BE YOUR OWN BARISTA
In espresso, puck prep is everything.
It makes the difference between a sour, astringent shot and one that is brimming with sweetness and complexity. Why? An espresso puck needs 9 bars (130 PSI) of pressure with every brew, so any imperfections – like lopsided distribution or channeling – can quickly ruin the extraction.
Creating the perfectly dialed espresso puck can also be tricky. That's where the Timemore PUCKS Espresso Accessory Set comes in, an organized, 3-step process to help you pull consistently delicious espresso shots, every single time. No barista training required.
A Three-Tool System That Actually Works
The Timemore PUCKS Espresso Accessory Set comes with the Orbital WDT Tool (fluffer), Gravity Distributor (leveler), and Calibrated Tamper (finisher), covering all the bases required to create and recreate the perfect espresso shot.
Plus, the Accessory Set comes with a stylish display mat to keep your workflow clear and organized. With wood or black aluminum handles and polished stainless-steel bases, Timemore PUCKS elevates any coffee counter with a clean, minimalist design.Step 1: The WDT Tool
The WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) is essential for redistributing coffee grounds once they're piled into your portafilter, breaking up dense little pockets and thick clumps that would otherwise create perfect channels for water to escape.
The Timemore Orbital WDT Tool is equipped with 8 ultra-fine 0.3mm needles to evenly fluff and distribute coffee grounds with precision.
Designed with user-experience in mind, the Orbital WDT Tool is both satisfying to use and comfortable, with round wood or aluminum handles to fit naturally in your hand. It also fits seamlessly over 58mm portafilter baskets to prevent spilled coffee grounds and messy counters. No dosing funnel necessary.Step 2: The Gravity Distributor
Once your espresso bed has been properly declumped and distributed, the next step is ensuring that the surface is smooth and even.
The Timemore Gravity Distributor incorporates intuitive, user-friendly features like a symmetric “snowflake” design for its base, a perfectly weighted shaft, and automatic levelling to self adjust to the height of your coffee bed.
Simply give it a few twists of the bidirectional handle and lift to reveal a perfectly flat bed of espresso.Step 3: The Calibrated Tamper
Last but not least, a tamper is used to condense the coffee bed into a puck that provides just the right level resistance to your espresso machine's pressure, resulting in the rich texture and silky crema that we all love.
Traditional – or manual – tamping requires years of training and barista experience to perfect… not to mention the sore wrists suffered by anyone who has worked behind the bar. The Timemore PUCKS Calibrated Tamper bypasses all of that with a palm-press design and tactile “spring mechanism” that clicks into place, ensuring consistency between every shot while eliminating the guesswork (and wrist pain) from manual tamping.
The Calibrated Tamper applies an even 30lbs of pressure with every use, and when paired with Timemore’s WDT Tool and Gravity Distributor, it gives you consistent, barista-quality results with every single espresso shot. -
