Place the palm distributor over your coffee in your portafilter in a clockwise direction to evenly and consistently distribute your coffee in preparation to start your tamping process.
At -+ 500g, this tool it’s a serious piece of equipment for your barista kit.
With the new design of the palm distributor by Coffee Essentials, no adjusting tools are necessary – we find those little things go missing anyway.
So, is prepping your grinds more important than tamping?
Often when baristas even the puck using their finger, some leave a slight mound or divot in the coffee, which leads to inconsistencies when you tamp down your coffee between shots.
Improper or rushed distribution is likely to channel – which can be disastrous to taste. Micro-channeling also goes unseen, at times leading to inconsistent distribution. The Palm Distributor puts a little more science to your coffee and removes the uneven distribution variable.
The Professional Palm Coffee Distributor – Adjustable 58.5mm features three angled slopes that efficiently, evenly, and consistently move the coffee around in a circular motion to create an even puck.
Nunes aka Noonie –
i never thought this weird thing would make a difference. i still use my normal tamper, but i recon the palm tamper will also make a big difference. i use a bottomless portafilter so i can see how much less channeling there is. fits my basket which i thought was 58mm.
