Product Details
Grounds clump as they leave the grinder, and uneven density in the basket is where channelling starts. A WDT tool breaks those clumps up before you tamp, so water moves through the puck evenly. Eight fine stainless steel needles stir through the dose as you rotate the tool by hand. Between shots it parks on its magnetic stand, needles hanging clear of the bench. It works in any portafilter, and on pour-over grounds in a paper filter too.

Good quality and works for De'Longhi ECP3420.
It's like in the picture. It's heavy and okay to use. The tip of the brush isn't blunt, so it's a bit rough when cleaning, but the quality is good and it's fine.
The craftsmanship is excellent, highly recommended. The craftsmanship is excellent, highly recommended!!!!!!!!
For the price it's ok, although mine came with poorly tipped needles, but that was easy to fix with a file.
Excellent product! It meets expectations and is of good quality. I recommend it.
Really good solid quality. Attaches to the stands using a magnet. I’m very happy with my purchase would highly recommend.
Magnet is a little loose
All metal build, just the right amount of magnetic force. the stand is all metal too. perhaps the base of the stand could be just a touch more heavy to keep it from moving around when using the wdt.
Excellent for breaking up clumps in espresso or moka pot coffee.
Excellent, honestly, the quality is really good, just like the picture. I highly recommend it.
Works well at first i was sceptical about this little tool. But really assist in the espresso process. I like that it it magnetic and therefore convenient. It does not adjust ratio which is fine for me.
Works great.
More sturdy than i anticipated. The magnetism is pretty strong, and the needles themselves are secure. Nice, sleek color, just a bit more lightweight than i was expecting.
For the price is great. Very useful item for puck prep
Very good product with great finishing. Great WDT!! !
