This is to reduce channeling and produce more consistent, café-quality espresso. The Press & Spin WDT Tool’s needle depth can also be adjusted so it can be used with different basket sizes. It’s constructed of aluminum, magnetic materials and 304 stainless steel. It is designed to fit most 58mm portafilters.When I first used this Press & Spin WDT Tool, its operation felt a little tight and uneven, and did not feel quite as smooth as it should be. But consequent use seemed to loosen it up and now it has much improved.Used properly, this Press & Spin WDT Tool will provide a more consistent distribution than manual WDT tools. This should in turn provide more consistent and balanced shots with less channeling. Using it could also help maintain a cleaner work space.The down side is that this Press & Spin WDT Tool is pricey. And the needles can be bent or broken if used on very dense grounds, or if the tool is misused.Proper use of this Press & Spin WDT Tool helps ensure more consistent coffee making.
