Achieve smoother extraction prep with the Normcore Needle Distributor Tool V3, engineered to break up clumps and evenly disperse coffee grounds before tamping. With ultra-fine needles and a precision-crafted handle, this tool helps you create fluffier, more receptive espresso pucks suited for balanced extraction.
Choose between two thoughtful motion styles: the Planetary Version, equipped with 15 needles arranged across 5 independently rotating groups, sweeps out multi-axis coverage for deep, multidirectional distribution or the Concentric Version, featuring 16 equally spaced needles on a fixed circular disc, designed for gentle, uniform stirring in a smooth radial motion.
Built to be user-friendly, the V3 features a CNC-machined body, stepless depth control and handy replaceable needles. It seamlessly fits into both home and cafe workflows, offering a smarter way to set up your puck before each espresso shot.
