First post for a while! Was after this for my new Barista Express.

  • 53mm Adjustable Distributor & Tamper-53mm base designed to work with the tapered Breville 54mm portafilter baskets, including the Barista Express, Pro, Touch, Bambino Plus, Infuser and Duo-Temp Pro.
  • Consistent Brew- Get consistent distribution and pressure every time making it easy to pull your perfect shot right at home, Levelling your grounds before tamping creates a uniform and consistent tamp.
  • Adjustable Depth - Set your desired tamping depth for consistent tamping pressure every time.
  • Dual Head- Distributor/Leveller and tamper are designed in one, double sides are available.
  • Pro Tips-Ensure your portafilter basket is fully dosed with coffee grinds to get the right amount of pressure from the tamper for a tighter pack and richer flavour. * For best results, groom the top of the basket with a finger or flat edge before levelling and tamping.
  • Brew with good, filtered water.

    Get a WDT tool. This only distributes the top third of your basket. You’ll thank me later. I own one and it sits in my drawer now.

      Ezebesta WDT Tool Coffee Grounds… https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09T6568Z9 I just got this wdt tool, pretty good.

      Use a skewer.

        also paper clip

      • [Deactivated] on 07/11/2022 - 08:57

        This, much cheaper and does exactly the same thing.

          I used to think this and used that or a paperclip for years. Then I 3D printed one that uses acupuncture needles and it works way, way better. Like they're both the same for just mixing stuff up and removing clumps, but very narrow needles work noticeably better for the final distribution.

      I agree. This more or less only useful as leveller, but the tamp often doesnt reach deep enough

    • ajbee on 07/11/2022 - 08:53

      Cant I just use a toothpick?

      • junkmark on 07/11/2022 - 09:20

        Better than nothing (or the thing for sale here) not as good as something with really narrow needles.

    • TK Deadwalker on 07/11/2022 - 10:34

      Hi everyone, I am curious to know if anyone has used any dosing cups for the Barista Express and if they can share their experience using them.

      This discussion has got me thinking maybe I should get a WDT tool instead (I've been using a toothpick this whole time).

      My thinking is that with a dosing cup you can shake the grinds enough so there is no need to use a WDT tool as the clumps will break by shaking.

      Thanks

        WDT isn't only, or even mainly, about breaking the clumps, it's also using it to distribute (that's the D in WDT!). Take a look at what James Hoffman is doing here https://youtu.be/xb3IxAr4RCo?t=1172 he breaks the clumps but when he's done everything is evenly distributed.

    I've had a barista express for about 4 years and never had an issue with levelling or inconsistent pressure , and I just using the tamper that comes with the machine. For me something like this takes away from the appeal of a manual machine. It's a bit like buying a manual car and then asking a mechanic to install an automatic gearbox :)

    I wonder how many negative votes I'll get for this?

    • AustriaBargain on 07/11/2022 - 09:10

      I'd love one of those automatic espresso machines. I love driving automatics too; the computer in the car can change gears faster than I ever could, and I can't play Doodle Jump and drive if my left hand is on the gearstick.

      Good insights. Negged for snark.

    • junkmark on 07/11/2022 - 09:19

      Do you have a naked portafilter? If you don't how do you know you don't have an issue with levelling and distribution?

  • OzBestDeal on 07/11/2022 - 09:22
    +2

    The "distributor" part is a bit questionable, but the "tamper" part is quite good.
    Once it's set up, I got fairly consistent tamping.

    I use separate wdt tool as well, prior to distribute and tamp with this tool.

  • SpicyPeanut on 07/11/2022 - 09:23

    can anyone recommend a good naked portafilter for the Breville 920?

    • paracaps on 07/11/2022 - 10:22

      Normcore Bottomless Portafilter - 58mm - Breville

      Works a treat on my Breville 920

    • pcolby78 on 07/11/2022 - 12:42

      Breville sells their own, which I bought (a gift) for my partner's 920:

      https://www.breville.com/us/en/parts-accessories/accessories…

      Works well. Keeps the machine's original aesthetic, if that's important to you (it was for my partner).

      Could do with a better basket, but that's not the portafilter's fault, more just that naked portafilters in general make basket imperfections more obvious.

      One small thing to note, with naked portafilters on the 920, the two holes on the drip tray will no longer longer line up with the espresso stream because the original portafilter redirects the flow back towards the handle by a centimetre or so. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of when placing your cup down :)

      • dammit on 07/11/2022 - 19:19
        +1

        $109 for the normcore and $79 for the breville- is one better than the other or much to the muchness? Are different filter baskets needed if switching to a bottomless filter?

        • dammit on 07/11/2022 - 21:07
          +1

          https://www.breville.com/au/en/parts-accessories/accessories… Breville one is $99, the above link was US store :)

        • pcolby78 on 08/11/2022 - 13:54

          They'll be 100% the same as far as the espresso out is concerned. What will matter is the basket.

          It looks like the normcore comes with a basket (I don't recall if the Breville did). But if, for example, you use the 920's original basket with both, then you'll get exactly the same results. Likewise, if you upgraded either/both to use some fancy IMS "competition" basket, then likely both will be the same. If you intend to use the basked that comes with the normcore, then I guess it depends on the quality of that basket. Personally, I'd choose the two (portafilta and basket) independently, but that's just a personal thing :)

          Cheers.

    just got a breville barista express, I keep reading that this is one of the first items everyone should get.

    • TK Deadwalker on 07/11/2022 - 10:24

      They were my first purchases as well for the Barista Express 🙂

      The tamp/distributor tool helps with getting a consistent tamp and distributing the grinds.

      Also buying a digital scale will save you a lot of guess work when it comes to weighing the beans, and the extracted shots.

    I can't believe it's still not common knowledge that these tamps are just AliBaba items being flipped on Amazon.

    1 example of hundreds of variants and sellers on Ali Express..
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32989931185.html

    Chances are you'll save at least $10 off this 'deal' and still get the same thing.

      I got mine from aliexpress along with other things and quite happy with it :) The only reason to get this is fast delivery. But aliexpress takes 1 month on average if one can wait.

      • WatchNerd on 07/11/2022 - 10:52

        The link to Aliexpress doesn't have this exact item anyway. I's just the distributer end which isn't the reason why you would buy the Matow.

        Also Aliexpress deliveries vary. Recently for me it's been 2 weeks.

        • John Doh on 07/11/2022 - 10:55

          Oh there are plenty double headed distributors/tampers if you search. But that wasnt me who posted the link.

    • krouton24 on 07/11/2022 - 10:45

      The item you linked to on AliExpress;
      Summary
      Total item costs - AU $15.81
      Total shipping - AU $3.40
      Tax - AU $1.92
      TotalAU $21.12

      You'd save $5.22 and wait at least 4 weeks for it to turn up.

      I'd rather pay the extra $5 - have it tomorrow and know if there's issues (unlikely) I can easily return for a full refund.

      • virtual81 on 07/11/2022 - 12:17

        Let me remind you…

        1) linked one random example out of hundreds, that one random example was cheaper even though I wasn't price hunting.
        2) There are hundreds more id this specific example isn't ideal.
        3) Ali Express doesn't have these as a deal, these are normal price which is even better, you don't need to wait for an Amazon deal which could take months.
        4) Recent deliveries are as quick as 2 weeks.
        5) Regardless of it simply being a single and random example it's still cheaper, and that's the point of OZ Bargain.

        If you're a pay more for convenience / have it now person then you shouldn't be on here waiting for it to become available at a slight discount.

    I got this the other day for a Barista pro and it really works well and has cut down mess so much.

    • johnnytran on 07/11/2022 - 19:53

      I bought this last week. I was using my WDT without it and man does this make a difference. So much easier to get in there without any grounds spilling. After I’m done I use the matow in this deal to distribute and tamp it. The distribution is probably not needed but I do it anyway out of habit.

      Picked my dosing funnel for $14 off binglee’s ebay using the eBay plus monthly coupon

  • agentsmithy on 07/11/2022 - 17:05

    Btw for those who also recently purchased a new machine (like me). Based on previous posts and comments I ended up getting a digital scale to help measure the beans (18g) + the extracted coffee (36g) following this awesome YouTube video from Lifestyle Lab

    I bought 3 scales off Amazon and returned 2 that were not accurate (I weighted same item multiple times and it kept showing different amounts) or didn’t react well to weight changes (ie as the coffee is expressing it took too long to calculate weight or it freaked out trying to measure a fluctuating value).

    This is the one I have kept, it was $15.50 and it is very small but fits well, it’s accurate and it shows quick values so works well when expressing. Only fault I have is that it turns off quickly to save battery. I would like to extend the “on time” as I’m using my eneloop anyway so battery usage doesn’t bother me with my eneloop stash haha!

    Hopefully this helps someone.

    • blueboy410 on 12/11/2022 - 22:01

      Which other two that you returned?
