Comb – Precision WDT Espresso Distribution Tool
Color: Black | Handle Material: Soft Silicone | Includes: 30x Needles (501 Stainless Steel)
The Barista Hustle Comb is a modern reimagining of the Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT)—a proven espresso prep method used by champions and pros alike. Designed to offer a balance of safety, durability, and distribution efficiency, the Comb gives baristas full control over espresso bed structure, reducing channeling and improving consistency in every shot.
Black Silicone Handle
Constructed from ultra-durable, dishwasher-safe silicone rubber. Built to withstand rigorous café use and high-volume prep.
30x Replaceable Needles Included
Made from 501-grade stainless steel for optimal flexibility and corrosion resistance. Comes with a handy storage tube and lid to keep spares organized.
Rounded Needle Tips
Unlike sharp acupuncture needles, these are safely rounded—protecting your fingers and portafilter baskets from accidental damage.
Adjustable Configuration (25 Holes)
The silicone handle features 25 thoughtfully placed pockets, allowing you to create your own "comb-inations" for fine-tuned rake styles—from tightly packed hexagons to wide straight rows.
Goldilocks Needle Width – 0.35mm
Striking the ideal balance: thick enough for effective distribution, thin enough to preserve the puck surface. Perfect for a range of grind sizes and styles.
