IMS Precision Nanotech 50.5mm Shower Screen DL200NT for Delonghi and other espresso machines

The delonghi dedica's default screen collected all the water into four streams in the center and bored its way through my pucks. I nearly bought a puck screen until I realized these shower screens exist. The pattern it leaves on my pucks shows it doesn't concentrate into a drill and has lead to less consistency issues.

The media could not be loaded. works perfectly well

If anyone was wondering, yes, it does fit a Stilosa, but it is a difficult upgrade. I had to take the group ahead apart and put it back together about 5 times before I got it working.The stock shower head only covers the center of the puck, with this, water flows through the entire puck and there is much less channeling.

Fits the Stilosa but you will have to get it around the rubber ring (just takes a min) whereas the OEM screen sat flat inside of the rubber ring. You will also need a new stainless M4x10mm screw which I got from Home Depot. That’s it! Enjoy!!

This product gives me a much better flow... thanks..

At first I didn’t notice the importance of this shower. The factory ones get dirty inside. The new one improve me a lot the pressure got from the Deddica machine. Wry happy with the purchase.

The quality of the product is great. Feels sturdy and results in a more even distribution of water on top of the puck.The installation was easy and gave me an opportunity to clean that section of my Delonghi series espresso machine.

The media could not be loaded. My machine is the Dedica ec680 .The water distribution is different, large droplets vs the oem with tiny droplets. I find it more susceptible to channeling also, so the distribution and tamp are more important with this shower screen.Downside, this clogs frequently and I end up detaching, soaking in hot water, then scrubbing every other week. My beverage frequency is one espresso on weekdays and 2-4 on weekend days depending on company, so roughly 20 espresso doppio a week.I started using paper filters to keep the shower screen clean and that seemed less wasteful than all the water required to clean a metal puck filter. I’d estimate 7 espresso filters can be created from one coffee filter and the filter paper is compostable.With the oem, I never had to detach it, it only required a flushing.The flavor difference is very subtle. I think if you espresso practice is already dialed, then this shower screen will make a subtle improvement. If you’re not dialed, this will add many complications like channeling and over extraction.
