Timemore Pucks WDT

Eliminate Channeling with the Timemore Pucks Orbital Needle Distributor 58.4mm

The secret to café-quality espresso at home lies in the science of Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT), and the Timemore Pucks Orbital Needle Distributor takes this science to the next level. This professional-grade WDT tool is engineered to break up clumps and homogenize the coffee bed before tamping. By utilizing a mechanical orbital motion, it ensures that every gram of coffee is evenly distributed throughout the portafilter basket, drastically reducing channeling and ensuring a sweet, balanced, and repeatable extraction every time.

Mechanical Orbital Precision for Perfect Distribution

Traditional manual WDT tools can be inconsistent, often moving coffee from one side to the other rather than truly distributing it. The Timemore Orbital Distributor features a geared mechanical system that moves ultra-fine stainless steel needles in a specific geometric pattern. As you rotate the top handle, the needles sweep through the coffee in an "orbital" path, ensuring that the bottom, middle, and top of the coffee bed are perfectly aerated. This systematic approach guarantees a level of uniformity that is impossible to achieve by hand.

Ultra-Fine Stainless Steel Needles

The tool is equipped with high-tensile, flexible stainless steel needles designed to slice through clumps caused by static or oily roasts. These needles are thin enough to avoid displacing large amounts of coffee while being strong enough to maintain their shape. By de-clumping the grinds at a microscopic level, the Timemore Orbital Needle Distributor increases the resistance of the coffee puck to pressurized water, leading to higher extraction yields and a more complex flavor profile in the cup.

Designed for the Professional Barista Workflow

The 58.4mm base acts as a built-in funnel and guide, sitting securely on your portafilter to prevent mess and coffee loss. The ergonomic "spinning" motion is satisfying and efficient, fitting seamlessly into a fast-paced espresso workflow. Made from premium aluminum and stainless steel, the device feels substantial in the hand and adds a touch of modern sophistication to any coffee station. It is an essential tool for those using high-end espresso machines where even the smallest distribution flaw can lead to a "spritzing" bottomless portafilter.
