WDT Tool
A needle-like stirring tool used to break up clumps in espresso grounds.
The Weiss Distribution Technique tool is a thin needle or set of needles mounted in a handle, used to stir ground coffee in the portafilter basket before tamping. By breaking up clumps created during grinding, the WDT promotes even water flow through the puck, reducing channeling and improving espresso shot consistency and flavor balance.
