Product Information

Make sure you follow the guidelines for brewing espresso with your coffee machine to avoid damaging the coffee grounds basket in mint condition. Portafilters

WDT, or Weiss Distribution Technique, is a method of evenly distributing the coffee grounds in the portafilter basket. This technique involves using a fine needle to stir the coffee grounds, ensuring that they are evenly distributed and free of clumps.Theoretically, I can see how it should disperse the water more evenly. However, it’s difficult to predict how the water actually flows inside the basket when it’s under pressure. Stainless steel filters are on the surface very similar to Aeropress steek filters. However, they have a smaller diameter and are designed to fit your basket. They offer a couple of advantages over mesh filters:

The ability to increase extraction with a paper filter is an interesting find and worth exploring for home baristas. We see this time and time again the coffee industry ‘steals’ ideas and concepts from the wine industry. So, similar to wine-tasting glasses, there are tasting cups for coffee, ideal to taste coffee and identify unique features of different coffee beans.Distributors are equally important and will help you spread the coffee grounds more evenly and enjoy better coffee. A steam wand spray removes finer particles from the filter’s surface. You can just steam it in a milk pitcher with your espresso machine. A faster flow rate means you can grind finer. Grinding finer will increase your extraction. Higher extraction theoretically leads to more flavor in your shot. I say “theoretically” because more extraction can mean more bitter compounds, but generally, people prefer higher extraction.

Some people think they are less efficient at dispersing the water stream than the mesh filters and more prone to channeling. First, the effect of straining out the oils, lipids, and heavier fines. This improves clarity and makes for a perceived sweeter shot, as discussed earlier. Best of all, paper filters can be thrown away with your ground coffee, so they don’t add any maintenance. The third change with a paper filter is cleanliness. I have less spraying on my bottomless portafilter using a paper filter. I love bottomless filters to see the flow and easier cleaning, but the spraying is constant issues. Many consumer espresso machines, like Breville, are set to high pressure, which inevitably causes spraying. The more even flow of a paper filter greatly reduces this spraying. Replace the screen: If the screen becomes damaged or heavily corroded, it's important to replace it to ensure the quality of your espresso.It’s useful to have them both IMO, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you need to break the bank and buy the most expensive ones. Go ahead and read about how to clean an espresso filter basket easily. Coffee grounds Baskets No matter how well you did your tampering, if the coffee basket is damaged (which happens due to excessive usage or when not following the best practices the manufacturers recommend). As a result, the water finds the easiest way to run through the coffee grounds and (as you might have guessed it) this leads to espresso channelling. The pre-infusion will mostly solve this problem by dumping a small amount of water at a low pressure on the coffee bed, before the extraction. However, the water will still pour in streams from the shower head, and there are still a lot of chances to get channeling.
