Anyone knows where I can get a BZ02 shower screen (other than 1st Line, since they don't like international orders)??

Thanks

Max

Internationally I would try espressoparts.com.
While they do not have anything listed specifically for the BZ02, they could probably point you to one that would fit (for a Pasquini, Brasilia?)
Locally (to me), I would try Caffe Tech.

Cheers,
Troy

If you're going to replace your shower screen, consider the Ellisse shower screens.

It's more forgiving than the stock BZ02's screens (in terms of finickiness of overdosing) . I'll try to post some pics of both screens to help you understand what i mean.

I used to dose/level and tamp and when i lock and unlock my PF i always find a screen imprint on my puck, and if i underdose i get wet pucks. However, when i installed the new shower screen, i no longer get screen imprints coz it allows for more head space.

It's ironic coz i didn't intentionally ask for the Ellisse shower screens, the distributer sold it to me by mistake :)

The new shower screen insalled (new)

Notice how it lays down which gives more head-space.

Raj,

      How about that. I wish I could spell serendipitous.
        Who was the distributor ?
