Breville 54mm Shower Screen
Our 54HD set comes with our 54mm HD high diffusion shower screen which replaces the Breville stock 54mm shower screen.
The stock shower screen has a basket shaped design which has no way of directing the water flow consistantly where we want it to be during extractions. Now utilizing our one-of-a-kind integrated channels we can now target the exact same positions on the coffee puck every extraction. Precision water dispersion every espresso.

How The High Diffusion Shower Screen Works
18 Targeted Channels
Learn more
Crafted entirely from stainless steel, with 18 targeted channels the NEW Pesado HD High Diffusion Shower Screen gives complete control over your water distribution, every extraction.
Regular Water Flow
Learn more
Regular Breville 54mm shower screens use a basket shaped shower screen that captures the water flow then diffuses the water out across the coffee puck. Unfortunately these have no way to evenly diffuse the water and tend to bundle the flow into 2-4 thick streams which can break the puck causing excess channeling.
High Diffusion Water Flow
Learn more
The HD High Diffusion Espresso Shower Screen has been designed with channels to distribute the water flow exactly where we want it to be every time. Using this method allows us to hit the exact area we need to every extraction, distributing the water flow outwards across the entire puck bed, evenly. The HD Shower Screen also has a unique feature where the outer channels run all the way to the edge, allowing water to flow directly out the ends into the basket wall.
High Diffusion Puck Clearance
Learn more
Most shower screens are only designed to cover up to 54mm in diameter, leaving between 4-5mm around the perimeter, resulting in a smaller surface area of about 10-15% less coverage. Utilizing the unique design of the water channels that run all the way to the edge of the shower screen, including the extended diameter of 58.35mm of surface area, we can target the entire puck bed all at once resulting in a full, and complete infusion.

Regular Water Flow

Regular espresso shower screens use a mesh to help distribute the water flow evenly, this does work quite well but unfortunately, it can result in uneven water distribution. This is due to the water gripping to the mesh, causing an irregular water flow every extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HD Shower Screen is designed to target the entire surface area of the puck bed, consistently every extraction. Utilizing an 18-channel design that targets up to 58.35mm of surface area, we can target the same spots of the puck bed every shot. This creates consistent, precise water diffusion.
Regular mesh shower screens cause erratic water diffusion due to the water gripping to the mesh and flowing completely different paths every extraction. This creates variables every time you extract that you cannot control.
Grab yourself the HD High Diffusion Espresso Shower Screen and create consistent, precise and high-diffused extractions for every shot.

First pour was a world class upgrade, and we’ve loved our Breville Express for a dozen years now! What a sweet and simple investment to improve a tried and true household item that was already our day-to-day hero!!
Water doesn’t come from holes on one side. Its an improvement from the standard screen but not what I thought. The head plastic grooves look a bit smashed.
The new plate is still causing unevensoray of the water. There is a spot at the back as the pressure increases that sprays on the back wall. I have checked the position of the plate and it is correct
This new screen has completely restored faith in my Breville Dual Boiler. Turned out the old screen support was broken in 3 places as suggested in the Pesado video. No wonder I could not stop a shot just streaming through the puck to give a terrible bitter taste! Now the shots are full, rich and taste great again. Thanks Pesado!
This looks nothing like the image of the product on your website and in the emails confirming the order, delivery and installation instructions. Can you please arrange for delivery of the correct part as advertised?
Easy to fit.
Need to re dial in grind and dose.
I use less coffee now than previously with an improvement in extraction consistency and hence flavour.
Top quality upgrade.
Doesn’t fix the channelling for the Barista Express Impress. Just got this and of course they release an updated version. Don’t waste your money. The stock diffuser pulls a way better shot.
I found the unit traps grinds in it that eventually block some of the channels resulting in uneven flow. Regular cleaning (weekly) is likely required. The original unit did not do this. Also the new unit does not allow use of the single shot filter basket. If the base plate was thinner this would likely not be the case. So far the only compelling benefit is removing a peice of plastic from the machine.
Really like it so far. It seems to be distributing the water more evenly over the puck. Coffee flavor has been great, bold, intense and creamy. I had to contact customer service because initially the portafilter would not seat in the machine. Turns out, if you use a puck screen and a tapered portafilter basket, all of it will sit too high not allowing enough room to lock the portafilter in place. The Pesado shower screen is a little over a millimeter thicker than the standard shower screen. The solution was to use a straight sided basket and a good tamp.
After we figured out how to reduce the puck and made the grind more course, it came out a lot better. Looking to get the puck down to 18 grams so I fit have to get a bottomless filter handle.
Advertised as compatible, but it reduces headspace and disrupts the puck
I bought the Pesado 58.5 High Diffusion Shower Screen for my Breville Oracle Jet because it was presented as compatible with the machine and as an upgrade over Breville’s plastic diffuser and thin metal screen.
Unfortunately, it has created several problems that were not present with the original Breville parts.
The Pesado assembly appears to sit lower in the group head and leaves too little space above the coffee puck. With the Oracle Jet’s normal automatic dose and tamp, I cannot lock in the portafilter without the shower screen pressing into the puck and leaving visible indentations. The portafilter is also noticeably harder to turn into place.
After installing it, my normal espresso extraction became considerably longer than the roughly 25-second shots I was getting before. The puck also showed signs of uneven saturation, with portions that did not appear fully wet. This defeats the purpose of installing a product that is supposed to improve water distribution.
I checked the installation and followed the stated orientation and compatibility guidance. The issue is not simply a grind adjustment. The physical clearance has changed, and the screen appears to compress or disturb the puck before brewing even begins.
A product marketed specifically for the Breville Oracle Jet should work with the machine’s standard dosing and tamping system without forcing the owner to reduce the dose, alter the puck, or struggle to lock in the portafilter.
I am disappointed because this was not a cheap upgrade, and I expected a properly tested fit. I have returned to the original Breville parts, which fit and operate normally.
One star due to the poor fit, reduced puck clearance, longer extractions, and uneven saturation.
It was really easy replacing the old shower screen with the new high Diffusion one . I watched the video & all done within 5 mins . Water flows as advertised a big improvement .
I’m a female in my 70’s & it was a cinch to do .
Im a Noob, so take my excitement as such. Im learning and my experience prior to Pesado's distribution system has been less than optimal. Like they state, my extraction was poor and most of my pucks were soggy and fell apart. I tried changing coarseness, amount, even custom ran my water, using my scale and pre-measured shot glass. Nothing reminded me of my first Italian espresso until I switched my water diffuser out with the Presado 54mm for my Breville Barista Express.
After installing I literally watched the water cascade out of all the little portholes, with excitement. I wasn't expecting this to be the whole reason my espresso was so lame. First use through and it had actual creama! Wooo!! So I then pulled my Portafiller and checked the puck. Holy Molly, it was a solid as a brick! Completely used, with no dry areas. Placing in upon my pile of disasters made me feel like I was finally starting to figure this mystery out. Then I took a sip... OMG... I found my flavor. All this because of this diffuser? It's literally the only thing I changed. So Bravo to the Aussie company that gave me my Italian experience! Ive ordered your 54mm Hybrid Portafiller along with your Screen, to be used with my already waiting HE Filter Basket. If you've made it this far and are brand new at this and tired disappointment, just buy it. You wont be disappointed.
The water just jets into the puck. While it is spread on the puck more evenly, it streams forcefully into the puck. This means that it just drips from the group head rather than just making a steady single stream. You sell it as an improvement. I went straight back to the original.
At first I absolutely loved it flow is very even and just beautiful, then realised that the way I usually packed my portafilter just wouldn’t work anymore (which I do not believe I seen anywhere on there site just how much thicker there shower screen is and that it’s hardly usable with the standard Breville portafilter) I had to reduce my grind amount to 16g from 18g and remove the puck screen to get enough clearance between the coffee puck and the shower screen, this made a noticeable difference in the strength of my coffee shot and also in the consistency of the pour. After using it for about a week I decided to give my machine a deep clean and I was shocked to say the least the channels in the shower screen were completely clogged with coffee grounds, and this is with running water though the machine before and after most of my shots. I still love the evenness of the water flow it Is very good at doing what is designed for but if it were sold with a portafilter or a basket that can fit 18g or more of coffee along with a puck screen I think that would be a lot easier for the people buying the shower screen and having a more pleasant experience.
Edit*
After having another look at the website they now have other options to get the shower screen bundled with the 20g basket would have been good when back when I purchased my shower screen
Has changed the extraction a little bit but I think, it would have been a bit better for the price!
It is top quality looking and packaged beautifully, looks great 👍
I installed 54mm on my machine and honestly think the factory does a better job of spreading out the water in equal amounts. I also had to lower the grind volume because the new one is so much thicker. So I'm neutral, knowing all this I wouldn't have bought it. Because I did I'm using it.
DONT BUY!
without pressure it shows a more consistent shower screen. Though under pressure it causes channeling.
I had 16.5g coffee in a 18g pesado basket.
Also heaps more grinds go up into the group head than with the original shower screen.
The shower droplets are more evenly distributed which is great. The problem I’m having is having to do with the portafilter fitting on to the group head differently than it did before. It is very tight. I also had to change grind size and dosage volume, which could be expected, so I haven’t had perfect shots yet. However even the shots I am getting taste very good.
My 12-year-old Breville Duo Temp Pro became new again. Espresso shots are more enjoyable. You’re motivated to try different kinds of beans. High Diffusion Espresso Shower Screen is a must for Duo Temp Pro users. The first pull was an immediate success.
I recently installed the new diffusion shower screens and the difference has been incredible. My coffee has never poured so evenly or consistently, and the improvement in taste is immediately noticeable. Extraction is much more uniform, resulting in a richer flavour, better balance, and a cleaner finish in every cup.
The quality of the shots has improved dramatically, with fewer channeling issues and much more reliable results. It’s one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my coffee setup and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get the most out of their espresso machine.
