MADBALL Spirographic Coffee WDT Tool - Picopresso

MADBALL - We refine the elegance of functionality

Introducing the MADBALL Spirographic WDT Tool - Picopresso, a high-end spirographic espresso distribution device that takes your coffee experience to the next level. We've meticulously optimized every detail, from precisely engineered gear ratios and pin placements to a mechanism that effortlessly spins with the touch of a finger. Enhance your espresso ritual with unparalleled consistency in every extraction. Achieving perfectly fluffed and evenly distributed espresso baskets is just a few spins away.

Incorporating a quick geometry lesson, hypotrochoids and epitrochoids are curves formed by tracing a point attached to a circle rolling along the inside or outside of a fixed circle, respectively. Spirographs leverage this concept to craft mesmerizing geometric patterns.

The MADBALL Spirographic WDT Tool - Picopresso employs 8 x, 0.35mm diameter pins to trace numerous hypotrochoids and epitrochoids through the clumpy espresso in your Picopresso portafilter basket. This mechanical motion swiftly distributes and fluffs the grounds, ensuring consistency regardless of the hour.

With a groundbreaking gear design, the MADBALL Spirographic WDT Tool efficiently mixes, distributes, and fluffs the grounds in your portafilter in just few spins. Four distinct gears collaborate seamlessly for optimal performance. The two big gear moves the pins back and forth across the basket, scrambling and mixing the grounds. The medium gear whirls around the entire basket, effortlessly slicing through any clumps in its path. The small gear pushes and pulls the grounds near the edge, ensuring complete basket coverage and impeccable distribution.

The MADBALL Spirographic WDT Tool comes complete with a convenient portable storage bag, perfect for coffee aficionados on the move. Whether you're embarking on a weekend camping trip or jet-setting to your favorite coffee destination, this sleek and durable bag ensures that your Picopresso and accessories are securely stowed away, ready to accompany you on your espresso-making adventures.

Additionally, the Picopresso's base serves a dual purpose as a drainage base, ingeniously designed to facilitate the drying process. Simply rest your Picopresso on top of the base after use, and let gravity do the work as any residual moisture drains away. This thoughtful feature not only helps maintain the integrity of your Picopresso but also ensures that it's always primed and ready for your next espresso-making session.

The Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) is a distribution method for espresso making. Using a fine needle or similar tool, by stirring the coffee while it sits in the portafilter. The stirring action breaks up any clumps, and evens out the density of coffee within the puck. The result is reduced channelling, and higher, more even extractions.

NOTE
While our instructional materials demonstrate one-finger rotation as a method of use, it's important to acknowledge that individual experiences may vary. The magnetic strength of the tool can be influenced by the diversity of portafilter and basket designs in the market, potentially affecting the ease of rotation. Therefore, we recommend exploring alternative techniques, such as the two-hand method or utilizing your thumb to stabilize the tool while rotating it with one finger, to achieve optimal results based on your specific setup.
