NormcoreWDT Tool, 9 Prong Espresso Distribution Tool, 0.23mm Thick Espresso Stirrer Tools, Weiss Distribution Technique, Anodized Aluminum Handle, Non-Stick Coating White

This has an extra prong in the center versus the original Normcore WDT tool. This is a good quality tool and works very nicely. Great upgrade compared to the original.

Coming from a cheap WDT tool, this tool from Normcore is a huge jump up. The amount and spacing of the needles lets you evenly distribute the bed orders of magnitude faster than my previous tool. Highly recommend.

Very handy to distribute grounds in the portafilter. The handle is magnetic. Love this feature. I'd slap it on the side of my espresso machine and just leave it there for easy access and storage.

The Normcore WDT Tool has been a game-changer for my espresso brewing. The 9 prongs are perfectly spaced and thin enough (0.23mm) to break up clumps in the coffee grounds, ensuring an even distribution. This has noticeably improved the consistency of my espresso shots. The anodized aluminum handle feels premium and easy to grip, and the non-stick coating makes it a breeze to clean. It’s a must-have for anyone serious about their espresso, especially if you use the Weiss Distribution Technique. Highly recommend for baristas looking to refine their extraction process!

I've been drinking espresso for over 20 years and even spent some time working at a coffee bar in college, but clearly over the last decade or so I've settled into the "what can I get quickly" zone and now use an illy machine with illy pods. Our friend, on the other hand, invested in an expensive machine, an equally expensive coffee grinder, and made us espresso recently while he went over all of the subtle nuances to "proper" espresso craft. I had no idea how technical things have gotten (or maybe have been all along, but it seems that recently this has really become a big deal). I decided I should bring our traditional espresso machine out of retirement and gather up the proper tools to make espresso the "correct" way. This tool definitely helps ensure there are no clumps in the ground coffee (I wasn't about to take out a second mortgage to buy a super-fancy grinder), and that's a good start to a great cup of espresso.
