What customers say
This Rhino combo is overwhelmingly praised for its excellent value and innovative dual functionality, merging the WDT distributor and tamper into one efficient unit. Users value the streamlined workflow and saved counter space. The tamper component receives high marks for its substantial weight, solid construction, and ability to deliver consistently level tamps, suggesting strong durability.

Know before you buy
The Rhino WDT-Tamper Combo features a 58mm base. It is designed to fit most standard commercial-style portafilters, but you should verify your machine's specific basket size before purchasing.
The WDT needles are integrated into one end of the tool. You use this side to stir and break up clumps in your coffee grounds, then simply flip the unit over to use the flat tamper base on the other side.
The needles are fixed in place to ensure consistent distribution across the entire basket. They are designed at an optimal length to reach the bottom of a standard portafilter basket without needing manual adjustment.
The unit is designed for easy maintenance and can be disassembled. You can wipe the stainless steel tamper base with a damp cloth and gently clean the needles to remove any residual coffee oils or grounds.
At 400g, the tool provides a substantial, balanced feel that helps you apply consistent pressure. The weight is intentional, providing enough heft to create a level, compressed puck without requiring excessive force.
