Subminimal Flick WDT Tool – an even coffee bed, safely stowed
One click, the fine needles extend, and you draw them through the freshly ground coffee. Clumps break up, the grounds sit evenly in the basket – and once you have distributed them, the needles disappear safely back into the handle.
The Flick WDT Tool works on the Weiss Distribution Technique principle: before tamping, you loosen the grounds so the water later flows through evenly. The retractable needles make the tool practical for everyday use, because no exposed tips are left lying around.
Retractable and magnetic
The needles extend and retract again with a simple click. The tool stands in its aluminium base or clings magnetically to the espresso machine – within reach, without taking up counter space. Two complete sets of spare needles are included.
