- Will this fit my espresso machine?
- It is made for 58mm portafilters, the common size on full-size machines such as the Breville Dual Boiler, Gaggia Classic and most E61 group machines. It will not fit 51mm or 54mm baskets.
- Do I need the WDT tool if I already tamp evenly?
- Yes, they do different jobs. The WDT tool breaks up clumps in the grounds before tamping; the tamper compresses them. Skipping distribution is a common cause of channeling even with a good tamp.
- What does the calibrated tamper actually do?
- A spring inside clicks or gives way at a set pressure, so you press consistently shot after shot instead of guessing. It does not replace level tamping, but it removes one variable.
- Is the puck screen worth using?
- It sits on top of the puck and spreads water more evenly while keeping grounds off the shower screen. The trade-off is rinsing it after each shot and a slightly different basket dose.
- Is this a good starter kit?
- It is a good fit if you already have a 58mm machine and a grinder. Without a decent burr grinder, the tamper and WDT tool cannot fix inconsistent grounds.
- How do I clean the pieces?
- The tamper, WDT tool, funnel and puck screen rinse under warm water; the silicone mat wipes clean. The knock box needs emptying and an occasional wash of its removable bar.
