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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/portafilters-filter-baskets\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Buy a portafilter\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eportafilter\u003c\/a\u003e, significantly reducing human error and limiting channelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Timemore Autospin WDT Tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Autospin features a hidden contact switch that is activated the moment it touches your portafilter and stops as you lift it away.
