Know before you buy
The Bezzera Needle Distribution Tool is specifically designed to fit standard 58mm portafilters. It will not provide a secure fit for smaller 53mm or 54mm baskets.
Yes, the needles are height-adjustable. You can set them to a maximum depth of approximately 19mm (3/4 inch) to ensure they reach the bottom of your specific basket without hitting the base.
The included base features a precision-engineered design that clears coffee grounds from the needles every time you dock the tool. This keeps the needles clean and prevents cross-contamination between shots.
The tool features a rotating needle bed that you manually operate while the ring sits securely on your portafilter. This motion effectively breaks up clumps and levels the coffee bed for a more consistent extraction.
The tool is built from powder-coated aluminum, which is both lightweight and highly durable. It is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy home espresso setup while maintaining its finish.
