You might want to try one of the ultra thin puck screens sold by Sworksdesign.com which has a thickness of only 0.2mm. I've been using them for about a month, works extremely well and gives you that much needed head space.

This isn't surprising to me. I found 19g was the highest dose I could use with the Speedster and the already installed Matrix shower screen that came from the original Indegogo campaign. I can't imagine 20g working with any shower screen/puck screen on top of a 19-20g dose.flyguyjake wrote:I received my Unibasket today and used it for the first time. It's quite nice and very solid.

Grinding on a MAX SLM, I'm dosing 19g with the Weber Unibasket, Weber screen on top, and paper on the bottom. On the DE1Pro v1.1, that's working well (no spacer).flyguyjake wrote:I received my Unibasket today and used it for the first time. It's quite nice and very solid. The puck screen is also very thick.

As I said on Decent Diaspora, the shots are hauling. With or without paper. And look different at the bottom of the basket compared to my other baskets. Shots have many streams through most of the shot and tend to end with three. They never merge.

I love experimenting and supporting innovation. Whatever the results of mine, I won't consider it wasted $

Looks like mine will be arriving in the next few days and totally agree about supporting innovation.

I'm wondering, I just got my unibasket but it doesn't seem to want to fit with my Decent portafilter. Did you have that issue at all?

Are you using the new spring that came with the basket? Your stock spring may not be allowing the increased width of the unibasket.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't even realize the Decent portafilter had a spring loaded into it, to be completely honest. Rookie mistake. I'll take a look at that tonight.
