Description

When grounds sit in clumps in the portafilter, water finds the loose side first and one part of the shot runs ahead of the rest. Tamping straight onto an uneven bed seals in the problem.

This palm distributor rests on the basket and twists across the grounds. Three angled slopes underneath push coffee into the gaps and level the surface, so your tamp starts on an even bed and the shot pulls more steadily.

Choose 51, 53 or 58 mm to match your basket. Set the depth so the base just touches the coffee, give it a few turns, then tamp as usual.

Materials & Care
A palm distributor with an adjustable-depth base, sized to the basket you choose. Coffee oil builds up on the base over time, so wipe it after every session and keep the tool dry between uses.
Shipping & Returns
Complimentary standard shipping to the United States and United Kingdom, with no minimum spend. Orders are prepared within 1–3 business days. US delivery is typically 5–10 business days after dispatch, UK 6–10 business days.

Even bed, steadier shot

Even bed, steadier shot

Uneven coffee in the basket leaves thin spots where water rushes through. The three angled slopes sweep grounds sideways as you twist, breaking up clumps and filling low areas. Once the surface is flat, your tamp presses down on a consistent layer instead of locking in the dips.

A distributor that is too small misses the edges, and one that is too big will not fit at all. Choose the diameter that matches your portafilter basket, then adjust the depth to your usual dose so the base contacts the coffee without digging in.
