Product Description Introducing the ARO® WDT Tool v1 with Stand. Break up clumps, eliminate channeling, and increase extraction with the ultimate tool for performing the Weiss Distribution Technique. Uniquely crafted with quality and style, this tool is designed to enhance the consistency of your espresso extractions, regardless of your technique or portafilter size. Effortlessly assemble the tool by unscrewing the pin holder with the provided key, inserting up to 9 pins, and reassembling. In just a few moments, you'll be grooming your grounds to perfection. Once finished, conveniently drop the WDT Tool into the self-aligning stand to store it away for the next use! Key Features Precision Machined Aluminum Handle: Durable, scratch-resistant anodized matte finish provides a high-quality feel and modern aesthetic. Sturdy, Self-Aligning Stand: Equipped with an easy-to-clean catch tray and embedded weights for stability, finished in matte black to match the WDT Tool. Ergonomic and Efficient Design: Contoured handle for a comfortable grip, enhancing the functionality with a one-of-a-kind look. Flared pins slice through clumps for an efficient distribution. Replaceable Stainless Steel Pins: Both 0.35mm and 0.25mm diameters available for the ideal balance of flex and rigidity to break up clumps. Flat-Tipped Pins: Custom made for safety to prevent accidental pokes and protect your portafilter basket from scratches. Pin Options and Suggestions 0.35mm: Versatile pins that are rigid enough to efficiently break up dense clumps without pushing grounds around. Ideal for lower-end grinders prone to creating numerous dense clumps. 0.25mm: The thinnest pins available, perfect for delicately breaking up small clumps and fluffing grounds. Ideal for higher-end grinders with large, flat burrs. 0.35mm and 0.25mm: Can't decide? Try them both! Includes both diameters with dedicated pin inserts for each size. Pin Quantity: Choose either 10x or 20x pins. The tool can hold up to 9 pins, so by purchasing 20x, you'll have plenty of spares. We highly recommend ordering extras, especially the 0.25mm pins. If you want more, you can purchase them here. What's in the Box?
