Cleaning the Shower Screen: Regularly clean the shower screen to prevent coffee oil buildup, which can affect water flow and the taste of your espresso.
Lubrication: Gaskets and other moving parts should be lubricated with food-safe grease to ensure smooth operation and to prevent wear.
Promote even extraction: The dispersion plate and shower screen work together to ensure that water flows evenly through the coffee grounds, preventing over-extraction in some areas and under-extraction in others.
