Some running faster than others, even with the same coffee, dose, and grind? While it could be your coffee is too fresh (yes, this is a thing!), but more likely you need to do a better job evening out the distribution of coffee grounds across the basket before tamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more evenly you distribute the grounds, the more evenly water will flow through the bed of coffee. As a result, your extractions will be more balanced, repeatable and most importantly, delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to distribution tools, there is no better bang for your buck, and most would say, more effective, than the Weiss Distribution Technique, or WDT. Not all tools are created equal, however, and if you have tried this technique before and had disappointing results, it was probably the tool at fault. Needle thickness, stiffness, number, and array matter. Too much—even too few—of any and all of those, and you will struggle to have good results with the technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flair WDT Tool was designed with all of this in mind, as well as to be the perfect fit for all of our portafilters, from the NEO on up to the 58.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot convinced?  Have a look at this article for more details on the benefits of using a WDT tool:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) explained\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meticulist.net\/blog\/improving-espresso-wdt-what-is-it-and-why\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.meticulist.net\/blog\/improving-espresso-wdt-what-is-it-and-why\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(7) 0.25 mm diameter needles, extending 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 degrees angle of peripheral needles to center needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 mm needle span\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e54.7 mm long hilt, 24 mm at widest and 17.4 mm at the waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom pedestal for storage and protection when traveling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool + Pedestal 103.5 mm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor getting started with WDT, we suggest the following\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/yXrlooLiC3w?feature=share\"\u003ethese video instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution: Needles are delicate, and non-replaceable.
