The job of a good shower screen is to distribute the water flowing out of the brewing group as evenly as possible over the coffee in the screen. It sounds simple at first, but experience shows that most shower screens only adequately fulfill this task. The inventor of the Matrix Shower Screen, Omri Almagor, has now solved the problem impressively.


His solution consists of a stainless steel plate made up of dozens of layers; each of these layers consists of tiny beads (7 µ in diameter) that are spaced 4 to 5 µ (Mü) apart. This construction leads to the following positive effects

1. By forcing the water to find its way through this labyrinth of beads, the pressure of the water is reduced and it is evenly distributed over the ground coffee, both of which result in all of the coffee being extracted evenly and completely. Any kind of channeling (the water rushing through certain parts of the coffee) is avoided.
   
2. The improved extraction of the coffee allows it to be ground more finely and the amount of ground coffee to be reduced.
   
3. The tiny gaps between the beads increase the capillary pressure, which causes the water and carbon dioxide to split into hot water, steam and carbon dioxide. The result: a thicker and firmer crema.
   
4. This also has a lasting effect on the acidity of the espresso: unpleasant acids are avoided. This extraction also balances out the unpleasant acids in lighter roasts with more floral and fruity notes, which otherwise tend to quickly become aggressively acidic.
   
5. And finally, the brewing head is protected from contamination by the ground coffee by the fine-pored structure of the shower sieve.
