Verdict
š¢ Lab Approved
After testing multiple WDT tools, this is the one that earned a permanent place on our coffee bench.
It has now replaced our previous daily-use WDT and will be the benchmark that future WDTs are evaluated against.
What We Liked
- Excellent coffee distribution.
- Comfortable to use every day.
- Adjustable needles.
- Good weight and overall build quality.
- Magnetic stand.
Things to Know
The initial assembly is a little more involved than some alternatives, and we'd make a few design tweaks if we were manufacturing our own version. However, none of these affected its performance or changed our daily workflow once assembled.
Note: In negotiation with the manufacturer, we were able to have the WDT supplied pre-assembled, removing one of the biggest drawbacks we identified during our original testing.
Would We Recommend It?
Yes.
This is the WDT we now use every day. If we were buying again today, this is the one we'd choose.
