Adrianmsmith Hardly. It just works
The coffee would hide between the top of the base and the bottom of the handle. A few seconds to brush them off. 😊
Sworks one off shower screen for ACS
Raja123 It certainly isn’t for people that cant even taste basic flavor notes!
Who is it for then? The very few super tasters that claim to exist, or the plentiful ego driven people who imagine owning something like this will improve their coffee

dfk41 well, I can certainly see the meditation is working, Dave. :D
This was originally a commissioned product, sought after by someone who wasn’t happy with the stock clip and screen (who am I to argue with them for that?). Now it’s being offered to others who may want it, perhaps for similar reasons, perhaps for others.
It is fairly obvious the price excludes die-hard skeptics, leaving those with disposable income or a purpose they can justify to themselves - could be that some people care about the stock screen and spring not fitting well enough for good wetting of the puck - I’ve had nasty lop-sided extractions occur in that situation, and I don’t enjoy messing around with the circlip (something Jake also mentioned). I’d like it to experiment with it, and will happily run with it if it makes my life a bit easier on the maintenance front.
id be asking acs if it messes with warranty- i know it would be a great manufactures get out of jail haha
@Raja123 was that extraction with the safety sleeve?
the original clip is horrible, the gu10 clip easy to use, i found aftermarket ims too thin and rattled, the stock fit better,

Cuprajake No, the safety sleeve was a bit more consistent for me (in that regard - fitting with shower screen, but its distribution has issues due to a single off-center hole and no distribution block). Since you and a few others had issues with the hole being too far off-center, ACS likely ensured the hole was drilled to land within the blank perimeter of the shower screen.
I noticed the stock GU10 spring and shower screen combo doesn’t always sit square in the stock sleeve, and had noticed some extractions were biased on one side of the basket. Subsequently, went over to the circlip Adrian linked, and have a lot more consistency overall, but can’t say I enjoy resintalling that circlip when I decide it’s time for a clean and a quick lube of the accessible portion of the sleeve.
i wonder if something along the lines of the seal and screen ala e61 but off a dalla corte would fit? but i think they are center screw too
