Wiedemann WDT Needle Distribution Tool Oak – even distribution, less channeling
Clumps and unevenly distributed grounds lead to channeling – the water finds the path of least resistance, and extraction becomes uneven. The WDT tool (Weiss Distribution Technique) loosens the coffee grounds in the basket and spreads them evenly, for more consistent espresso, cup after cup. Handle in solid oak, handmade in the Wiedemann workshop.
