In a standard basket, water channels through whatever path offers least resistance — often the same few holes repeatedly. This creates uneven pre-infusion: some parts of the puck are over-saturated before the shot starts; others are dry. The result is channeling that no amount of puck prep can fully fix because the problem is at the water entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secondary 0.8mm mesh distributes water across all basket holes simultaneously before it reaches the puck. The pre-infusion phase becomes uniform, saturation is even, and extraction follows the puck surface rather than random channels through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.8mm Secondary Mesh Screen\u003c\/strong\u003e — Precision-engineered hole diameter for optimal water distribution without restricting total flow rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-Layer Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Primary basket base + secondary distribution screen.

The result is more even extraction and a cleaner shower screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Dual Dispersion Screen different from standard puck screens?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard puck screens use a single-layer mesh. The Dual Dispersion Screen uses two mesh layers at slightly different densities — the water passes through both layers before hitting the coffee puck, creating wider, more uniform water distribution. This reduces the risk of any one spot being hit harder than another, especially useful for portafilters with less-even shower screens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use a puck screen in my workflow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter tamping, place the puck screen flat on top of the compressed puck, then lock the portafilter into the machine.
