{"product_id":"flair-espresso-standard-etched-dispersion-screen","title":"Flair Espresso Standard Etched Dispersion Screen","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Flair Espresso Standard Etched Dispersion Screen is a stainless steel replacement and upgrade screen compatible with all Flair models that use the standard brew cylinder, including the Flair NEO, NEO Flex, Classic, 2GO, and Signature. Unlike the original dispersion screen, which rested on top of the portafilter, this etched version sits directly on top of the coffee puck for more even water distribution and better protection of the coffee bed during extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBetter Contact, Better Extraction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlacing the dispersion screen directly on the coffee puck rather than above the portafilter changes where water first contacts the grounds. The etched surface distributes water across the full face of the puck before pressure builds, reducing channeling and helping each pull start from a more uniform bed. For manual lever espresso, where the brewer controls every variable, a well-protected puck is one fewer variable to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Last\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Standard Etched Dispersion Screen is made entirely of stainless steel, so it will not corrode, warp, or degrade with regular use and cleaning. It is not a consumable part.

The puck-contact position provides better coverage of the coffee bed and helps protect it from disruption as water enters, which can improve extraction consistency on standard brew cylinder Flair models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich Flair espresso makers is this screen compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Standard Etched Dispersion Screen fits all Flair models that use the standard brew cylinder: the Flair NEO, NEO Flex, Classic, 2GO, and Signature. It is not designed for Flair models with a different brew head, such as the 58, 58 Plus 2, or 49 PRO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this screen need to be replaced periodically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Flair Standard Etched Dispersion Screen is made entirely of stainless steel and is not a consumable part. It is designed to last through years of regular use and cleaning without needing replacement under normal brewing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the etched surface affect brewing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe etched pattern on the dispersion screen helps distribute water evenly across the face of the coffee puck before extraction pressure builds. On a manual lever machine like the Flair, where there is no pump to force water uniformly, an even starting distribution at the puck surface reduces the chance of channeling and supports a more consistent shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to Flair?
