Puck screen

Weber Workshops

Puck Screen

Basket size unverified2 mm · 150 µm mesh

We couldn't confirm the Weber Workshops Puck Screen fits the KitchenAid KF8: we don't know the portafilter size of the KitchenAid KF8 (the puck screen is made for 58mm). The puck screen must match the portafilter size exactly, so check both before buying.
