I recently purchased the Nessus WDT Espresso distribution tool and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. Assembling it was a breeze, and it came with extra needles which is always a plus. The tool is easy to clean, which is important to me because I like to keep my equipment in top condition. The price was very fair compared to other similar products on the market, making it an even better value for money. One thing that really stood out to me was the brush that collects the coffee grounds. It's incredibly easy to clean, which makes maintenance a breeze. I've had my share of espresso machines in the past, and I can tell you that this one is a keeper. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality distribution tool at an affordable price Read more
This WDT tool made a noticeable difference in the quality of my espresso shots. The needles are thin enough to break up clumps and create a very even coffee bed, and the distribution feels smooth and controlled. Build quality is solid, the handle feels comfortable, and it’s easy to clean. I’ve gotten more consistent extractions and better flavor since using it. For anyone looking to upgrade their espresso workflow, this is a simple but very effective tool. Definitely worth it. Read more
EDIT: Well, 2 months later, this is still performing okay, however some of the needles have gotten slightly bent, causing it to seem loose and wobbly as they rotate within their opening. . Not a great aspect of this design. If you loosen the head straighten any bent needles, it does help a little bit. So far so good. It’s made a little difference in our coffee. We buy espresso beans and so we really pay attention to the way the espresso acts from cup to cup. We notice that after using this tool our coffee is a little sweeter, probably because the way the grounds are so evenly distributed and the little channels that the wires create. Easy to use, store, and keep clean. And it’s cute on the counter! Read more
Very happy with quality and performance. It’s a nice addition to my espresso machine. I took out the hairy piece and put it in the small hole on my barista block. Now it’s integrated in in my wood block. Really nice. Read more
I very much think this is a good starter distribution tool! The needles are a bit flimsy so sometimes when you are distributing the coffee grounds, it tends to flick the coffee grounds around out of my Porter filters. That’s the only reason I deducted one star, but other than that I enjoy the fact that it has that sponge on the inside, so it cleans off the tool after each use, which is a nice feature. It’s pretty lightweight and good in size and easy to use. For the price and starting off my espresso at home journey I think this is good to start with. The photo I posted is of the inner bristles pushed up so you see what’s on the inside and what is actually cleaning off the tool every time you insert it back into the case and this is after I’ve used it for over a month ☺️ Read more
I use this thing every day for my espresso. I'd like the stand like where it sits inside itself. You can actually push up the little brush inside there and then use that to wipe things down. I think that it does a great job. It's pretty basic. It's just needles. Read more
I just found out about these WDT tools recently, even though I've been making my own home cappuccinos on a Rancilio Silvia for 19 years. It's a great little tool, and I believe I can taste a difference in using it. After reading up on them, how they work and general info about them, I decided I wanted one with very fine .35 pins, and a good quality metal with a stand-up case rather that one of the larger stands that holds the device in a suspended position. This one is a heavy, solid metal and the pins are very fine. You can insert 10 pins or fewer if you wish, but I put in all 10 and it works well that way. In addition, included is a little tube that holds 10 extra pins to use as replacement pins when/if needed. The pins are so very fine they could obviously break easily, yet if you are careful I doubt they will break. But it's nice to have replacements. This holder has a brush of some sort tucked into the bottom, and when you put the top part back into the holder after use the brushes clean off any coffee that may be clinging to the pins. After using the device the first time, I noticed that almost no coffee was clinging to the pins anyway so the brush won't have a lot of work to do. The brush itself can also be removed if you want to clean it at some point or shake off any coffee grounds that have collected on the bristles. I like the black color, and it's a small and sleek device that doesn't take much room to store. I think it's a worthwhile purchase if you are a serious espresso maker, and this device is clearly of very high quality. Recommended! Read more
This is a great little product I like how heavy it feels and it looks expensive great addition to my Breville espresso machine. There aren’t really instructions on putting the needles through, but you just unscrew the cap and thread it through and screwed the cat back on. I love that there’s a brush inside so you can easily clean each needle after each use. I would definitely buy again. Read more
