A pen-sized WDT tool with needles that click out when you need them and flick back in, so nothing sharp is left exposed on the counter.
WDT means stirring the grounds in your basket with fine needles so they sit evenly and water can’t find an easy path through. One click pushes the Flick’s needles out, and a flick of the wrist pulls them back in using a magnetic mechanism. The body is matte anodised aluminium, 110mm long and 48g, and the 42mm needles are stainless steel.
It suits a home espresso setup where tools live out on the counter and you’d rather not leave bare needles lying around. It ships with 0.5mm needles fitted, plus finer 0.35mm replacements and a hex key to swap them over. A stand and a magnetic wall mount come with it, and you get access to a masterclass on using it.
Tip: stir right down to the bottom of the basket in small circles, working outwards, then tap the portafilter gently to settle the surface before you tamp.
