Press, Stir, Even Shots
Clumpy grounds can cause channeling, messy prep, and uneven extractions. The iKape Beacon fixes this with eight evenly spaced needles that break up coffee cubes with a gentle stir.
Built by IKAPE, this handheld tool stores its needles inside the body, then pops them out at the press of a button. Twist the bottom knob to fine-tune the needle angle for your basket and routine.
From grind to shot, the workflow is simple. Press to extend the needles, set your basket on the bench or in a cradle, then lightly stir to break up clumps. Rotate the base to adjust the needle angle if needed. Retract the needles, dock the tool in the silicone base, and pull your shot.
