How It Works

Simply place the WDT tool on your filled portafilter basket. The magnetic base grips the rim securely while the rotating needle head distributes and de-clumps grounds in a smooth, even motion. The result? A uniform coffee bed density that promotes consistent, even water flow through the puck — producing espresso with a richer crema and more complex flavor profile.
