WDT Coffee Stirrer and Espresso Ground Distribution Tool, Professional Barista Distributor with Stainless Steel Stirring Needles, Breaks Up Clumping to Enhance Flavor and Taste (Matte Silver)

Honestly, it was tough to assemble at first - one of the holes that the pins went in wasn't all the way open so I had to get a small nail to help open it up. After that though, everything assembled perfectly and it works perfectly!

Let me start by saying, assembling it was kind of tricky and it's a little top heavy in the holder. Those two things aside, it really is handy for getting out the hot or caked up coffee out the tamper. Really nice when you don't have to burn your fingers or use a toothpick. I filled all the holes to fill up the head. I feel it works better for me. It even comes with extra pins. Also it's fairly easy to keep it tidy as well.

Overall a good WDT tool. The tool comes with the needles in a separate case, and you can insert however many you need into the screw-off part of the handle. The tool and the stand are don't connect in any way, other than simply resting, so does not work as a case if you need to transport the WDT tool. The included spoon is a nice addition, although not really necessary. Overall a good tool that distributes as expected, though it is on the more expensive side.

I've been pleasantly surprised by its performance. The stainless steel stirring needles effectively tackle clumps in espresso grounds, promising a consistent brew. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip during use, and the matte black finish adds a stylish touch to my setup.During my first brews, I noticed a noticeable improvement in flavor and texture. Better distribution ensured an even extraction, resulting in a richer and more nuanced cup of coffee. The tool's build quality instills confidence in its durability.While it's still early in my experience, the Jeolry WDT Coffee Stirrer has made a positive impression, and I'm eager to explore its full potential in my future brewing sessions. A promising start, deserving of a 5-star rating.

I appreciate the effective performance of the Coffee Stirrer and Espresso Ground Distribution Tool. Its simple design efficiently breaks coffee clumps, and the sturdy metal finish adds durability. The weight and aluminum construction give it a robust feel, complemented by stainless steel strings. The inclusion of extra needles and a small stainless spoon is a thoughtful touch. However, the self-assembly requirement and occasional difficulty inserting the stirrer into the base are minor drawbacks. Overall, a reliable tool for coffee enthusiasts

I like using this after the grinds come out of my breville. I do this just before I use the tamper and it seems to have made a positive impact on my espresso. There are additional needles it comes with, and you do have to assemble it before use. But it’s very easy to put together and you can choose how many needles you would like to use. I used all of the needles but I may try using it without the one on the middle. It’s built well, has a nice look to it, and is Just the right size.

This is the first WDT tool I've used so I don't have much in the way of points of comparison. This tool distributes coffee effectively, the weight and shape feel nice in the hand, and it looks nice. The thing that lets it down is the build quality and quality control which at this price point is disappointing.Functionally the coffee was distributed effectively and I didn't observe channeling. I like that there are many holes and you can set it up to use as many or as few of those as you want, since that'll allow for tuning over time and with different beans and grind sizes. The .35mm diameter and extra replacement needles are a nice touch, and the stand is reasonably solid and doesn't seem prone to tipping over. That said, the unit I received had a manufacturing defect where 1 of the holes was entirely blocked and another was partially blocked. I was able to open up the holes by scraping a sewing pin into the wider end of the hole. (Pic attached of the "before" state to show what I'm talking about). Some chalky dust came out of the hole while I was cleaning it as well so I'd heavily suggest washing this thoroughly before first use. I tested to see whether the tines would damage the basket over time by taking 1 of them and scraping it against the bottom repeatedly - no damage occurred which was great.Aesthetically, its "matte silver" finish is a notably different than most of the other tools I've got which are stainless steel. Finish is consistent and looks good on its own, but if you're looking for something that matches your other espresso tools this probably won't. Pic attached that shows both finish and size in comparison to a stainless steel frothing jug. The stand makes it look nice and tidy when not in use. Major bonus points for not putting branding on the surface of the tool as well.

Solidly built. I like that the tool fits comfortably into it's holder without having to bend the needles. Setup was easy too by just unscrewing the base and inserting the needles. Used it for the first time, and had no issues at all. The spoon and extra needles were an added bonus.
