WDT tool, Espresso Distribution tools, 10 x 0.35mm 304 Stainless Steel Needles Installed with 10 Extra needles for Espresso Stirrer Replacement, Aluminum Alloy Handle with Stand (Matte black)

Very happy with the tool. My first experience using a WDT tool. Really helped my shot quality. I like the stand it comes with. I don't find it that hard to place back in the stand. If anything a slight inward push on the needles and goes in. The number of needles make it easy to use. The size is convenient for use and doesn't take up much room. I keep it next to my grinder. The extra needle set is great. Highly recommend.

This is a really good product. I stopped leaving reviews - too time consuming. Yet I feel compelled to compliment this coffee distribution/de-clumping tool. I am not receiving any benefit other than being satisfied with this item. Delivered quickly. Great protective packaging-impressive. The entire base with top sits attractively and unobtrusively on the counter by my espresso machine. The base is heavy and stable. The top which contains the pins for distributing the coffee, fits easily and quickly into the base after each use. The pins and pattern of the pins make the distribution/de-clumping quick and easy. At first, I thought the pins might be too fine (too small gauge) but they work great. I had been using a wood skewer (for grilling) by sharpening one end with a knife into a point and then stirring the grounds. This tool works faster and more efficiently and, distributes more evenly than my home-made tool. The only alternative I considered was one reviewer’s wry suggestion to just push some sewing needles into a cork for the distribution tool. That would work just fine but, it wouldn’t look so good on the counter or complement my top quality espresso machine, grinder, tamper, scale, etc. Well worth the price.

Nice little tool. I never used one before and it does make a difference when evenly distributing the grounds and taking any clumps out. Would recommend.

It's a perfect wdt tool and works wonderfully for it's entended purpose. Great weight to it and the base, however the base to store it is very slim, making it difficult to replace once done.

I love the weight of this tool. It works well.

After a month experimenting with my new Breville Barista Express, I finally decided that a few of the basic accessories actually would make a difference in my coffee, so I got this as well as a distributor tool, and there is a noticeable difference. I consistently get excellent extractions, where before, I would occasionally get a shot that clearly was not distributed and tamped properly. The price for these tools was combined, less than $30 and most definitely worth it!

This is used nearly daily, it’s been about a month, and I haven’t noticed the needles falling out. I didn’t research if these needles were the right size for perfectly distributed coffee, but it breaks up my clumps very easily and efficiently. I made a lot of changes for my new espresso machine that have improved my coffee, and I would guess this would definitely be one of them. If you buy a WDT tool, I did my research and I can’t complain about this one that I bought. It even came with replacement needles. Would buy again. It feels nice, and I even wipe the needles after each use with a wet and then dry towel, and they still stay in place. You can bend them if you want them angled or straight.

I bought these for my Flair Pro 3. It does help declump as expected.
