PUQ Prep Navigator – automatic WDT and distribution tool
One press of a button, and the needles loosen the coffee grounds evenly: the PUQ Prep Navigator takes over the distribution step you'd otherwise do by hand with a WDT tool. The result is a calmer, more even puck structure – prepared the same way, shot after shot.
A motorised mechanism with a rotating ring and multiple needles moves through the grounds in a combined motion, breaking up clumps and covering the whole surface. This isn't a promise of the perfect shot, but a way to make the preparation step reproducible. Our opinion is one of many.
