Pesado High Diffusion Shower Screen - EX54HD Breville Barista Express and Infuser 54mm

Introducing the Pesado High Diffusion shower screen. Designed for precision and consistency, eliminating the main issues causing irregular extractions.

What's different between the EX54HD and 54HD?
The EX54HD comes with the new diffusion disc corrects the off-centered water flow built into the Breville Barista Express group head. Paired with our High Diffusion Shower Screen, it re-centres the water and distributes it evenly through 18 precision channels.
This diffusion disc is only for Breville Barista Express and Infuser models. It is not needed on any other 54mm models.

Breville’s 54mm Barista Express, Infuser & Duo-Temp machines rely on a water path built on one side of the group head, often leading to uneven flow. Our 54mm diffusion disc redirects the water flow to the center, then combined with our high diffusion shower screen redistributes water evenly across the entire puck center outwards, eliminating side-biased extractions and giving you balanced flavour in every shot.

Uneven water distribution has always been an issue when trying to achieve consistent extractions, this can be caused by the irregular water flow path through mesh shower screens, smaller surface area coverage and uneven puck infusion.

Utilizing 18 channels we can target the exact spots every extraction, resulting in consistent water flow between every shot.

Combined with the unique feature of the outer channels running all the way to the edge of the shower screen, controlling water flow to target the entire puck bed right to the basket edge, giving us complete control over our water diffusion every shot.

Complete Infusion, Every Extraction!
Eliminating inconsistent water diffusion while targeting the entire puck surface area with our unique, full coverage high diffusion shower screen, dialing in your extractions has never been easier.

18 Targeted Channels
Crafted entirely from stainless steel, with 18 targeted channels the NEW Pesado HD High Diffusion Shower Screen gives complete control over your water distribution, every extraction.

Regular Water Flow
Regular shower screens use a mesh to help distribute the water flow evenly, this does work quite well but unfortunately can result in uneven water distribution.

This is due to the water gripping to the mesh, causing an irregular water flow every extraction.

High Diffusion Water Flow
The HD High Diffusion 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.

High Diffusion Puck Clearance
Most shower screens are only designed to cover up to 54mm in diameter, leaving between 4-5mm around the perimeter, resulting in a smaller surface area of about 10-15% less coverage.

Utilizing the unique design of the water channels that run all the way to the edge of the shower screen, including the extended diameter of 58.35mm of surface area, we can target the entire puck bed all at once resulting in a full, and complete infusion.

What's the difference between the regular shower screens and the HD high diffusion shower screen?
The HD Shower Screen is designed to target the entire surface area of the puck bed, consistently every extractions. Utilizing an 18 channel design that targets up to 58.35mm of surface area, we can target the same spots of the puck bed every shot. This creates consistent, precision water diffusion.

Regular mesh shower screens cause erratic water diffusion due to the water gripping to the mesh and flowing completely different paths every extraction. This creates variables every time you extract that you cannot control.

Grab yourself the HD High Diffusion shower screen and create consistent, precision and high diffused extractions every shot.

How do I clean the HD Shower Screen?
When using daily we recommend using a cleaning brush to keep the outer surface and channels free of coffee grounds.

Once a week we recommend a full clean, which involves unscrewing the shower screen and washing both the shower screen plate and screws under water. This will ensure no build up, and a clean and consistent flow of water every extraction.

How to install:

• First, remove the water tank, drip tray and bean hopper from your machine. This will make sure no water or beans are spilled on your bench or machine during installation process.
  
• Then flip your machine onto is back so you have direct access to the group head, and unscrew your current shower screen.
  
• Lay the diffusion disc flat onto the group head so it sits inside the group head grooves, while holding this in place using one finger simply place the 54HD high diffusion shower screen over the diffusion disc, make sure the disc does not come out of place or else this will not lock in correctly.
  
• Then using your current shower screw, screw in the high diffusion shower screen making sure the disc stays in place.
  
• Now flip you machine back up the correct way, re-connect your water tank, drip tray and bean hopper. Now you are ready to go.
