A spin distributor with a helical base that spreads espresso grounds sideways across the basket, leaving an even bed ready to tamp.
Grounds rarely land flat in the basket, and any uneven patch gives water an easy route through. The Twister’s base is shaped in a helix, so as you turn it, it moves coffee sideways rather than pressing it down. That evens out the bed and leaves the real compression to your tamp. The base is hand-finished, high-grade stainless steel, which EDO says means less static build-up.
It suits you if your shots are inconsistent and you want a quick, repeatable step before tamping. It locks onto the filter holder, measures 80mm across the outside with a 74mm inner diameter, and EDO lists it for machines including La Marzocco, Rancilio, Quality Espresso and ECM. It works left or right-handed and comes in pink, grey, black, green and red.
Tip: a distributor evens the top of the bed, but clumps lower down can stay put. If you still see channelling, stir with a WDT tool first, then spin.
