Subminimal Flick WDT Espresso Distribution Tool - Barista-Grade Precision Brewing - Barista Tamper with Retractable Needles - Coffee and Espresso Machine Parts and Accessories

This a really good product for any budding home barista. It is really easy to use and is very solid and well built for the price. It is functional and just the right weight without been too heavy/light. It has really improved my puck preparation and my espresso massively! I also really like the little storage/magnet which comes with both adhesive pads and magnets for flexibility. Highly recommend.

The Flick is absolutely brilliant! For sure the best WDT tool I’ve used. The needles are distributed in a way that both breaks down the clumps in the portafilter but also spread the grounds evenly. I love the magnet it comes with too; it’s currently attached to the side of my machine. I’d highly recommend!

This really is a fantastic WDT... I'm serious about espresso at home and your set up is weak without a good WDT. The Subminimal Flick has a lovely weight to it. The design is just awesome, the button press to release the needles and the flick action to retract them is so cool. The needle depth is brilliant, it can reach to the bottom of the basket with ease and it doesn't flex when breaking up the coffee grounds which is nice as some can feel a bit weak when in use. This isn't just a gadget with a unique selling point in the flick action. This is a great value for money tool that you absolutely need in your home if you're serious about espresso. I'll be recommending this to anyone that asks about my workflow.

I use this mainly for coffee I have ground previously and stored in an air tight container. I find if you loosen the coffee before tamping in the portafilter the shot expresses a lot more evenly resulting in a lot better shot. This gadget has a nice feature in that it has a magnetic pad you can attach in a convenient location near you espresso machine so you can safely stow it away until the next time The retractable prongs are the main reason I bought this as I when my fixed prong one falls and rolls away it usually deforms the prongs and its a pain to keep on straitening them. this is a five star product any day of the week although a bit pricey

Ive been using a cheap WDT since I got my first espresso machine. It was OK but after reading more about the importance of puck prep, I realised that my WDT wasn't actually doing much at all. Read reviews for the Subminimal Flick and decided to give it a go. The difference between this and the cheap / generic one is HUGE! Any lumps are broken down much much better and the puck is almost level when you're done. With the old one, I had to intentionally level out the fines. It's also a faster process.

Pros: looks good, build quality is great, extra set of needles, space saver design Cons: there’s no needle in the centre which makes the process longer. Needle thickness is 0.5 which is less flexible and not the best 0.35-.4 works the best, needle material is not stainless steel. Coffee would stick to the needles and when you retract it would add to cleaning time.

Not only is this tool strong and productive, but it’s beyond satisfying and fun to use. The magnetic aspect makes it handy to put it nearby and easy to grab. I’m very happy and would highly recommend this WDT tool for any coffee nerd looking to improve their brewing equipment.

It’s worth it. It breaks up and distributes the coffee powder ready for tamping. Makes for a more consisttamp and therefore more consistent coffee .

So I have quite a few WDT tools and I really didn’t need another one, but this was priced relatively affordably. Normally you pay around $10, and this is x 3 the price, but I’ve had a good experience with most of Subminimal products and I thought I’ll try this out. This comes with slightly thicker stock needles, but they give you three extra pairs of needles ( actually hairpin style ones) which are a little thick and can be replaced with included tool and a Philips screw driver, which I did immediately because the included needles on the device are too thick. The needles are actually a curved hairpin style, so you can’t pull them out like regular WDT It’s really well made , it has a magnetic design , I found the magnetic puck mechanism inside while changing the stock needles -that helps it to flick out on a button, press and flick in when you just turned it upside down and it’s really satisfying to use. I see what people mean when it’s a really good fidget spinner kind of relaxation tool. In addition they give you a magnet that you can stick on the wall, a very well made heavy stand and the device itself is magnetic. So you really don’t need these attachments, but they give them to you ,anyway And it’s all in a nice presentation box. So this will be an excellent gift for somebody who is down the Coffee rabbit hole because it’s made really well and works well.

وصلني مع عيب في زر الادخال مو شغال ويحتوي على صوت بالداخل كأن فيه شي مكسور وطبعاً هذا صوت الرخص معروف، ما انصح فيه بحكم تجربتي السيئة وحتى لو وصلني سليم ما استبعد بعد يوم يومين يخرب بيتم طلب الارجاع وبكل فخر وامتنان

Etwas zu teuer mMn. Nadeln könnten dünner sein, funktioniert dennoch ganz gut. Der Komfort ist super!

This is an awesome gadget. Sure it breaks up any clumping and distributes the coffee nicely like a WDT should. What I really love is the retractability and that I can hang it magnetically. The build quality is very nice and the compact size is a plus. This works well and I am very pleased with my purchase.

agitateur à café pour expresso remplissant sans faille son office. il est de conception robuste, permet de bien distribuer le café pour une bonne homogénéité et la rétractabilité des aiguilles permet de les protéger sans problème et de l'amener partout. Je le couple à ma nanospresso que j'emmène partout pour me préparer de succulents expressos partout dès que je me déplace. Et de retour chez moi, il est rangé sur son socle.
