Fellow WDT Tool Espresso Distribution Tool, Retractable, with Stand

About this item

• WHAT IS A WDT TOOL? – WDT stands for Weiss Distribution Technique. Fine, angled needles gently whisk ground coffee in your portafilter to remove clumps and even out distribution before tamping.
• COMPATIBILITY: WORKS WITH ANY ESPRESSO PORTAFILTER – The needles reach into the basket, so there is no size or brand to match. Use it with Fellow Espresso Series 1 or any other espresso machine, after grinding and before tamping.
• WHY USE IT? – Coffee grounds clump after grinding, and clumps let water find uneven paths through the puck instead of soaking it evenly. That is called channeling. Distributing the grounds before you tamp helps prevent it.
• SLIDES OPEN, STORES CLOSED – A smooth slide-open mechanism reveals the needles during use and retracts them fully for safe storage between shots.
• BALANCED WEIGHT – The aluminum housing feels substantial in hand, giving you a steady, controlled feel while distributing grounds.
• FOR HOME BARISTAS AT ANY LEVEL – Whether you are pulling your first shot or chasing a better one, this is the step between grinding and tamping. A small tool for the home kitchen counter, beside your grinder and tamper.
• HANDLE THE NEEDLES WITH CARE – The needles are precision instruments and can easily be bent. Retract needles fully after use for safe storage. If needles become damaged, they should be replaced.
• HAND WASH ONLY – Hand wash with soap and a soft sponge. Needles are delicate, so take care when wiping clean. Not dishwasher safe. For deeper cleaning, disassemble periodically and clean components by hand, then dry thoroughly before reassembly.
• WARRANTY – Espresso WDT Tool is covered by Fellow’s standard non-electric one-year warranty.
• DESIGNED IN SAN FRANCISCO – Fellow makes beautifully functional tools for any kitchen, designed to bring intention and precision to the act of making. When simple motions become small moments of joy, that’s Everyday Magic.
