Know before you buy
No, the MHW-3BOMBER Cyclone SE Pro is specifically engineered for 58mm portafilters. It will not provide the necessary fit for smaller basket sizes.
By breaking up clumps in your coffee grounds, this tool creates a uniform density across the puck. This prevents water from finding the path of least resistance, which significantly reduces channeling and leads to a more balanced, consistent extraction.
The SE Pro is designed for precision and consistency, utilizing a fixed needle configuration optimized for standard 58mm baskets. It is intended to reach the necessary depth to de-clump the grounds without requiring manual height adjustments.
Yes. The WDT tool is designed to distribute and de-clump the grounds, but it does not compress them. You must follow up with a proper tamp to create the necessary resistance for high-pressure espresso extraction.
The needles can be wiped clean with a dry microfiber cloth after each use to prevent oil buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the needle alignment and finish.
