I like it a lot, better coffee distribution in basket and easier tamp with nice even pull through a bottomless basket

works alright. better designs out there. handle is too long to have a comfortable control in redistributing the grounds. prongs are a little too thick, honestly, and the bent prongs in the middle push around the grounds more than I'd like. at the end of the day though, it does the job.

Too long of a handle, but it works.

This tool, used with the dosing ring, works relatively well for distribution. As previously mentioned, it is a little large and I'd guess it isn't quite as easy or effective as some of the smaller needle-based WDTs. That said it works fine - and is an improvement over non-WDT methods.

Far too large (can't even read the dimensions in the product page photo) and the prongs are paper-clip thick. Impractical IMHO.

Using with dosing ring has decreased channeling, making for a better tasting espresso. Delivery was fast - two days from East coast to MA. Delighted with purchase and service.

Pretty bad design. The two prongs that are folded and meet in the center just get stuck. I feel like nobody tested this.

Works great with the magnetic dosing ring and our new ECM machine. As always, great customer service at Espressoparts.com
