Metal WDT Tool and Self-Aligning Stand | Precision Machined (Black Anodized Aluminum)

This whisk is very expensive but it does work perfectly. SInce I've been using it with my De Longhi the pressure is getting up to the Optimal Zone every time - even with my older beans. I don't know why it is so expensive but now I've got it I don't want to let it go!

A sturdy thing, with the right amount of weight and strong tines. (The stand/holder too is just right, with enough weight that it shouldn't easily topple over.) The rods come in a separate little "test tube" and are easy to install. (There's a spare one too, assuming that you fit all of them, though you might prefer to use fewer.) Works as expected, really helping to break-up any clumps of ground coffee, so that you're left with a soft powder. Inexpensive. Recommended.

I've tried a few WDT tools in the past, but this is by far the best I've tried.Easy to store and the needles have a good balance between fine and sturdy. The spare needle in the packaging was a nice touch.As for the results....Used in conjunction with a dosing funnel to keep the grinds from spilling while stirring, tbh I struggle to tell any difference in the final result. I guess I'm lucky that my grinder (modified Vario) creates fluffy grinds straight out of the chute, but if this wasn't the case then this would 100% do the job.Using a s/s mesh puck screen on top of the coffee had a much bigger impact in the final result than any other tool/trick I've tried so far. Still nice to have the WDT for occasional use, albeit a placebo (in my case).

Sturdier built than expected. It's definitely a MUST have tool for any espresso maker. Can't believe I've waited so long. Making a huge difference straight away. Helps a lot to make a more even tamp. A good stand as well that many other WDT tools doesn't seem to have. Things that doesn't make it 5 star is that it does collect a bit of coffee. So you need to brush it off yourself after every use. Also I'm experimenting myself of not putting all "needles" in the holder. That way you move less coffee around and can work a more even bed. Looking at other WDT tools it seems to be a common problem that they just have too many needles that basically move too much coffee around. Overall it's a good tool. Expensive but looks better than the cheaper options for around 10-15 pounds so think it's worth the money.

Really nice distribution toolHolds well and does a perfect job of distributing the coffee in the basket.Much nicer to use and does a better job than longer ones or 3d printed ones

I'm really glad I spent a little more on this, rather than a basic cheap version. The needles are the perfect gauge, the mechanism for holding them is great, and allows replacement. The weight is great, it feels perfect in the hand, and the base is weighted too.Very happy with it indeed.

I had a cheaper WDT tool before this one and can say this is absolutely worth the extra. Very effective at distributing and breaking up clumps from my entry level grinder. Neatly, cleverly and robustly made, good fine needles. Even nicely packaged so I’m sure would make a great gift. Definitely recommend.

A common complaint with many WDTs is that the wires fall out or are the wrong diameter. This tool has perfectly-sized wires and the base of each wire prevents any risk of falling out.Well done the designer!

I was fortunate to find this gem with zero reviews (at the time) after sorting through the various WDT clones with random company names. It was easy to see quickly from the description and pics that this is an original product, designed by this company.Everything about this WDT is well-considered, from the packaging, to the little propeller tool and clear, visual instruction insert. The custom stand is a great addition too. You can tell the plastic parts were mostly (fully?) 3D printed, but they have a clean finish and still seem solid. The stainless steel handle piece is the star of the show, with a smooth finish and satisfying heft.As for the distribution, it fluffs up the grinds nicely and gives an even appearance compared to chunkiness I had before. The needles seem to be thin enough to cut through a fine grind without being too fragile. I bought this to use with my first bottomless filter and have had no noticeable channeling/spraying issues so far from the very beginning.If I had to nitpick anything, it would be the stand. For the most part, it does the job well and has surprising sturdiness from the base. The top on the other hand is not quite rigid enough, so the way it holds the tool doesn’t feel confident, as if you could push it through with too much force.Overall a great product and I hope to see more original espresso/coffee/etc. designs from this company.

Vanaf het eerste moment dat je het doosje open maakt voelt alles premium quality. Makkelijk in elkaar te zetten en ik gebruik 'm nu een week en kan niets anders zeggen dan dat hier goed over nagedacht is. De pinnen zijn dun en stevig, de kop lekker zwaar maar niet te zwaar en het houdertje heel handig en stabiel. Goed genoeg dus om even speciaal de tijd te nemen voor een positieve recensie ;-)

Seit ich dieses Hilfsmittel verwende, ist die Nutzung des bodenlosen Siebträgers deutlich einfacher geworden. Früher gab es immer wieder eine Sauerei an der Kaffeemaschine durch das Channeling. Mit dem Tool lässt sich das Kaffemehl gut auflockern und verteilen. Channeling tritt kaum noch auf.

The tool itself is great, but the base should not be marketed as 'weighted' as it is just a lightweight 3D printed base.

This WDT tool is really well designed. The base holds the tool in suspension and protects the tines from damage. In the event that one is bent or broken, it can be easily replaced via disassembling the handle, and a couple of extras are included with more available for purchase if necessary.Perhaps most importantly, shots have been much more consistent using this tool for my puck prep routine. Those tiny needles do a great job of breaking up clumps without disrupting too much else. It may seem expensive for what it is but the build quality is exceptional. I have no doubt it will last for years. Definitely worth the investment.
