Description
xElevate your espresso workflow with precision
Meet the Normcore Concentric Needle Distributor V3, a 58mm tool engineered to prep the coffee bed with intention before extraction. The fixed disc holds 16 ultrafine needles that glide through the grounds along evenly spaced circular paths. The result is a more uniform puck and a steadier foundation for the shot, which may translate to smoother pours and clearer flavors depending on your technique and equipment. While outcomes vary, many baristas notice increased predictability in extraction flow when using this distributor.
