Our long-awaited solution to the espresso grind distribution problem. A hand-powered WDT tool built for speed and durability.

The AutoComb spins 12 carefully arranged needles at high speed. This movement mechanically fluidises the grinds organising them into a fluffy and homogenous mass ready for tamping.

• It consistently distributes grinds very well; no matter how they started or who’s using the tool.
• It’s built for brutal hospitality environments.
• The entire process takes less than 5 seconds.

The most repetitive motion behind bar deserves better. The Tamper’s 58.4mm diameter fits a VST basket exactly while the unique double flange not only eliminates the frustrating vacuum effect but also helps keep you vertical. Made with military-spec type III hard anodized aluminium with a 304 stainless steel flat base, the Barista Hustle Tamper is durable but lightweight to minimize fatigue. And because a tamper’s lifespan is bound to include a few run-ins with the floor, the base is easily and affordably replaceable.

Barista Hustle Cupping Bowls 220ml-24pcs

Ceramic cupping bowls are far from perfect. They’re expensive to ship, break easily, and steal heat energy from the coffee. These new cupping bowls solve all of these issues in one fell swoop. 

Matt Perger personally designed every cubic millimetre, and sourced the specific material, making sure these bowls are zero compromise.

Affordable
BH Bowls are half the price of ceramics. More importantly, they don’t come with the huge ceramic shipping tax.

Precise
Every bowl is exactly the same volume, to the milliliter. They’re designed so ~12 grams of coffee grinds and 200g boiling water will sit right under the rim. Easily accurate pours without scales are possible, but of course we recommend weighing every bowl.

Temperature
Weighing in at a mere ~45g, these bowls will only steal 5°C of water temperature when filled. Your average 200g ceramic bowl will instantly suck up 13°C. Whether you use boiling water or 93.58°C, your coffee will be extracted closer to your set point, more consistently. The drop in temperature over time will remain fairly similar to ceramic, as the water’s surface is where most of the heat is lost over time. You’ll also be able to move these bowls off your brew scales right after pouring without burning your fingers!

Stackable
They added 6 wings beneath the lip that enable easy stacking for efficient storage, and anxiety-free transport. They also completely drain and dry themselves when stacked upside down after washing!

Almost Unbreakable
Can withstand any fall from the cupping lab table, or off the side of a cliff at origin. You could probably break the legs off with a well placed golf club, but that’s not SCA cupping room protocol. Good luck doing it with a spoon.

100% Food grade
No fillers, colours, allergens, heavy metals, or toxic mold release agents. BPA free, phthalate free, and zero androgenic or similarly suspicious chemicals. Here’s the datasheet for the exact plastic we’re using. It’s FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 3.2a certified for food contact without temperature or food-type limits.

100% Recyclable
We chose HDPE because it’s 100% recyclable with current techniques. The “2” in the triangle on the bottom tells your local recycling outfit what they’re made of for efficient processing. That said, these bowls should last a lifetime. Please give them to your up-and-coming-cupping-champion kids rather than throwing them out. And if you have to throw them out, please recycle!

Taste and Odour Free
HDPE is what commercial chopping boards, water pipes, and milk bottles are made from. It doesn’t hold water or leach anything into water. It’s dishwasher safe, UV resistant, and can withstand all chemicals found in the hospitality environment!

Our take on the Weiss Distribution Technique or WDT; one of the longest standing espresso distribution methods. The handle is made of soft silicone rubber with 25 thoughtfully placed holes for a wide array of needle combinations. 30 needles come as standard so you can instantly replace any bends or breaks.

Forever Materials
Our silicone rubber handle is high on 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 about inevitably dropping the Comb and bending a needle. With 30 spares you’re seconds away from an easy replacement. They also come in a handy tube with lid so you won’t lose them in the fray.

Goldilocks Width
Too thick and you leave deep trails in the grinds. Too thin and you don’t get any distribution done. 0.35mm is our choice for the best compromise. And if you’re finding the Comb is still not quite right for your grinds, you can adjust the width between the needles thanks to the 25 pockets.

Safety First
Most WDT tools come with stock standard acupuncture needles which are super sharp. Our needles are rounded. No more finger pricks or basket scratches.

Combinatorial
A closely packed hexagon or a straight rake both achieve different results. We designed the Comb to suit your style of WDT.

Cleanliness is next to baristaliness. If your workflow involves coffee grinds and a portafilter, chances are the Ring can help. Magnetised, mirror polished interior, and fully stainless steel; we couldn’t make it any better.

Max Quality
304 stainless steel. Brushed exterior. Mirror polished interior. 8 Neodymium magnets. No coatings or paint to chip off. It’s an heirloom.

Mirror Mirror
The inside surface of the Ring is mirror polished so you can spot any errant grinds and keep things super clean with little fuss.

Attractive
8 magnets keep the Ring snugly on your basket, even upside down or during some wholehearted tapping. Once you’re done, it comes off without any fuss.

Suits You
We designed the Ring for use in all bar settings. High volume or low. Direct grinding or with cups. WDT mess containment or side-tapping. It’s up to you.

Fifty Eight
The Ring is ready to catch grinds beneath most grinders or keep your dosing cup routine crispy clean atop all standard 58mm baskets.
