MORE EVEN PUCK PREPARATION – The rotating needle path helps break up clumps, redistribute grounds and reduce dense areas around the center and edges before tamping
STEPLESS DEPTH CONTROL – Rotate the adjustment section to change how deeply the needles enter the coffee bed, accommodating different basket depths and espresso doses
60 REPLACEMENT NEEDLES INCLUDED – CNC-machined from 304 stainless steel, anodized aluminum and brass. Includes 30 × 0.25mm needles, 30 × 0.3mm needles and one installation tool

Unlock the full potential of your espresso shots with the Normcore V3 Planetary Needle Distributor Tool. Unlike traditional WDT tools, this innovative design features 15 ultra-fine needles arranged in 5 independently rotating groups that orbit the basket—creating a true 3D stirring pattern.

As the tool descends into the portafilter, each needle group spins and sweeps across the coffee bed, breaking up clumps, eliminating air pockets, and ensuring deep, even distribution. The result? A denser, more uniform puck that resists channeling and delivers consistent, flavorful extractions.

Designed for serious baristas and enthusiasts, the V3 offers stepless depth control, a solid CNC-machined body, and includes 60 spare needles for extended use.
