Timemore Pucks Orbital Needle Distributor WDT Tool w Stand 58:4mm: Maple Wood
The Timemore Orbital WDT Tool – Wood turns messy, clumpy doses into even, perfectly distributed coffee beds. Its dual-bearing rotation and needle-fine precision make puck prep feel smooth, clean, and satisfying. If you’ve ever pulled a shot that looked right but tasted wrong, this is the missing step. Level up your workflow or complete your setup now.
From Clumpy Grounds to Perfect Pucks
If your espresso shots are channelling, spurting, or tasting inconsistent, uneven distribution is likely the culprit. The Orbital WDT Tool solves this by stirring and loosening your coffee grounds with surgical precision. The result? A dense, even puck that resists channelling and extracts evenly, shot after shot.

How does a WDT tool improve my espresso?
A WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool stirs and distributes coffee grounds after dosing, breaking up clumps and evening out density. This leads to smoother extractions and less channeling.
-
Is this compatible with all espresso machines?
It’s designed for use with standard 58mm portafilters and baskets — common in most prosumer and commercial espresso machines.
-
What’s the benefit of the dual-bearing design?
The dual bearings provide a smooth, frictionless spin, reducing wrist strain and allowing the tool to rotate evenly through the coffee bed.
-
Can I upgrade to the full Timemore PUCKS Set later?
Yes! This tool is one-third of the complete Timemore PUCKS Set – Wood, which also includes a calibrated tamper and a gravity-fed distributor for consistent preparation.

Why Choose the Timemore Orbital WDT Tool – Wood
Unlike basic WDT tools, the Timemore Orbital features dual bearings for smooth 360° rotation, ultra-fine 0.3mm needles for deeper reach, and a magnetic resting base for a clean, organised workflow. The beautiful maple wood finish doesn’t just look good, it feels balanced and deliberate in the hand.
How It Works
- Insert the tool into your portafilter after dosing.
- Gently stir in a circular motion — the 0.3mm needles break up clumps and level the bed.
- Let the dual bearings do the work — smooth, resistance-free rotation distributes evenly.
- Place it back onto the magnetic base until your next shot.
Maintenance & Best Practices
- Clean the needles with a soft brush or compressed air — avoid bending or soaking.
- Store the tool on its magnetic base to protect the tips and maintain hygiene.
- Use spare needles if any bend or dull over time — replacements included.
