Weber Workshops Blind Shaker – dosing and shaking tool for 58mm
You grind straight into it, put the lid on and give it a quick shake. The grounds settle evenly, static clumps break up, and nothing ends up on the counter. Then you place the shaker on the 58 mm basket and pull the plug – the coffee falls cleanly into the basket.
The Weber Workshops Blind Shaker is a dosing and redistribution tool made of anodised aluminium with a polished, smooth inner wall. Coffee Coaching Club is an importer of Weber Workshops.

What sets the Blind Shaker apart
With single dosing, freshly ground coffee builds up static and clumps together. Shaking it in the closed cup takes away this static, breaks up clumps and distributes the grounds. According to Weber, this reduces static and channelling and increases extraction yield. Thanks to Weber’s own process, the polished inner surface is finished so smoothly that hardly any coffee sticks to it – with no coating at all.
On Weber grinders (EG-1, Key), the magnet in the base centres the shaker automatically on the grinder plate and on the rear right rest of the EG-1 base. For other grinders, it is also available as the Blind Shaker without magnet.

Blind Shaker or Blind Tumbler
The Blind Shaker has a lid and is built for 58 mm – you actively shake and homogenise. The Blind Tumbler has no lid, but fits 58 and 49 mm and is quicker to use. If you want to homogenise actively, go for the Shaker; if you switch between basket sizes, the Tumbler.
Shaking and WDT
The two complement each other well: shaking breaks up coarse clumps and takes away static, then the needles of a WDT tool loosen any fine remnants right in the basket. Many people use both together.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the Blind Shaker if I already have a WDT tool?
The two complement each other. The shaker takes away static and breaks up coarse clumps by shaking, the WDT loosens fine remnants in the basket. Many people combine both.
Does the Blind Shaker work with non-Weber grinders?
As a dosing cup, yes. The magnetic self-centring only works with Weber grinders. On other grinders the magnet can get in the way – that’s what the Blind Shaker without magnet is for.
How do you shake it properly?
Lid on, first shake vertically a few times, then swirl horizontally. A few seconds are enough. Then place it over the 58 mm basket and pull the plug.
Silver or Onyx – is there a functional difference?
No, only in looks. Both use the same anodised aluminium with the non-stick inner surface.
Roastery tip
With very light, dense roasts, shaking too hard can compact the grounds. One or two calm movements are usually enough; the WDT does the rest. With our medium profiles such as Nutty Delight, the process is especially forgiving. That’s our recommendation, one of many.
