Puck screen

Also known as puck screen · shower screen insert · pantalla de puck · écran de puck

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from the machine shower screen—it travels with each shot. Helps even prewetting.

What it’s for and how to use it: After tamp → place screen → extract → rinse every shot.

Cup impact or benefit: Less centre erosion; cleaner group; steadier shots on fussy machines.

Technical notes: Fit basket diameter. Won’t fix bad distribution.

Common mistakes: Reusing dirty. Thinking it replaces good WDT/tamp.
