Weber Workshops Blind Tumbler – dosing and redistribution tool for 58 and 49mm
You grind your single dose straight into the cup, give the grounds a quick stir, place the tumbler on the basket and pull the plug. The coffee falls evenly and without clumps into the basket – no spoon, no tapping, no grounds on the counter.
The Weber Workshops Blind Tumbler is made of anodised aluminium with a polished, smooth inner surface. Coffee Coaching Club is an importer of Weber Workshops.
What sets the Blind Tumbler apart
If the grounds sit unevenly in the basket, with clumps and gaps, the brew water takes the easiest path – channelling occurs. A quick stir in the tumbler breaks up static clumps and distributes the coffee before you even tamp. According to Weber, this reduces static and channelling and increases extraction yield. Thanks to Weber’s own process, the polished inner surface is so smooth that the grounds slide out almost without residue – with no coating.
Unlike the Blind Shaker, the Tumbler deliberately has no lid – and in return it is designed for both common basket sizes: 58 and 49 mm.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Blind Tumbler and the Blind Shaker?
The Tumbler has no lid and fits 58 and 49 mm – you stir and tip it out. The Shaker has a lid for shaking, but only fits 58 mm.
Does the Tumbler fit 49 mm machines like the Cremina?
Yes, it is designed for 58 and 49 mm.
Why is the Tumbler not dishwasher-safe?
The non-stick inner surface is a mechanical polish, not a coating. Dishwashers and harsh cleaning agents can damage it. Warm water and a soft cloth are all you need.
Why does the Onyx version cost more than silver?
The black anodising requires an extra step. Functionally, both are identical.
Roastery tip
A short, calm stir is enough – mixing too vigorously tends to compact fine grounds rather than help. Then a WDT and a level tamp, done. With balanced profiles such as our Cozy Chocolate, the process is especially forgiving. That’s our recommendation, one of many.
