Decent shower screens

Turning observation into innovation

At Decent, challenges inspire us to innovate. We observed that traditional shower screens — including our default IMS screen on DE1 — didn't get optimal water distribution at low-flow rates. Time to investigate.

Our team ran extensive tests and discovered that standard shower screens don't saturate the outer edges of the puck as much as the center, creating uneven water distribution.

With this new insight, we developed the Dimples and Freckles shower screens, which extend around the perimeter of the portafilter to ensure every part of your puck gets even water distribution. With our new technology, the water spreads more uniformly compared to the IMS screens at low flow rates (4ml/s and below). At higher flow rates, the distribution remains stable, without forming jets or channels that concentrate in one area.

Freckles Shower Screen

Decent's own design for even flowing water. If you make coffee in a busy environment and you don't have time to flush after every shot or wipe the screen with a cloth, try Decent's Freckles shower screen. Freckles features 1,000 very densely placed holes to compensate for potential clogging that might occur with less-frequent cleaning. Since espresso has more fines, we recommend using freckles for espresso brewing.

For DE1 v1.1 or newer owners, we have included a spare screw with the purchase. If you're a DE1 v1.0 owner and you're replacing the default IMS screen, you can use the screw already in the machine. You can also use the spare screw, but you will need a Torx screwdriver.
