Description
We’ve optimized every aspect of this WTD Tool, from perfectly engineered gear ratios to the placement of the needles. Elevate your espresso experience with unparalleled consistency just a few spins away. Perfectly fluffy espresso pucks are now within reach.
Quick geometry lesson: Hypotrochoids and epitrochoids are curves defined by tracing a point attached to a circle that’s rolling along the inside or outside of a fixed circle, respectively. Spirographs use this concept to create mesmerizing geometric patterns.
The Papel WDT™ employs 15 needles, each with a 0.30mm diameter, to trace dozens of hypotrochoids and epitrochoids through the mounded coffee grounds in your 49mm, 54mm, 57mm and 58mm portafilter basket. This mechanical motion distributes and fluffs the grounds in seconds, ensuring consistency no matter how early in the morning it is. The increased needle count, compared to competitors, enhances distribution performance, elevating your espresso enjoyment.
The Papel WDT™ features a perfect gear design that mixes, distributes, and the coffee grounds in your portafilter in just three spins. Four separate gears come together in an optimized fashion.
You can easily select the needle length that suits your basket.
Design
- Design ergonomics and flexibility: The design is optimized for needle placement and ergonomic use.
- Use of 14 needles: More needles compared to others enhance distribution performance and improve the espresso experience.
- Identical product as advertised: The product you receive will be identical to the one shown in the shared images.
- Detailed prints: The product is meticulously designed to capture even the finest details.
How to use the tool
- The tool comes with 15 needles pre-inserted into the gear holes.
- Fill your portafilter with espresso grounds, place the tool on top, and give it 3 spins.
- Remove the tool from the basket, place it in its stand, tamp your grounds, and brew some espresso.
With this product, you’ll receive
- The Papel WDT™
- 20x needles, each with a 0.30mm diameter

Ben Verified purchase
Good quality with a caveat about the strength of the magnets – could be stronger. Everything else is excellent.
Florian Verified purchase
I like the wdt tool very much and it’s one of the rare ones that fits a ROK espresso basket.
Since I don’t heat the basket up that much (just hot water running through the ROK), I can’t sustain reviews of other users, reporting the wdt tool to melt.

Walter Verified purchase
Excellent craftsmanship and service. Distributor is well designed and crafted. I’m impressed with the smoothness of operation and seems to have improved my WDT consistency from my initial few uses.
Item was very well packaged and shipped quickly; I received the item a week after ordering (Turkey to Canada).
Thank you for the great product and service!
Hayden C Verified purchase
Excellent product. Exactly what I wanted. Seller was very quick to respond to questions and the item arrived shockingly fast.
Madison Packer Verified purchase
This is a beautiful item. It came quickly and is well constructed.
ckcheung Verified purchase
Works perfectly. Significant improvement in taste which is the main thing, and workflow has simplified. The only feedbag i would give is that the magnets don’t quite the porterfilter of the cafelat robot perfectly, thus the basket is slightly off centre when attached. Not sure if this affects the quality of wdt, but the ocd in me has noticed.
Eric Smith Verified purchase
Very smooth action on this WDT tool. It takes the lightest touch to spin the needles. I ordered the white to go with my Ascaso and looking forward to adding this to the workflow.
Dirk Verified purchase
Great product!
The WDT tool works wonderfully even in the deep basket of the Cafelat Robot.
Very homogeneous bed of coffee powder, the agglomerates are broken up nicely.
Very nice communication with Onur. Absolute recommendation!

Alan Carpenter Verified purchase
A little tough to spin and kinda got filled with grounds. Probably my fault but it did its job.
jeremy johnson Verified purchase
This item works surprisingly well. I bought this for my wife and was skeptical that it would make the espresso taste any different, and was quite pleasantly surprised, the espresso is much much smoother.
Andrew Brown Verified purchase
Arrived quickly and exactly as described. Excellent product, highly recommended
David Harris Verified purchase
The magnets are a really nice touch. Well made item and does a great job of making sure my puck has even in distributed channels.
Rayk M. Verified purchase
Very nice WDT tool! Excellent quality, fast shipping and great support from Onur. I had a question about the needle length and Onur helped very quickly and made a small adjustment so that the needles fit my filter perfectly.
This tool made my espresso, regardless of the beans, much more balanced and low in acid, something I always struggled with.
I can only recommend this tool to everyone and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
David Fells Verified purchase
Works well, would work better with a turning knob on the top.

Alex P Verified purchase
The product works really well and is of good quality. It does what it is meant to do perfectly! I am leaving 4 stars only because the finish is a little rough. For the price I expected something with a bit more attention to detail. But I would still recommend this.

David Marshall Verified purchase
Great product! Works as advertised.
captaindagon Verified purchase
preface: device works perfectly fine. only gripe is the size.
i picked this seller’s version of this style wdt tool purely for the 57mm option. so i dont really understand the point of providing a 57mm option if the device sent will just be the 58mm size. just combine the two options.
the device ends up being oversized which causes it to slide about in use. can be corrected with some spacers.
sure, while there is some info about sizing and compatibility, it probably needs to more transparent about the actual size that will be sent. as to me it sounded like the seller use to only offer 58 and then branched out to more sizes, but then didnt for 57? im not sure. but thats probably on me for not clarifying with the seller.
Philip Verified purchase
Does what it’s supposed to. Well made.

Daniel Verified purchase
Works as expected and perfect.
Scotty Meades Verified purchase
It really works so great
Howard Choularton Verified purchase
Quite graunchy, and tends to lift coffee onto the rim of the portafilter, making quite a mess.
Jerry Tong Verified purchase
Papel Espresso was very responsive and helpful with my enquiries and the print quality was simply sublime, definitely a huge upgrade to the WDT workflow from before!
Sam Verified purchase
Seems to be made well and it works. The version for the Cafelat Robot is pretty big – I mean, it has to be that size because of the diameter and depth of the Robot’s basket, but it was a bit of surprise. It’ll look nice on the counter 🙂
oka9hrgg Verified purchase
Great product and a good shop to buy from. I got answers promptly when I had questions. I will definitely shop again
Christian Blunden Verified purchase
Onur is a top rate maker. I contacted Onur to see if he could customise his 3D printer WDT tool to fit my Cafelat Robot manual espresso machine.
Through the whole process he was very communicative from measuring, build and delivery. Very professional service. The product is great, fits robot perfectly, looks great on the worktop and my espressos pulls have now been consistently perfect.
Highly recommend!
Thank you again to Onur
Corey Hughes Verified purchase
Very high quality print. Nicely printed.
Aaron Gordon Verified purchase
Seller has great communication. Shipping is good considering it comes from outside the USA. (delivered in just 2 days.) The product exceeded my expectations. Shooting is done consistently (much improved compared to before). Before purchasing it, I had different thoughts about this type WDT tools, but it exceeded my expectations.
