[Verkaufe] POM Disfuser w. wirescreen for Dallacorte/ La Spaz

Hi
I am making an upgraded disfuserblock for the Dalla Corte and La Spaziale (all models)

I was tired of the mess, the coffee makes up of the portafilter sides and the constantly messy dissfuserblok up in the grouphead, filled up with coffeegrounds.

So i made a "precision-fit" disfuser-blok and a diffuser-screen that spred the Water more evenly across the coffeepuck.

It fit the Dalla Corte and La Spaciale.

I have made two versions for both 55mm and 54mm basket-size.
- it can be made to 53mm, but that will be on request.
It is 11mm thick in order to put more coffee in the basket.
(Dalla corte WBC kit, consists of 11mm thick block and wiremesh, but still not presizely made)

POM has been inspired from Kees Van der Westen, that make POM disfuser-Blocks in the "Speedster"
As he writes

I have tested the setup in my own Dalla corte for about 1,5-2 years and it has been working flawlessly.
The pom is working great and the machine is quicker to warm up and brew a cup of coffee.
The dispersion-screen makes a huge diffrence in itself.

Well.. I think it is cool, and it is a bit of a geek-thing. Dalla Dorte is not a big thing here in Denmark.

The Price is 59 Euro and 3 eur shipping.

The kit consists of:
POM-disfuserblok
Wiremesh Diffuserscreen
Countersunk stainless screw in the mittle, to bolt it to the grouphead.

Escape, Not the correct product. - isn't formaldehyde something that is used to burry dead people?

I am using a product based on Polyoxymethylen Copolymer

The safety sheet http://www.centroplast.de/467914-ce...CENTRODAL-C-FG-RAL-5017_POM-C-FG-RAL-5017.pdf

But when used in a hot coffeemachine at around 100degrees , it looses some strength and get brittle, but as long that the purpose is not gear and anything that have mechanical wear, then it is fine.

Sorry, the "topic-notify me" did not give me something about activity.

Beetle: But regarding the size of the block, the original block is trapetz in shape.
It is wide at the bottom near the gasket, but very thin in the top, so there is a large gap, where coffee-grounds can be trapped - and water needs to be filled.
So this new block is more like a cylinder, and strait without making a cone in the top .
-If you measure your block, i can make a block fit your basket specific. I make them a bit smaller than the basket, because the material "grow" a bit. But it is better to have a smaller block, that a block that is too large - what ever you choose, it will fit better than standard.

This picture is one of my early ones that used the original dispersion-screen.
But as you can see, the brass-block, has a ridge at the bottom, where it sits at the basket, mine is strait, from that ridge and up.


The big blok (55mm basket) is a bit bigger, at the top, to work with the basket - but i have made it a bit smaller at the buttom, so that it can be fittet inside the gasket and still make it a smoooth fit

HafenSänger:
I actually don't know why that little hole is there. The guy i bought the meshes from, said, that they were all like that.
It sits flat against the block, so no water can come thro anyways
The underside of the block looks like the original, i can take a picture after work.
- The standard screen will not fit. It is smaller in diameter and will not disperse the water as uniform as a bigger wiremesh-screen.

 

The main reason for using another than original DallaCorte, is that it is more easily available.
I think La San Marco uses the mesh i use. And it is a wee-bit bigger than dalla corte. ( And it is countersunk, so no screw is making a huge indent in the coffee-puck itself.
- I even laser engraved a logo in the mesh and block, to enhance the coolness of the product

 

Beetle, yes i know the wallet, one of my alltime favourite movies, it is so full of nice quotes and good music
- You could actually get that logo on _your_ screen if you want (i just need to get more screens)

Just to clearify.
All dispersion-blocks have a straight side. I just take some material off the bottom of the 55mm version, so that it fit with the gasket.
The 55mm block will only fit 55mm baskets and bigger.
The 54mm block will fit 54mm basket and 55mm basket.
If a 53mm block is made, it will of course fit 54 and 55mm basket

 

Haha, ya, let's try it.
- othervice i just google it.

- Edit: I tried to google it, but no good result.
If you send it to me before ~15, i can make it and ship it out to you, tomorrow.

 

Beelte, did you gone missing?

But here i have a picture of the underside of the block and a quick shot of "what's in the box"
