Normcore WDT Distribution Tool with Stand V3-9 Prong Needle Espresso Stirrer - 18 Needles 0.25mm / 0.3mm Thick Spring Wires - Weiss Distribution Technique - Anodized Aluminum Handle

As a beginner, I was looking for tools to help me pull better shots (just bought an Espresso machine for the first time). This WDT works great, feels premium, and has helped me with my portafilter prep. Do you need one this expensive? No. Is it well-designed and premium? Yes. I love it- it's easy to use and fits my machine's design perfectly. The Good: Instant Improvement: The 9 thin needles break up the tightest clumps easily, resulting in a perfectly fluffy bed of grounds. Reduced Channeling: Since using this, my bottomless portafilter shots are much cleaner with far less "spraying." High-End Build: The handle has a great weight and hand feel, matching our other premium kitchen gadgets perfectly. Protective Stand: The weighted base keeps the needles safe and off the counter when not in use. The Not-So-Good: Delicate Needles: Because they are only 0.3mm thin, they can bend if you’re too aggressive or drop the tool. I'll report back after a few months of use. Cost: It's expensive, and much cheaper ones will likely do just as good of a job. Pro Tips: Replacement Ready: The kit usually includes extra needles, which is a life-saver if one eventually gets bent during a hectic morning. Pair it with a dosing funnel and a weighted tamper!

I love this distribution tool. I consistently get good shots. The stand also catches the coffee grounds that drop off of the needles which is nice.

Excelente todo, producto, tiempo de llegada calidad

Good wdt really makes the difference

為替の影響と思いますが高いので星-1です。 塗装？がさらさらしていて滑りやすいので木製にすれば良かったかなと思っています。 針は別添えでケースに入ってきます。 針は本体に差し込むだけですが、全ての針がいい感じの力加減で入っていき良い物感がありました。 長さや角度も綺麗に揃っています。 根本のバネも適度な硬さで使いやすかったです。 本数が多いのもいい。 もし、小型のバスケットで使う方は針が広がっているので気をつけてください。
