With its fine, angled metal needles, freshly ground coffee is gently loosened and evenly distributed in the portafilter before tamping.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe so-called \u003cstrong\u003eWeiss Distribution Technique (WDT)\u003c\/strong\u003e helps break up clumps in the grounds and balance out areas of uneven density. This reduces the risk of \u003cstrong\u003echanneling\u003c\/strong\u003e – preventing water from easily finding preferential paths through the coffee puck during extraction. The result is a solid foundation for reproducible and consistent espresso shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated \u003cstrong\u003eslide-open mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly well-thought-out: simply slide open the housing to expose the fine needles for use. After you're finished, they can be fully retracted into the housing. This protects the delicate needles between uses and allows the tool to be stored neatly at your coffee station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleek \u003cstrong\u003ealuminum housing\u003c\/strong\u003e makes the Fellow WDT Tool a premium yet functional addition to any sophisticated espresso setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eApplication\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlide open the housing until the needles are fully exposed. Then, carefully move the needles through the ground coffee in your portafilter to break up clumps until the grounds are as evenly distributed as possible. Follow by tamping as usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, retract the needles completely into the housing. Since these are very fine precision needles, they should be handled with care to prevent bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fellow Espresso WDT Tool is \u003cstrong\u003enot dishwasher safe\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fellow recommends cleaning by hand with soap and a soft sponge. The needles should be cleaned with extra care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a more thorough cleaning, the tool can be disassembled occasionally. Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling.
