Coffee distributors

How to choose a coffee distributor?

What is a coffee distributor and what are the benefits?

A coffee distributor is a tool designed to evenly distribute and settle the ground coffee in the portafilter before the actual brewing. Its main benefit is to ensure a consistent and even distribution of the coffee, which helps to prevent channeling problems and improve the quality of the espresso.

What material is best suited for a coffee distributor?

Coffee distributors are made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminium and wood. Stainless steel is popular for its durability and ease of maintenance, aluminium is lightweight and affordable, while wood adds an aesthetic element and a pleasant feel when used.

What brands and models of coffee makers are compatible with the coffee distributors we offer?

It is important to check compatibility with your particular model of coffee machine.

What are the advantages of using coffee distributors with different adjustable functions?
