Espresso WDT Tool with Custom Stainless Steel Needles and Stand

Product Description

What is WDT? The Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) is a distribution method for making espresso. By utilizing a fine needle or similar tool, the barista stirs the coffee in the portafilter. A funnel placed above the portafilter helps prevent spills. This stirring action breaks up clumps and evens out the density of coffee within the puck, resulting in reduced channelling and higher, more even extractions.

Named after John Weiss, who developed the technique in 2005 to address excessive clumps produced by grinders, especially smaller home grinders, the WDT has become well-known among home baristas and has been extensively written about over the years.

What Does WDT Do? The most significant benefit of WDT is the reduction in channelling. When executed properly, WDT can lead to decreased channelling and slightly slower shot flow, which is a result of reduced channelling.

How to load/unload the needles? Step 1: Pinch the base of the needle and pull it out. Step 2: Pinch the base of the needle and insert it. Step 3: Pinch the base of the needle and lightly wiggle to ensure stability.

Care and Instructions - Never point the sharp side towards others. - Ensure the needle is thoroughly dried before placing it in the safety holder to prevent swelling. - Be cautious of the sharp metal pins to avoid accidental injury. - Stir carefully and evenly to maintain consistent density throughout the coffee bed. Avoid sloppiness or excessive force to prevent uneven distribution.
