Pesado High Diffusion Espresso Shower Screen - De'Longhi Kit

This Pesado De'Longhi kit combines a 51mm high-diffusion shower screen, an electro-polished 18g filter basket and a 0.2mm contact mesh. The three components are designed to work together: the 18-channel screen distributes water across the puck, the basket supports smooth coffee flow, and the mesh sits on the tamped puck. The basket is required because stock De'Longhi baskets are not compatible with this shower screen.

Perfect For

• Owners of compatible manual De'Longhi La Specialista espresso machines.
• Home baristas wanting a complete screen-and-basket upgrade rather than a shower screen alone.
• People preparing 16–18g doses and seeking repeatable espresso extraction.

Feature

• 51mm shower screen with 18 targeted channels designed to distribute water across the puck, including toward the basket wall.
• Electro-polished filter basket designed to reduce surface friction and support smooth flow.
• 0.2mm stainless-steel contact mesh sits on the puck to help retain its structure and reduce grounds reaching the screen.
• Components are supplied as a kit because the stock De'Longhi basket is not compatible with this screen.
• Pesado recommends brushing the screen channels regularly and removing the screen about weekly for a full clean.

FAQs

Will this fit every De'Longhi espresso machine?
No. It is listed for the manual La Specialista models named in Specifications. Check your exact model before ordering.

Can I use my stock filter basket?
No. The supplied information says stock De'Longhi baskets are not compatible with this screen, which is why the screen is supplied with the matching basket.

What dose does the basket hold?
It is an 18g basket, with product guidance indicating a 16–18g dose.

What does the contact mesh do?
It sits on the tamped puck and is designed to help retain puck structure and keep coffee grounds from contacting the screen.

How do I clean the shower screen?
Brush away grounds regularly. Pesado recommends removing it about once a week to wash the screen and screws.
