Know before you buy
The adjustable angle allows you to customize the sweep of the needles to match your specific portafilter basket size and your personal stirring technique. This ensures you can reach the edges of the basket effectively to break up clumps without hitting the sidewalls.
The dual-needle system offers versatility in how you break up coffee grounds. The finer 0.25mm needles are ideal for precision work and breaking up stubborn clumps, while the 0.4mm needles provide more structural stability for a thorough, even distribution across the entire bed.
The magnetic base allows the tool to stand upright securely on any metallic surface, such as your espresso machine or a metal coffee station. This keeps the needles protected and off your countertop when not in use, while keeping the tool within immediate reach for your next shot.
Yes, the adjustable design and needle configuration are intended to work with standard 58mm portafilters. The flexible positioning ensures you can achieve consistent distribution regardless of your specific basket depth.
Because the needles are made from 304 stainless steel, they are highly resistant to rust and corrosion. You can simply wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth after use, or use a damp cloth to remove any residual coffee oils.
