MHW-3BOMBER 51mm Espresso Puck Screen 2 Packs Metal Coffee Filter Reusable Espresso Filters for 51mm Portafilter Basket 0.8mm Thickness FG7008S-OS

Great screens! I love MHW3 products and this is another to add to the list. Does great keeping my group head clean and keeps almost all of the grounds contained. Cleanup is easy and quick. It’s still thin enough to not take up much space in the basket yet rigid enough to withstand a good amount of abuse. Fits perfect in my 58 mm baskets. Makes prepping and pulling shots easier and cleaner. But I’m pretty sure the pic shows me using it upside down. A simple flip and I’m back in business! Even makes knockouts clean and easy too.

I've come to rely a lot on MHW-3Bomber products, they all have been well made and do a great job. This screen performs as it's supposed to, and has helped up my daily routine. Distributes the water evenly, and has helped reduce channeling. Definitely keeps the shower screen clean. Good quality, the machining of the holes seems clean and consistent, and it's sturdier than similar screens of the same thickness I've tried.

As my title states this is my go to screen. I too fell onto the screen bandwagon and doing my own Coffee beans for many years roasting my favorite single origin, so I know enough about coffee and espresso to be dangerous. With my double boiler machine, one thing that always bothered me , is sometimes it could channel no matter how careful I was with grind tamping and all those other finesse things that we get trapped into. There are lots of opinions on why this occurs, and I have explored them over the years , but I have found a screen, pretty much eliminates any of my channeling problems. So now it came down to just a matter of thickness and mesh size . After quite a bit of testing this disc has become my absolute favorite. A great balance between being overly thick and taking up too much space or being so thin that it becomes flimsy and you get some grind splashing up around the edges. Turns out this is like the baby bear says , just right. I now have no more channeling , clean up is faster. My water screen doesn’t get dirty , nothing but positives. The last picture shows the three screens that I’ve been trying different styles different thicknesses so as you can see, I’ve been through a little bit of testing.

This is solid , works great . No more coffee grounds to clean up. Just make sure you order correct size.

I’m not sure how folks are giving this a bad review at all. This puck screen is my first one and it is a VERY good first impression to this type of tool. It actually kept my group-head clean after pulling a shot, and no issues with extraction. Also, it really is easy to clean, I was surprised! I recommend this product to anyone who is interested in trying out or like to keep their belongings clean.

Very high quality. Looks nice. Very easy to use. Fair price. If I ever need another one I will go with this one.

Getting a little more sophisticalted with my espresso making, and these work really well to distribute the water over my espresso. They are beautiful, fit my portafilter perfectly and work as designed. They keep my espresso machine cleaner as well by using them (or at least seems to). The photo is just to show sizing, I already had my coffee this morning.

For the pure enthusiast of good espresso, puck screens are a must have. These particular screens come off as being of good quality and perfect filters for that intended purpose. Actually, any espresso puck will work but some are better than others. All have a definite learning curve or adaptability curve to tend with. With these screens you lessen that, to a point, and still achieve that espresso extraction you are craving. They fit most portafilter baskets with little 'escape' potential. Meaning when in use you achieve little "bleeding' from the edges. Which is a good thing. The width is ideal for everyday use and certainly enhances your experiences with extraction. Again, there is a learning curve, and you may have to adjust your grind(s) to get the 'correct' extraction. Something that is inherent with screens but worth the effort. You can certainly go with paper, but probably will not get the consistency you are seeking with reuseable metal ones. Final note? If you are in the market for getting the near perfect extraction, eliminate channeling, and increasing your love for espresso, then by all means look into these for your espresso collection. For a lot more you can get high-end screens that will do just about the same thing, but dollar for dollar, these won't disappoint. Good quality, good materials, and thus far produce desired espresso.
