Espresso Distribution Tools WDT Coffee Stirrer Tool for Barista 0.4mm 8 Needles Distribution Espresso Stirrer with Stand and Extra 4 Needles (Black)

This wdt tool looks great and works well. It's easy to replace pins if necessary, although I don't see that happening. Does a good job with preventing channeling.

I haven't tried using stirrers before so decided to give this one a shot.It actually works pretty nicely, with couple of practicing tries you'll get use to it and find the perfect amplitude and amount of force, so the grinded coffee doesn't go over the top.I found that after stirring the pressure almost always is optimal and final product has nice amount of crema which obviously gives better and reacher taste.I would recommend any coffee enthusiast give it a try

It's way too big for espresso, look for .3mm or smaller. It was okay till my new one arrived, then this one went straight into the trash.

At first I thought this was fine because I was just getting started with espresso. After using it for a while, I realized that it's pushing the grounds around instead of actually distributing everything evenly due to the parallel needle construction + the needles themselves being rather thick. The workaround I had was to just use it to stab the bed of coffee multiple times to simulate the Porcupress, but it's honestly better to just get a thinner, more fanned out WDT.

El producto funciona muy bien, tiene una manufactura y materiales excelentes. Sin embargo, no traía las cuatro agujas adicionales que se mencionan en la descripción y el detalle del producto.
