Description

A WDT tool, which is a set of fine needles you stir through your ground coffee before tamping to break up clumps. It sounds fussy, and it is, but it genuinely evens out your extraction and kills channelling, where water finds a fast path through the puck and ruins the shot.

Cheap, quick to use, and one of the biggest jumps in shot consistency you can make for the money. Once you've used one you won't go back.

  • Fine needles break up clumps in the grounds
  • Reduces channelling, more even extraction
  • Takes five seconds, makes a real difference
