MHW-3BOMBER Espresso Puck Screen 53mm

MHW Espresso Puck Screen: 53mm Stainless Steel (0.8mm Thick) delivers improved espresso clarity and group head cleanliness with a tightly packed double-layer mesh for balanced flow and flavour.

Upgrade Your Extraction with the 53mm Stainless Steel Puck Screen

Built from durable SUS304 stainless steel, this 0.8 mm-thick espresso puck screen is precision-designed for consistent extractions across 53mm portafilter setups. Its 11848 ultra-fine holes distribute water evenly, reduce channeling, and help preserve the integrity of the puck. The screen also protects your group head from coffee residue—an ideal addition for baristas seeking better performance and simplified maintenance.

How the MHW 53mm Puck Screen Works

  • Fine mesh disperses flow: Prevents uneven water delivery and promotes better saturation.
  • Protects grouphead: Acts as a barrier to coffee particles and oils during extraction.
  • Improves puck integrity: Reduces turbulence for a more uniform spent puck.

Key Features of the MHW-3BOMBER Espresso Puck Screen

  • Flat profile design: Maintains headspace without reducing capacity.
  • Tested and certified: Compliant with food contact safety standards.

Comparison & Performance Insights

In extraction tests using 18g dark roast and a 53mm portafilter, the MHW puck screen showed more balanced flow, lower channeling, and a higher final yield. The extraction rate improved from 20.7% to 21.3%, with a more even flavour curve and reduced bitterness.

Maintenance & Cleaning

  • Hand rinse or wipe clean after use—do not use abrasive tools.
  • Avoid bending or denting the mesh to maintain structural integrity.
  • Do not place near strong magnets or on sensitive electronic scales.

Best Practices for Brewing

  • Use with a coffee tamper for optimal puck shape and density.
  • Pair with a WDT tool to prep a uniform coffee bed.

Questions and Answers

  • What does a puck screen do in espresso?
    A puck screen sits on top of tamped coffee to distribute water evenly and reduce channeling. It also helps keep the group head cleaner.
  • Is the 53mm puck screen compatible with Breville machines?
    Yes, the 53mm version fits Breville machines that use 53mm portafilters, such as the Bambino Plus and Barista Express.
  • Which side of the puck screen faces the coffee?
    Place the puck screen with the finer mesh side facing down, directly on top of the tamped coffee bed.
  • Can the puck screen go in the dishwasher?
    No, it should be hand-washed with warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the mesh and structure.
  • Does this puck screen reduce bitterness?
    Yes, by reducing channeling and improving flow distribution, it often leads to a cleaner, smoother taste with lower bitterness.

Review and Coffee Parts Thoughts

The 53mm puck screen works well in high-pressure setups and helps reduce the risk of uneven flow, especially with dark or dense roasts. It pairs well with tools like the MHW-3BOMBER WDT Tool and coffee tampers for better puck prep. For more gear, browse the distribution tools range or explore our espresso grinders.
