Barista Hustle - The Comb

The Comb is a 'Weiss Distribution Technique Tool' (WDT-tool), especially designed by Barista Hustle with the goal to give the barista full control on the distribution of ground coffee. This tool is manufactured with durable materials and contains 25 carefully placed holes, which enables you to choose the amount of needles you use, and how you position them.

Durable materials

The hande of The Comb is made with silicone rubber and therefore practically indestructible and can tolerate any regiment of dish-washing and bar service. The needles are 501 grade stainless steel for flexibility and corrosion resistance.

30 needles

Don't worry if you end up bending or breaking one of the needles: The Comb comes with 30 needles, so you start with 5 spare needles in case of damage. They also come in a handy tube with lid so you won’t lose them in the fray.

Optimal position and craftmanship 

At Barista Hustle they concluded that 0,35 mm is the perfect needle thickness, which results in perfect distribution of the grounds. Too thick and you leave deep trails in the grinds. Too thin and you don’t get any distribution done. Moreover, placing the needles yourself gives you full power over distribution in your filter basket of choice and leaves you with endless posibilities for experiments!

Most WDT-tools come with stock standard acupuncture needles which are super sharp. The needles of The Comb are rounded. No more finger pricks or basket scratches.
