Description
xPrecision crafted for the barista in you
The Normcore WDT Distribution Tool V3 is designed with the discerning home brewer and busy café in mind. Built around a robust anodized aluminum CNC body and a 9-prong stainless steel needle matrix, this tool helps break up clumps and guide coffee grounds into a more even bed before tamping. The result is a steadier canvas for extraction, with the potential to reveal a smoother, more nuanced espresso profile that reveal subtle aromas and textures.
Real-world use and sensory appeal
In daily routines, the lightweight design rests naturally in the hand, while the magnet on the handle top provides a convenient resting spot on your machine between shots. The premium 304 stainless needles resist sticking and bending, and the 50 mm wire length dives into the portafilter with minimal splash, helping you feel confident during setup and tamping.
Materials and build that endure
The needles are premium-grade 304 stainless steel for rust resistance and long-term reliability. The handle is machined from anodized aluminum, delivering a sturdy feel without excess weight. At 3.54 inches in total length, the tool stays compact and unobtrusive in both home kitchens and professional setups.

Unlike tools tethered to a single filter or brand, the Normcore WDT Tool works across brands and not limited by filter size. Its universal approach makes it easy to experiment with different grind sizes and doses, inviting you to explore what each shot can reveal about your coffee.
