It's been some time, and here is the newest version to date: V4.1-Pro!
As you all now know, this is a distribution tool to break up the espresso grounds in the basket/portafilter before tamping. It's considered the most essential part of your puck prep now, and probably the most important and interesting espresso accessories you can get. It is designed to emulate the deep WDT action done manually, but it results in much more thorough and consistent result compared to manual WDT. And no, it's not a 🌕raker knockoff. I've been making these since before that!

*58mm version compatibility list:
- ECM, La Marzocco, Slayer, Pesado, Flair 58, Breville, VST, IMS, all E61 group, etc. Basically all 58mm variants.
- Unifilter users should message me separately for a custom fit frame because of its weird shape around the rim and also because magnets don't stick to that particular material.
*54mm version compatibility is for Breville/Sage portafilters with 3 ears.
*55mm LSM version is for La San Marco and ACS portafilters with 3 ears.
*55mm Dalla C is for Dalla Corte 55mm portafilters with 2 ears.

This version is meant to provide some quality of life improvements over V4.0. There were small things that V4.0 could be improved upon that I wanted to address, after a period of receiving feedback from various buyers.

Points that were mentioned regularly included:
1. Magnets are too weak
2. Adjustment range needs to be wider
3. Distribution pushes the coffee bed a bit too outward
4. In some cases, the top part came off a bit too easily
5. Needles are difficult to mount

So for V4.1, the improvements are as follow:
1. Stronger magnets to account for the added weight of the bearings
2. Added adjustment range. Depth can now range from 29mm~14mm
3. Revised the gear configuration so it is more even. (I still think V4.0's gears work well, but this new configuration results in better looking beds and produces the same TDS consistency)
4. Revised the design so that the top part will not come off even if the fitting becomes loose over time
5. (*updated 4/10/2024) Revised the needle mounting holes so it’s now super easy and more secure. just slide them in. Moreover, you can fit thicker or thinner needles all the same.

V4.1 comes in 2 versions: PRO and EVO. PRO version is the one with bearings. EVO version is a budget option that comes without bearings.

Thank you so much always and let me know if you have any question or concern!

*Average processing time is about 1-3 days at the moment.
**Owners of previous versions will get a one-time discount for every new version. Just shoot me a message :-)
