VFiPP plates replace puck screens and are used to control espresso extraction so that you get a perfect extraction almost each time. They are designed for and work best with manual lever machines where you can adjust to the felt puck resistance, however will work on any flat 6-9 bar 58mm espresso machine but with reduced benefits in that there may still be a reduced need to "dial-in".

Please note, the plate itself takes up 11mm head-space and will reduce the rated dose on a 58mm espresso basket. If your basket has a max rated dose of 28g, you'll only be able to pull an 23-18g dose (depending on group head structure after shower screen removal). Hence you'll need a deeper basket.
