Timemore's products are carefully designed and manufactured according to professional standards, offering coffee enthusiasts high-end functionality paired with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Founded in Shanghai in 2012 by a team of mechanical engineers and industrial designers, the brand follows a strict "design-first" philosophy. Its mission, to infuse everyday brewing rituals with well-crafted, elegant tools, has resonated with competitive baristas and casual home brewers alike. This focused approach has earned Timemore numerous accolades, including global design awards and spots on international coffee competition stages.

As many espresso enthusiasts are aware, dialling in your puck preparation can save you from an otherwise frustrating brewing experience. If there are any clumps or air pockets in your coffee bed, water will find the path of least resistance and channel through, leaving you with an uneven extraction. While manual Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) stirring reduces channelling, it can be inconsistent and typically requires a separate dosing collar to contain errant grounds. Timemore has elegantly addressed this issue with the Autospin WDT Tool, which automatically distributes your ground coffee when placed on top of a portafilter, significantly reducing human error and limiting channelling.

About the Timemore Autospin WDT Tool

Engineered specifically for standard 58mm straight-walled filter baskets, the Timemore Autospin features twelve ultra-fine 0.3mm needles that automatically run through a bidirectional, 'planetary' pattern of distribution - mimicking how planets rotate while orbiting the sun. The Autospin is powered by a small but silent motor that alternates its orbital direction from clockwise to anti-clockwise, effectively standardising bed density without creating uneven peaks. With contact-activated automatic operation and zero buttons, this WDT tool delivers highly repeatable, hands-free puck preparation.

The Autospin features a hidden contact switch that is activated the moment it touches your portafilter and stops as you lift it away. This espresso accessory has a 500mAh USB-C rechargeable battery that runs for over 2,000 cycles on a single charge. It includes six spare needles, ensuring a bent or worn needle won't take the Autospin out of your rotation. Combine this tool with the Timemore Impulse Impact Tamper to prepare more consistent pucks and pull more consistent shots.

Please note that the Timemore Autospin WDT Tool is only compatible with 58mm portafilters using straight-walled espresso baskets.
