4.2 Rating 17 Reviews
Using with dosing ring has decreased channeling, making for a better tasting espresso. Delivery was fast - two days from East coast to MA. Delighted with purchase and service.

Pretty bad design. The two prongs that are folded and meet in the center just get stuck. I feel like nobody tested this.

Works great with the magnetic dosing ring and our new ECM machine. As always, great customer service at Espressoparts.com

A no-nonsense item that works as expected. Some reviews mentioned that the prongs are thick, but in the end it works like a charm breaking up the clumps.

I got curious enough to give this tool a try. It is well-built. It does what it's meant to do. It remains to be determined if and how it affects the taste of my espresso shots. A cute gadget.

Using this distribution tool along with the dosing ring and a leveler are (for me at least) the key to eliminate channeling. Only reason this gets 4 out of 5 stars is that the tines are relatively thick. It's excellent for re-distributing grinds within the basket and my only critique is that it doesn't break up static/clumpy grinds. I'm embarrassed about how much channeling I used to just accept as normal before I hopped on the WDT train. There's no going back now.

Love it. And, it is affordable. I like that the depth is adjustable for different doses.
