Know before you buy
Unlike manual tools that rely on hand movement, the MOONRAKER uses a patented spirographic gear system to ensure consistent, repeatable distribution. This mechanized approach eliminates human error and ensures the entire coffee bed is homogenized with every rotation.
The main difference lies in the internal gear construction. The Ultra edition features solid brass gears for a more tactile, premium feel and increased longevity, while the Standard edition utilizes food-safe, anti-static polymer gears.
The MOONRAKER is designed to be compatible with most standard 58mm portafilter baskets. Its footprint is optimized for standard commercial and prosumer espresso setups.
Yes, the MOONRAKER features swappable needles and allows for varied depth settings. This ensures you can achieve thorough mixing regardless of your specific dose size or basket geometry.
The needles are held in place by a magnetic attachment, making them easy to remove for cleaning or replacement. The included brush helps clear any residual grounds from the mechanism, and the device comes with spare needles to ensure long-term performance.
Yes, by randomizing the grounds and breaking up clumps through its specific gear-driven path, the tool creates a uniform density across the puck. This consistency significantly reduces the likelihood of channeling, leading to a more even extraction.
