Normcore WDT Distribution Tool with Stand V3-9 Prong Needle Espresso Stirrer - 18 Needles 0.25mm / 0.3mm Thick Spring Wires - Weiss Distribution Technique - Anodized Aluminum Handle

This is the best wdt tool I've used. It's solid, has a good stand, and the angled prongs make a big difference. I regret having bought cheaper less effective ones first. Go for this one from the start.

My fitst WDT tool - I have gone with Normcore for all my accesories and this is sturdy and well made. I just wish the stand was magnetic so could put on my machine.

Fantastic little tool. The stand is a MUST. If you leave your WDT tool laying on its side the needles will permanently bend. The stand prevents this. The needle sizes are also very good.

We had a cheaper WDT before this one, having not been convinced it would really make that much difference to the coffee taste. But when the last one broke I invested in this one, as we've realised that the Normcore brand products tend to be superior quality and are worth the extra money, and I've been blown away but how much better the coffee tastes. You have to insert the prongs into the device yourself but this is very easy just don't be too rough as you don't want to damage the prongs. One swish of this around the coffee grinds before depressing with your chosen tool and you'll really increase your coffee game.

This is such a great addition to our coffee making set up. While the set up was a little tricky, to get all the prongs pointing the right way and get them all tightened. Once you get the nack it’s easy to do the rest. This is such a great to for using to distribute my coffee before tampering and definitely improves the flavour. I love the little stand that it comes with and when I occasionally bend a prong, it’s easy to take one of the spares and replace it.

It'd be easy to look at this tool and think that it's overpriced. However, if you know enough about espresso to know about WDT, you have probably already heard the phrase "buy once, cry once". I did try and cheap out with more affordable WDT tools but I didn't have the same success that I did with Normcore's tool. Sure, it requires some assembly but all of the ones I tried did, but the Normcore's twisty top makes inserting and removing needles a breeze. I'm also a big fan of the stand. I don't like magnets or metal on metal because it'll eventually scuff. I feel like the padded arms give the tool a much better chance of surviving scuffs. This tool is the unsung hero in my coffee prep line-up.

Great product and easy to assemble

This equally distributes the coffee grounds really well and separates the coffee before brewing. It's not essential to have and I'd probably say that I do not notice a significant difference in taste, however it's still a nice experience when making my coffee in the mornings.
