JoeFrex WDT Coffee Distribution Tool
The JoeFrex WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) Coffee Distribution Tool is used by baristas and coffee enthusiasts to evenly distribute coffee grounds in a portafilter before tamping.
The WDT tool consists of a handle and a number of thin, needle-like prongs that are spaced evenly apart. To use the tool, the prongs are inserted into the coffee grounds in the portafilter, and then stirred in a circular motion to break up clumps and distribute the coffee evenly. This ensures that the water will flow evenly through the coffee grounds during the brewing process, leading to a more consistent and flavorful espresso shot.
One of the benefits of using the WDT tool is that it can help to reduce channeling, which occurs when water finds a path of least resistance through the coffee grounds and creates an uneven extraction.

A waste of money here..
Well, when you buy cheap, you get cheap. It always holds true. I bought this to replace my homemade tool, which is a champagne bottle cork with five thin needles. It just distributes more evenly than this one, which has wires that are too thick and too closely spaced.
O.H.JoeFrex WDT Coffee Distribution Tool
Feels good and durable.
J.T.Too thick
The needles are way too thick. It's pretty much unusable. It moves chunks of coffee around instead of breaking through them. You could probably scoop coffee with this. I clipped the ends off a keyboard keycap puller and it works a lot better.
R.T.JoeFrex WDT Coffee Distribution Tool
The needles are unnecessarily thick.
M.I.Does what it should
Nothing to complain about as I haven't tried any alternatives to compare my opinion on this with.
J.S.Does the job
Quite an okay WDT tool for its price/quality ratio. In my opinion, the needles are a bit too thick and the wooden part feels a bit rough in hand.
J.H.Does not level
As a tool, it doesn't work because the prongs are too thick and don't level the coffee as well as, for example, acupuncture needles.
