Showe Screens & Screws
I get a call, 630 in the morning on a Saturday and it's from work. "Say, do you know where the screws for the screen are?"
"Yeah. They're on the dishrack."
"Oh right, thanks. Oh man, if I would have pulled a shot without the shower screen and screw in place, those grinds would have been all up in there, costing hundreds of dollars of damage.....(you're an idiot; why didn't you reassemble the shower screen when you closed?!)"
"Okay, well have a good morning. See ya."
And it had me thnking, "Does it really?" We use the beautiful Cyncra Synesso and I backflush every few days. I think that even if that were to happen (one, you should notice right away that your shot came out funny as there is a significant difference), you could always clean up after yourself. The machine is nearly idiot proof.
So who's right?

Your friend is right.
The screen keeps grounds from traveling up inside the machine.
Even is you try to "clean up after yourself" ...you will not be able to clean well enough to get the grounds out from the inside of the machine.

Not even with backflushing?

I am an artist by trade and when we use a sprayer, we first filter the paint through a very large bag made of fine mesh. ( size of a 1 gallon paint can) they run about 99 cents at Home Depot.
I also keep getting different ground sizes...mean…

yeah you could get a giant teabag (they make them, not sure where from) and soak a few pounds of coarsely ground coffee in a gatorade-style bucket overnight. that's what i do. if you can't find teabags just use cheesecloth, it just puts a little mor…

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on the cold brew systems? I was sampling some last week and it was really smooth.

Would a tea bag work just as well?
