During pre-infusion, when the puck is most vulnerable to uneven soaking, this consistent diffusion stops micro-channeling before it starts, before pressurisation exaggerates it into a ruined shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. 51mm EP Electro Polished Filter Basket\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eReduced friction means the liquid flows more freely through the basket and sides.

This is due to the water gripping to the mesh, causing an irregular water flow every extraction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe HD High Diffusion Espresso Shower Screen has been designed with channels to distribute the water flow exactly where we want it to be every time. Using this method allows us to hit the exact area we need to every extraction, distributing the water flow outwards across the entire puck bed, evenly. The HD Shower Screen also has a unique feature where the outer channels run all the way to the edge, allowing water to flow directly out the ends into the basket wall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Diffusion Puck Clearanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDelonghi 51mm shower screens are only designed to cover up to 40mm in diameter, leaving oer 10mm around the perimeter, resulting in a smaller surface area of about 20% less coverage.
