Wiedemann WDT Needle Distribution Tool Olive – even distribution, less channeling
Clumps and unevenly distributed grounds lead to channeling – water finds the path of least resistance, and extraction becomes uneven. With the WDT tool (Weiss Distribution Technique) you loosen the coffee grounds in the portafilter and distribute them evenly, for more consistent espresso, cup after cup. Handle made of solid olive wood with distinctive grain, handcrafted at the Wiedemann workshop.
