless steel for use in the portafilter of an espresso machine.
The easy and uncomplicated use can minimize so-called channeling by ensuring better, more even water distribution in the coffee grounds, leading to a more consistent extraction.
Additionally, when in use it keeps the brew head cleaner and protects against the intake of coffee grounds.
It is made of high-quality alloyed stainless steel, making it durable, sustainably reusable, easy to clean, safe to use and, most importantly, tasteless.
The Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen ensures precise filtration accuracy for every diameter thanks to the exact multi-layered “twilled” metal thread weave with an optimized density of 150µm at a thickness of 1.7mm.
The usual side rounding was also omitted in order to ensure a precise sharp edge and thus more precise extraction right up to the edge of the sieve.
An excellently manufactured puck screen should, in principle, offer no significant resistance to the pump pressure or water flow, and therefore the extraction time should not differ significantly from previous applications.
Only the more even distribution of water should positively influence the difference in the result in the cup.
A high-quality puck screen can be recognized by the fact that when you hold it up to the light and tilt it slightly, a uniform and compact weave can be seen.
Application:
The dry and pre-warmed Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen is placed on the appropriately prepared and dry puck in the portafilter before brewing coffee.
Grinding, fill quantity, water temperature and pump pressure may need to be adjusted beforehand.
In any case, the Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen increases the compression of the coffee grounds, achieves a more even water distribution, and minimizes the erosion of the coffee grounds during the process, depending, however, on whether a standard sieve/shower or a precision sieve/shower is used.
Preheating the Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen before brewing is recommended; otherwise, a different temperature development will result, which in turn would necessitate consideration of a corresponding parameter in the preparation.
We also recommend cleaning immediately after use by rinsing or steaming (simply place the Hauck Coffeenizer Puck Screen in a cup and clean it using steam from the steam wand or place it in the cleaned portafilter and "flush").
Please do not clean in the dishwasher or with harsh cleaning agents!
The Hauck Coffeenizer Espresso Puck Screen must be clean and dry before each use.
Conclusion: There are also enormous differences in quality among puck screens.
