Espresso Coffee Stirrer, Coffee Stirring Tamper WDT Distribution Tool, Needle Type Distributor Hand Stirrer Tool (Black）

I was skeptical at first in getting one of these but I am definitely a believer now.The WDT tool allows you to evenly distribute and break up any clumps that may occur when transferring the grounds to the portafilter basket. I've definitely noticed a difference as it has decreased channeling to allow and even flow of extraction.I use this in combination with other tools like a leveler to help me make that puck of condensed coffee as flat and uniform as possible. It's a great tool to have in your back pocket and i use it every time now!

I like how it works to stir and level ground coffee, no complaints there. I made a mistake in purchasing this, as the needles aren't protected, and people aren't protected from the needles, so I had to find a safe place to store it.

Works fines

Not the greatest distributor. There are too many needles and they end up pushing the grounds around too much and causing clumps up against the sides of my dosing funnel. It shouldn’t push them around into little piles. The needles should move freely through the grounds like sand. Many reviewers suggested only using four needles, which is a smart idea and I will try that going forward. Storing this is awkward too. The needles are long and therefor, very flexible so I’m afraid of bending the needles if I put into a drawer so it lives on top of my espresso machine. Again, reviewers suggest trimming them to make them shorter and more usable. Another good suggestion but for the money, I really hate that you are forced to modify what should be a fairly simple tool. Not a huge fan of how the needles are held in either, which I believe is just tension. If I still had the box, I’d return it.

Works great chops up the clumps when I'm making expresso and makes the espresso much better

I assumed it was assembled when I bought it, however assembling it is difficult and you can easily make the tines too loose and unusable. You have to poke the tines into a material that is semi-soft and it's supposed to stick. My experience was different though. Some of the tines continue to stay loose and wobbly. They also fall out when you try to use it.

Works surprisingly great :)

It’s a little flimsy so you have to stir kind of hard which causes the espresso grinds to fall over the edge of the portafilter. This is the first one I’ve gotten so I’m not sure if all espresso stirrers are like this. Would definitely recommend getting a dosing funnel along with this so the espresso doesn’t fall over the side of the portafilter.

This coffee stirrer does what it's supposed to do of course, but that's a given. What makes this one stand out if that feels substantial and well-made. It looks like a quality tool, and won't look out of place next to your fancy espresso machine.

Comme indiquer par quelqu'un d'autre :Essayer d'abord avec seulement quatre tiges (la moitié de celle qui sont à monter.Cela permet de mélanger sans trop pousser la mouture. Idéal vu l'objectif.

A bit finicky to put together but very useful when paired with a funnel tool on the barista express.

I wish i had not installed all of the provided needles. It pushes the grounds around enough to spill over the funnel. Half of the provided needles would work better. I am sure that i could remove some, and i bet i would like it better.

C'est le mélangeur le moins cher que j'ai pu trouver, et je ne regret pas, mais ce n'est pas vraiment pratique pour le ranger.
