WDT Espresso Tool Espresso distribution Tools 10 Needles 0 35mm Espresso Coffee Stirrer Nature Wood Handle with Stand

The media could not be loaded. Breaks coffee clumps easily with its fine needles Simple to use; just rotate the needles around through the coffee until it breaks up any little clumps. Makes pulls uniform. It really upped my family’s morning espresso game :). The tool is a tiny bit wobbly when you put it down; maybe if it was a little heavier it wouldn’t wobble. Aesthetically, it looks stylish and modern. Great purchase. Read more

This is a very nice WDT Tool and a very good value. It comes with a base that can store the WDT Tool so I can throw this in my kit bag when I travel. The handle shape is very nice...not too thick or thin...it's just right. I like the shape of the handle because you can put it down with the needles facing up and it won't tip over and roll away. It has a nice weight to it as well. The 0.35 needles are also thinner than the 0.4mm needles that many cheap WDTs come with. They have a nice flex to them and move through the finely ground espresso. I recommend removing the 4 inner needles or just using 3 in a triangle formation. At first I didn't know how to remove the needles, but I posted a question and the seller was very responsive. The seller provided a helpful tutorial video showing how to pull the needles out with a tweezer which worked perfectly. I would recommend this WDT Tool and may buy another one for my other espresso machine setup in my home office. Read more

I wanted to try this as part of my espresso prep process. It is a good, inexpensive, alternative. I will say it feels cheap and the needles don't go back in easy. But it does work and i am learning how to use it well. Go here before you spend $200 on some fancy one. Read more

I like the format of these needles and their thinness. Works great for my espresso. I've been having way more consistent shots. Read more

If you look closely at the picture, there is this black piece that sits at the top of all of the needles at the intersection with the wooden base. This came off and dropped some glue in my coffee grounds. I couldn’t get it to go back on because it involves threading all of the needles through the holes in the plate, which is very difficult. Now I am using without that black piece, but doesn’t look as good. Read more

I am brand new to making espresso myself at home. I am using a breville touch. This WDT tool has helped a bunch with my puck prep. It is well made and looks pretty sitting with my other espresso tools. I would purchase this again. Read more

I’ve used it everyday for about 8 months. Hasn’t bent, broken, or fallen apart. Feels good in the hand, light weight and looks good. Gotta be pretty precise putting it back in it’s holder but no biggie. Read more

I like natural wood so this is my second (different) WDT tool / needle stirrer. My first was a darker wood but the base was narrow and fit in my tamping station. However, it had no bottom (to catch grinds) and the handle kept unscrewing so I bought this one. I really like the lighter grain but the base is very light for Ash. Perhaps the walnut grain would be heavier? The internet says "Walnut wood is more durable, strong, and stable than Ash wood." I'm not sure what they mean by stable, shrinkage? Here, the base is falls over constantly. No stable. Anyway, I recommend putting four clean nickels in the Ash base to create ballast. Now it's like a weeble-wobble. The base is larger than my previous tool so it won't fit in my base block. I've considered drilling a hole and inverting it, so it fits. The needles are finer and adjustable then my previous tool. This has ten finer needles as opposed to four thicker ones. I find myself using my old tool to stir the dosing cup straight from the grinder. Stronger needles work better on fresh clumps. However, the Ash tool seems to work better when finishing the portafilter. The needles feel too fine for both but maybe I'm just used to using my old tool. This is a decent natural wood tool for the price despite the flawed base. Read more
