Frequently Asked Questions

What is a WDT tool and why do I need one?

A WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool helps break up clumps in ground coffee to ensure even water flow and better espresso extraction. It’s especially useful when using fine espresso grinds that can clump due to static.

How do I use this Tai Chi WDT Tool properly?

Simply place it over your portafilter basket and rotate 2–3 times. The 7-pin layout breaks up clumps and redistributes grounds evenly with minimal effort.

Which filter baskets does this work with?

The tool includes two needle sets—41mm (for 22g baskets) and 39mm (for 18g baskets). You can easily swap them depending on your portafilter size.

Can I clean the tool easily?

Yes, it’s fully detachable for easy cleaning. We recommend rinsing and wiping dry after use to keep the needles sharp and rust-free.

Will this work for beginners?

Absolutely. The rotating design with built-in bearing makes it easy for anyone to use—no experience required.
