Know before you buy
The WDT tool uses thin needles to break up clumps in your coffee grounds, which promotes even water flow through the puck. This helps prevent channeling and leads to a more consistent, balanced espresso extraction.
The 54mm funnel is designed for Breville and Sage machines like the Barista Express, Pro, Touch, and Bambino. The 58mm funnel is compatible with standard professional-sized portafilters, including the Breville Dual Boiler, Rocket, and Flair 58.
Yes, the pins are removable and replaceable. The tool also includes a built-in storage vault, which keeps the pins safe and organized when they are not in use or when you are traveling.
The funnel is designed to sit snugly on your portafilter basket to prevent grounds from spilling over the sides. It creates a clean, contained workspace, allowing you to distribute your grounds without making a mess.
The needles are 0.4mm thick. This specific gauge is thin enough to effectively break up stubborn clumps without being so fragile that they bend or break during regular use.
