iKape Double Bearing Coffee Distributor 51mm: Black
The iKape Double Bearing Coffee Distributor 51mm helps you level your puck fast, with light, smooth spins. Ideal for home baristas chasing consistent shots with 51mm baskets. Learn how it works below, then add it to cart when ready.
Fast, Smooth Spins, Consistent Pucks
This distributor tackles uneven beds and channelling by giving you a flat, even surface every time. The newly upgraded structure of the espresso distributor uses two bearings so it rotates with less effort and stays true as you spin.
IKAPE adds a magnetic levitation balance ring, so the head feels like it floats. It guides the tool to skim the surface without compressing the bed before tamping.
Place the distributor on your 51mm basket after dosing and WDT. Set it flat, then rotate a few times in either direction until the surface looks even. The nine-section base works clockwise or counterclockwise and resists grounds sticking. Remove the tool, then tamp and pull your shot.
