00:00Are people blowing money on these tiny coffee rakes for emotional support?
00:03Or are they the kind of coffee accessory that actually levels up your coffee game?
00:08Welcome back to The Coffee Lab, the series dedicated to discovering what's actually
00:11important when it comes to your daily brew. This is a WDT tool. Yes, it looks like a medieval
00:17torture device, but it's actually used to distribute coffee grounds evenly. So these
00:22needles separate and evenly distribute the ground coffee in your portafilter basket.
00:27Even distribution means no channeling, and channeling is when the water pools in the weak
00:32spots in your puck. Some grounds get overextracted while some grounds are underextracted. You don't
00:38want this to happen. But I'm going to upset a lot of snobs and say I don't think you need
00:43a WDT tool.
00:44If you want to upgrade from a normal coffee drinker to a coffee connoisseur, then you may as well get
00:49one, even if it's maybe the teeniest bit performative. This iCopay one is a nice one,
00:55it's about $50 but you can find them for as low as about $20. Where do you stand on WDT?
01:01I've got
01:01loads more niche coffee here to test so stay tuned for more from The Coffee Lab.
