Know before you buy
The Pullman WDT is designed with a 58mm base, making it compatible with most standard 58mm commercial and home espresso machine filter baskets.
The height is adjustable between 7mm and 14mm, allowing you to customize the depth of the needles to match the specific dose of coffee in your basket for more precise distribution.
Tapping the portafilter can cause grounds to settle unevenly, whereas the WDT tool physically breaks up clumps and redistributes the coffee density, which significantly reduces channeling and ensures a more balanced extraction.
The tool features a food-grade 304 stainless steel base for durability, paired with a high-quality aluminum handle finished with natural Jarrah wood for a comfortable, premium grip.
Beyond keeping your workspace organized, the stand provides a hygienic place to rest the tool between uses, preventing the needles from touching surfaces and keeping your coffee station tidy.
