WDT Tool Knurled Style (Plastic) - With Wall Mount Or Tabletop Holder
Here’s a simple customizable WDT tool to help you enhance your daily espresso ritual by distributing and declumping and maximizing extraction. The Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) applied to the coffee grounds in a espresso basket and can greatly reduce chances of channeling, ultimately resulting in better taste. For an in-depth guide on WDT Tools, read here.
This WDT Tool is 3D printed plastic. For the aluminum version, please see here.
[What’s unique about this WDT tool]
The needles are parallel instead of fanning out, so they stay equidistant and comb the same way at any depth of the portafilter. The larger diameter body allows for needles to be spaced out more, which will decrease the likelihood of trapping and carrying a large chunk of coffee grinds in between the needles as you sweep around.
The 3D printed WDT body is made of PLA plastic and comes in two halves: the top half screws into the bottom half. The bottom half has 3 preset layouts for the needles: Small triangle, large triangle, and pentagon, plus a center hole, for a total of 11 holes. Needles can be easily loaded/unloaded to your liking at any time.
There are two styles of holders to choose from:
- Tabletop: Free standing holder that sits on any flat surface and holds the WDT Tool vertically
- Wall Mounted: Mounts to the side of a machine or wall using 3M command strip (included).
