Description
The IKAPE espresso stirrer is an essential tool for baristas, featuring a magnetic stand and WDT tool that adhere securely. Its flying saucer design adds a stylish touch.
This innovative WDT tool offers a unique angle adjustment of up to 120 degrees, enhancing the traditional stirring experience for baristas. With two sets of interchangeable needles, including 6 (0.25mm) and 6 (0.4mm) ultra-fine stainless steel needles, customers can easily switch between sizes by unscrewing the handle head.
Extensive testing demonstrates that the 0.25mm needles are ideal for stirring ultra-fine coffee powder, while the 0.4mm needles effectively break up clumps for a consistent powder texture.
An even coffee bed is crucial for proper espresso extraction, as uneven surfaces can lead to water channeling and uneven extraction. Water tends to take the path of least resistance, resulting in under-extracted and over-extracted portions in the final shot. WDT requires a more hands-on approach compared to tools like the NCD, but it offers the benefit of distributing coffee grounds more effectively throughout the bed, leading to a more balanced and flavorful espresso shot.
