Coffee Distribution Tool w/needles, BARISTA

Coffee distribution tool with needles – perfect espresso preparation

The BARISTA coffee distribution tool from Cilio is a professional instrument for the serious coffee enthusiast. With eight fine needles of just 0.4 mm in diameter, it ensures an even distribution of coffee grounds in the portafilter. Made from anodised aluminium and stainless steel, it combines durability with an elegant black design.

Ideal for the home barista who wants to improve the quality of their espresso and avoid uneven extraction.

Precision that delivers better coffee flavour

The fine needles of the coffee distribution tool effectively break up clumps in the ground coffee and remove air pockets that would otherwise cause uneven water flow during extraction – also known as channelling. This is essential for drawing out the full flavour from the coffee beans. Using the tool before tamping gives you an even coffee puck with uniform density, resulting in more balanced extraction and an espresso with a cleaner flavour profile.
