FusedLine Metal WDT Tool and Self-Aligning Stand | Precision Machined (Black Anodized Aluminum)

Excellent WDT Tool and works perfectly for breaking up coffee clumps in the portafilter. Yes, it is a lot more expensive than the usual items found on Amazon, but you get what you pay for and i have found no channeling in my coffee extractions since using this tool.

I've tried a few WDT tools in the past, but this is by far the best I've tried.Easy to store and the needles have a good balance between fine and sturdy. The spare needle in the packaging was a nice touch.As for the results....Used in conjunction with a dosing funnel to keep the grinds from spilling while stirring, tbh I struggle to tell any difference in the final result. I guess I'm lucky that my grinder (modified Vario) creates fluffy grinds straight out of the chute, but if this wasn't the case then this would 100% do the job.Using a s/s mesh puck screen on top of the coffee had a much bigger impact in the final result than any other tool/trick I've tried so far. Still nice to have the WDT for occasional use, albeit a placebo (in my case).

I bought a cheap WDT last year and this one blows it away. You definitely get what you pay for. I particularly like the neat way of locking the needles into the handle and the little plastic "spanner" tool used to tighten it up.The only issue I have is with the single spare needle supplied. C'mon, for this money could you not have stretched to more than one single spare?

Sturdier built than expected. It's definitely a MUST have tool for any espresso maker. Can't believe I've waited so long. Making a huge difference straight away. Helps a lot to make a more even tamp. A good stand as well that many other WDT tools doesn't seem to have. Things that doesn't make it 5 star is that it does collect a bit of coffee. So you need to brush it off yourself after every use. Also I'm experimenting myself of not putting all "needles" in the holder. That way you move less coffee around and can work a more even bed. Looking at other WDT tools it seems to be a common problem that they just have too many needles that basically move too much coffee around. Overall it's a good tool. Expensive but looks better than the cheaper options for around 10-15 pounds so think it's worth the money.

There are plenty of WDT tools available out there. Most of them are poorly designed, largely due to incorrect distancing between the pins and incorrect number of pins, pin width and pin angles.The build of the pin holder leaves something to be desired, perhaps, but no amount of amazing build quality will help you get a tool that works correctly.

This whisk is very expensive but it does work perfectly. SInce I've been using it with my De Longhi the pressure is getting up to the Optimal Zone every time - even with my older beans. I don't know why it is so expensive but now I've got it I don't want to let it go!

A sturdy thing, with the right amount of weight and strong tines. (The stand/holder too is just right, with enough weight that it shouldn't easily topple over.) The rods come in a separate little "test tube" and are easy to install. (There's a spare one too, assuming that you fit all of them, though you might prefer to use fewer.) Works as expected, really helping to break-up any clumps of ground coffee, so that you're left with a soft powder. Inexpensive. Recommended.

I use this both for espresso and pour overs and have notice huge improvements with the consistency of my shots. This tool has also helped me create a flat even coffee bed for pour overs which I have now seen a reduce in channeling. I have tried some the other cheaper wdt but could never get the results I get with this one. I highly recommend the fused line WDT.
