Varia ORBI Distributor 58 mm – distribution tool with three blades and lockable depth
You place the distributor on the basket and turn it once. Three angled blades push the ground coffee aside and level the surface before you tamp. The depth stays exactly as you set it. The distributor comes in Black, White, Silver, Sand, Ruby and Forest.
The ORBI Distributor is newly announced and available to pre-order from us.
Three blades, fixed depth
Using the threaded part at the top, you adjust the height of the 58 mm distribution surface and with it the working depth to suit your basket and dose. The threaded part holds the chosen depth in place. Three angled blades move the ground coffee as you turn and level the surface for the tamper.

Who it's for
For anyone who wants a level surface before tamping and wants to keep their routine repeatable. A good fit if you want to find a setting once and then stop thinking about it – and if it should match the colour of your Varia ORBI.
You'll find more distributors among our levellers and distribution tools. Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Varia. You'll find the full range in our Varia collection.
Roastery tip: Even preparation shows most clearly what a bean has to offer. For espresso, we like to use Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, and for a fruity cup Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
What goes with it
Frequently asked questions about the ORBI Distributor
Does the distributor replace the tamper?
No. It distributes and levels the ground coffee before tamping. Afterwards you tamp as usual, for example with the Varia Calibre Tamper.
How do I set the depth?
Using the threaded part at the top, you set the working depth of the 58 mm surface to suit your basket and dose. The threaded part holds the chosen depth in place.
Does it fit other baskets too?
The distribution surface measures 58 mm. Whether it fits your basket cleanly depends on the inner diameter of your basket. Varia lists the distributor in the ORBI line.
What's in the box?
The ORBI Distributor and a silicone protective base.
