A simple fix for the most common annoyance with traditional Egyptian bowls - leaf and debris dropping through the holes and gunking up your base water. This stainless mesh screen sits inside the bowl, catches everything, and lets clean airflow through. If you're using a Khalil Mamoon clay bowl or any standard multi-hole setup, this is an easy upgrade.

Will this fit a phunnel bowl?
No - this mesh insert is designed for traditional Egyptian multi-hole bowls where debris falls through the base holes. Phunnel bowls have a single raised spire and don't need a mesh screen.
Does it affect the draw?
Barely. The fine mesh openings allow full airflow through the bowl. Most users report no noticeable difference in draw resistance - just cleaner base water and better flavour.
