Wow. What a difference! I was using the plastic scoop and tamper combination that came with my espresso machine. Using the Symtype 51 mm set - such a dream to use and functioned as intend. I was spilling grounds all over the place but with the dosing funnel, no mess, no fuss, and easy to use. The WDT tool was easy to use but I did not notice the difference. It does distribute the grounds and made the puck more dense. Before, I would just scoop the grounds and start tamping with the plastic handle that came with the machine. The filter screen - a god send. The puck stayed together and felt like the distribution of the water was much more even using the screen. The filter screen was more dense than I expected. And the pièce de résistance, the tamper, has great weight and fit snug into the portafilter. Before using this set, the coffee grounds would come out of the portafilter in a pile of mess. Now, after using the Symtype 51 mm set, it comes out as a pretty solid puck. The coffee tastes great and I feel more is extracted from the grounds that before. It was easy to use and comfortable in my hands. I have use a wooden station to house the instruments and now my espresso making mornings are much more efficient and great tasting one cup of espresso at a time. Measure twice and order once. I had to measure my portafilter dimensions and measured wrong. I initially bought a 53 mm set - which obviously did not work. Now that I have the proper size, mornings are a bit more bearable. Price was also very reasonable. The base is not for this company but it works just fine. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Great quality products the tamper is very heavy and does a super job for expresso. The screen is nice and heavy not very flimsy which is great the little scooper assist is nice to have though I don't have a built-in grinder so probably won't use it a lot. The durability of everything in it seems very good and is very high quality Read more

*WARNING* One of the needles fell out of my WDT tool on first opening, and that would have been very unpleasant to discover by stepping on it. Give each one a bit of a tug to make sure the glue held. The tamper and screen have been great though! The tamper has some great heft to it which is quite satisfying to hold in my hand. The screen was great until it met its untimely demise in my garbage disposal (RIP lil buddy). The funnel is a funnel. Read more
