La Pavoni Lever Distribution Screen

This screen is specifically sized at 51.6mm for La Pavoni 'New Group' (Post-Millennium) machines. It will not fit older 'Pre-Millennium' group heads, so please verify your machine's production era before purchasing.

By dispersing water evenly across the coffee puck, this screen helps prevent channeling and promotes a more uniform extraction. You should notice a more balanced flavor profile and a cleaner puck after brewing.

Yes, because the stainless steel screen adds thermal mass to the group head, it may slightly lower the temperature of your first shot. You might need to adjust your initial temperature management or perform a slightly longer flush to compensate.

It does. By acting as a barrier between the coffee puck and the group head, it prevents coffee grounds from sticking to your machine's shower screen, which makes post-shot cleanup much faster and keeps the internal components cleaner over time.

The screen is made of durable 316 stainless steel and can be rinsed under hot water after each shot. For a deeper clean, you can occasionally soak it in a coffee machine detergent solution to remove any built-up oils.
