Standard shower screens, including the regular 54HD, work around this to a degree, but can't fully correct for the directional imbalance at the source. The EX54HD set addresses this specifically: the included diffusion disc is placed under the shower screen to physically re-centre the water path first, then the 18-channel HD shower screen redistributes it evenly outward across the full puck bed. The result is an even extraction from edge to edge, correcting a structural flow issue rather than working around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18 Channels, Edge-to-Edge Coverage, Consistent Shot to Shot\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the diffusion disc has re-centred the water entry, the HD shower screen takes over with the same 18-channel precision system used across the full Pesado HD range. Fixed, machined channels replace the variable flow paths of mesh screens, delivering water to the same locations in the same pattern on every extraction. The outer channels run to the edge of the 58.35mm screen surface — significantly wider than the stock Breville screen — ensuring the full puck bed is saturated rather than leaving 10–15% of the outer perimeter under-extracted. The combination of disc and screen together eliminates both the side-biased path and the coverage gap in a single upgrade. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e the EX54HD is compatible with double baskets only — not recommended for use with Breville 54mm single baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included, Which Machines Fit, and the Seal Note\u003c\/strong\u003e The EX54HD set includes one 18-channel HD shower screen and one EX54 diffusion disc. Your existing shower screen screw is used for installation. Compatible machines: Barista Express (BES870), Barista Express Impress (BES876, manual dose mode recommended), and The Infuser (BES840), plus Sage and Solis equivalents with the same group head design. For all other Breville 54mm machines — Bambino, Bambino Plus, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Duo-Temp Pro — use the Pesado 54HD Shower Screen instead. \u003cstrong\u003eSeal compatibility notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e the HD screen may cause your portafilter to lock in slightly looser than usual — this is normal and fully resolves when paired with the Pesado He[%] Breville 54mm High Extraction Basket. A thicker group seal or group head shim will also restore the standard lock position if not using an HE basket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pesado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49015374086396,"sku":"PSD-EX54HD","price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2275\/9941\/files\/EX54HD.jpg?v=1776948517","url":"https:\/\/coffeeaddicts.ca\/products\/pesado-hd-high-diffusion-ex54hd-shower-screen","provider":"Coffee Addicts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
