A worn or low-precision screen channels water unevenly — leading to inconsistent extraction, sour or bitter shots, and frustrating dial-in. The Pesado Nuova Simonelli Competition Shower Screen solves this with three engineering upgrades: ⚙️ 121 Conical-Shaped Holes Increased hole count and cone profile distribute water uniformly across the entire puck for even extraction. ✨ Electro-Polished Finish Smooth surface inside and out — minimum friction, maximum sanitary performance, no contamination. 🛡️ Reinforced 200µm Membrane Caulked to the body and support disk — slows water flow, prevents residue buildup, lasts longer. 🔬 Lab-Tested Consistency Independent testing shows Pesado outperforms other major brands for shot-to-shot consistency. 🇮🇹 Made in Italy by IMS Pesado partners with IMS — the world's leading manufacturer of competition espresso filtration components. 🏆 Competition Grade Engineered to the same spec used by competitive baristas in WBC and AeroPress championships worldwide.

Installation How to Install Your Pesado Shower Screen Installation takes 5 minutes and requires only a flat-head screwdriver. Always turn off and unplug the machine first. 01 Power off and cool down Switch off the machine at the wall and let the group head cool completely before handling. Hot brass burns. 02 Remove the existing shower screen Use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the central bolt holding the shower screen in place. Pull the old screen straight down. 03 Clean the group head Wipe the group head and dispersion plate with a clean cloth. Use a group head brush to remove any residual coffee oils or grounds. 04 Install the new Pesado shower screen Position the Pesado screen with the membrane side facing up. Hand-tighten the central bolt, then snug it with the screwdriver — don't over-tighten. 05 Flush and test Turn the machine back on. Run a 5-second blank flush to clear any debris. Lock in your portafilter and pull a test shot. 💡 Pro Tip Replace your group head gasket and shower screen seal at the same time — they're cheap, and a fresh seal pairs perfectly with a new Pesado screen for a watertight, leak-free lock-in.

This screen is designed for Nuova Simonelli group heads — including Aurelia Wave, Appia II, Appia Life, Musica, Oscar II, and Victoria Arduino Black Eagle / White Eagle / Eagle One (Victoria Arduino is part of the Nuova Simonelli Group). If you're unsure, contact our team with your machine's model number — we'll confirm fit before you order. Why upgrade from the standard shower screen? Standard OEM shower screens have wider, fewer holes and unpolished surfaces — leading to channelling, uneven extraction, and faster oil buildup. The Pesado Competition screen has 121 conical-shaped holes, electro-polished surfaces (inside the holes too), and a 200µm reinforced membrane. Independent lab tests show it delivers significantly more consistent extraction than other major brands. What's the difference between Pesado and IMS shower screens? Pesado collaborates directly with IMS — the Italian filtration specialist — to manufacture their competition shower screens. The Pesado-branded screens use IMS's competition perforation pattern with Pesado's quality control standards. They're effectively the same engineering, sold under the Pesado brand alongside their matching baskets and tampers. How often should I replace my shower screen? Most baristas replace their shower screen every 12 months, depending on volume. Signs it's time to replace: visible blockages or pitting in the holes, uneven water distribution during a blank flush, channelling in your puck, or persistent inconsistent extraction. A blocked or worn screen is one of the most overlooked causes of bad espresso. How do I clean my Pesado shower screen? Backflush with a cleaning tablet weekly to clear coffee oils. Once a month, remove the screen completely and soak it in espresso machine detergent (cafiza or similar) for 20 minutes — then scrub gently with a soft brush. Never use abrasive pads or steel wool, as they damage the electro-polished surface. Browse cleaning products at Di Pacci. Do you ship the Pesado shower screen Australia-wide?
