Timemore Autospin
The TIMEMORE AutoSpin WDT Tool is an automated, motorized Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) device designed to eliminate channeling and human error in espresso puck preparation. By replacing manual stirring with an automatic, bidirectional planetary needle sweep, it guarantees perfectly level, clump-free coffee grounds for optimal extraction.
- Contact-Activated Automation: Starts spinning automatically the moment it is placed on a portafilter and stops on its own when complete or lifted.
- 12-Needle Bidirectional Orbit: Uses twelve 0.3mm fine needles moving in alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise planetary cycles to prevent coffee from accumulating on the basket edges.
- Long Battery Life: Powered by a 500mAh lithium battery that charges fully in 1.5 hours via USB-C, providing over 2,000 preparation cycles per charge.
Available at selected outlets: Takealot, Yuppychef, Amazon, Cape Coffee Beans and more
Manual WDT distribution is often prone to human error—stirring too fast creates centrifugal force that pushes coffee grounds to the edges, while stirring too shallow leaves dense pockets untouched. The TIMEMORE AutoSpin WDT Tool solves this by automating puck prep through precise mechanical motion.
Featuring twelve 0.3mm ultra-fine needles extending 22mm deep, the device rotates in a fixed orbital path, breaking up clumps and leveling peaks across the entire coffee bed. Its contact-activated mechanism strips away buttons for a seamless workflow: just place it on top of your 58mm portafilter, and the motor runs through its automated bidirectional cycle. Constructed from premium aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and food-grade materials, the AutoSpin combines performance with an open-top aesthetic that lets you watch the distribution process in real-time.
- Automated Hands-Free Cycle: Begins operating upon contact with the portafilter and automatically turns off when finished.
- Bidirectional Planetary System: Alternating rotation paths eliminate clumps and ensure uniform density without side-wall build-up.
- Deep 22mm Reach: Ultra-fine 0.3mm needles cover the puck down to its base and are fully customizable to basket depth.
