Durable and reliable construction Crafted from durable materials, this coffee stirrer needle is built to withstand regular use without bending or breaking, providing longlasting durability in daily espresso prep. Effective ground coffee stirring The fine needle design effectively stirs ground coffee in the basket, breaks up agglomerates, and distributes grounds evenly. This supports more uniform extraction and a steadier pour, contributing to a richer espresso. Mess brewing The built in ring feature helps keep grounds contained within the basket during brewing, reducing mess and making clean up easier. Precisely sized for performance Extensive testing shows that tools larger than 1 mm in diameter may negatively affect the coffee. This stirrer needle is precisely sized to deliver efficient stirring without compromising taste or quality. Use scenarios In a cafe or home setup, use during shot prep to quickly and evenly stir grounds for consistent extraction. When grinding yields clumps or uneven particle sizes, use the needle to break up agglomerates and distribute grounds. During brewing, rely on the ring to prevent grounds from escaping the basket, keeping your workspace clean.
