A less 'violent' way to fit the "shower screen" :
1) make sure the rubber ring is fitted the right way up (there's a minute difference between top and bottom of the ring on the inside)
2) push it up with your fingers as far as you can
3) take a portafilter WITHOUT the filter basket and lock it in as well as you can. Usually the shower screen is then fitted perfectly.
My advice: choose one method and stick to that for a long time. I used to always leave it off between shots, but after visiting and interviewing some baristas in their workplace and seeing a dozen baristas at work during a competition earlier this week, I decided to leave it on for a while, like most of them do.
I think one way is as good as the other and sticking to it enables you to change one single other variable, dose, grind setting, tamping et cetera.
Keep one method in mind as starting point and then carefully deviate from it in one aspect, and see what happens and what you prefer. It's fun and educational and you can't "get lost".
