The dispersion of water coming out of the brass dispersion disk (diffuser) is pretty good even if not perfect.

But when I add the shower screen, the dispersion pattern doesn't look like a shower anymore but more like a regular faucet.

I have the ground coffee disk and filter like this:

Taste is good, but since I just bought this used machine I want to make sure all is ok.
