MHW-3BOMBER WDT Tool Espresso Distribution Tool with Magnetic Stand for Barista, Adjustable Range Coffee Needle Stirrer, 304 Stainless Steel 8 Needles 0.4mm with 6 Extra Needles, Black, T6126-OS

This little tool makes a huge difference in my espresso shots! Works great! It fluffs and distributes the ground coffee evenly in the portafilter, breaking up any clumps and creating a smooth, level surface before tamping. Since I started using it, my extractions have been much more consistent and the taste of the espresso has improved noticeably.I also like that the needles can be adjusted to different positions, which makes it even more effective and customizable.It’s plastic with metal stand, holds on a magnet, it’s very easy to use, it’s sturdy and the design is beautiful, goes well with my others coffee things. The quality is excellent for the price, feels durable and it’s definitely a must-have if you want to get the best out of your coffee at home.

This is a great design and a quality product. The angle adjustment for the needles is super helpful, allowing the exact distance needed for any size portafilter. Needles are removable if a less dense pattern is desired, and they are easily replaceable as well (spare needles are also provided)!The magnetic stand works well, and the magnets have the perfect amount of force to hold it in place but allow easy removal. I was a tiny bit disappointed that the base did not come with any type of rubber or silicone non-skid, and do recommend adding some to the bottom so it doesn't slide around on your countertop.I highly recommend this item!

This WGT is one of the better ones on the market, but it isn't the best. But then again, the best comes with a hefty price. From the number of WGT's in my arsenal, this ranks right up there with the ones I have or could consider. The holder (magnet) is a little above average. Meaning it will hold the WGT without fear of losing it. It comes with extra needles, which is, if you ever used one, come in handy. It is fully adjustable so you can set the needles to the correct width when stirring the grinds. Small yet practical. The perfect size and shape for starting your coffee out right. This one in particular I use for the finer grinds as the needles can agitate them more effectively. Courser grinds not so much. Come cleaning time, this cleans rather well and simply hanging it back up will facilitate drying. Overall? Good choice for the beginner or professional alike. Solid, well designed, and perfect for almost any coffee use.

Great WDT tool, I like that you can adjust the needle angles and spacing. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. Not sure why there’s a lightning bolt on the stand as that doesn’t seem to go with many people’s coffee bar set ups but if you don’t mind that I highly recommend this WDT tool

Handy little WDT that's stored under its own little stand. It does a fine job of breaking up coffee ground clumps and any areas where channeling might occur. Quite honestly, I rarely use mine. I take my finger and gently smooth the grounds across the portafilter basket - then use my 3BOMBER distribution tool - and 3BOMBER spring loaded tamper. I rarely get channeling. So, IMHO while this WDT is a quality piece of equipment, it is marginally useful.

Fantastic build quality. This thing has some nice heft to it. The adjustable spread of the wires is great for different sized basket. I use this WDT for my 2 different sized moka pots. The presentation is a nice touch with the magnets holding it to the stand. Comes with extra replacement wires if needed. Cleans off with a swipe of a dish towel. I am going to be buying more products from MHW-3Bomber because if all their products are like this they punch way above their price class, excellent value.

Great tool, because opening it to replace the tines, it can be tricky

This little guy improved the extraction quality without being overly complex. After grinding there were always high spots in the porta filter when I put the grinds in. There are several different ways to distribute the grinds and I found this to be simple and effective without breaking the bank. The weight is nice and comes with extra pins just incase you bend yours. I've had mine for over a year and haven't needed it so it's nice that it's available.Simple practical tools like this are great in the setup and show you don't need to break the budget to have a solid coffee setup.I enjoy the 3BOMBER line of tools. For the money they offer the best value
