Puck Screen TEST. Is it worth? Shot comparison

[@abramo-yt]

Very useful / helpful comparison tests - inspiration to try same with my home espresso setup and see what I get. My trials already convince me that the benefits of puck screens overweight the minor nuisance of using them, at least at a hobby home environment like mine - involving only four cups per day (two for me, two for spouse!).

I like using the puck screen since it keeps the group head clean.

Great video on puck screen, one of my best “tools” for pulling shots!

think your tamper might need adjusting

[@brianfreland9065]

thanks for the video. i just ordered my very first personal machine for my new house and i got a knodos screen and dose funnel to go with my grinder and machine. its a cheap under 200 dollar casabrews machine so i was pretty sure id need the screen to slow down the shot and help keep the shot uniform and above a 10 second pull like those 20bar machines like to do. im hoping i can get it dialed in for a decent shot. well see soon when it arrives and i get it set up!

Great comparison. Thank you. My coffee extract is runny with minimum crema. I tried many things with the same machine and not helping. Does switching to dark roast help?

[@guywhopassby1367]

Dark roast beans provide less crema, light and medium has more crema, to have much crema you'll need fresh grind beans.

change grind size to 3

I just got my screens that u showed and they are awesome to use

[@AjusCafe]

Great.. they are good 👍

[@romab7515]

Thank you for the video. I just need to clarify: 1st shot w/o pack screen was 56.5 ml in 24 sec. Second shot with pack screen was 55 ml in... (i didnt see for how many seconds?) Was it the shorter time for the same yield with the pack screen?. Does the pack screen increase the yield with the same constant time. Thanks

[@luciodelgado]

Excellent!

[@shanewilson2152]

Hi Aju, your last shot was much better ☕👍

[@AjusCafe]

Thank you...

What about vs Paper on top?

[@AjusCafe]

This is reusable. Both are ok

[@cliffcox7643]

@@AjusCafe reusable, but less protective/filtering than paper.

[@AjusCafe]

Barista Max is Sunbeam brand. Dial more finer. But from what you explained, i believe the issue is the freshness of beans itself. Buy another small pack of freshly Roasted beans from a local roaster, which is Roasted not more than a week old. Use that and see the difference
