One Point Twenty One Distributor

This distributor is designed specifically for 58mm portafilters, which is the standard size for most commercial-grade and high-end home espresso machines. Please measure your portafilter basket diameter before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

A distributor levels the coffee grounds in your portafilter before you tamp. By creating a flat, even bed of coffee, it prevents channeling—where water finds the path of least resistance—resulting in a more balanced and consistent extraction.

While the specifications list electrical components, this is primarily a manual distribution tool. The rotary dial mechanism allows you to adjust the depth of the distribution blades to match your specific dose, ensuring consistent results without needing to plug it in.

Yes, the wood handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable grip. It offers a nice tactile feel that is less slippery than all-metal alternatives, making it easy to handle even when you are preparing multiple shots in a row.

The stainless steel base is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a dry cloth after each use to remove loose grounds, and occasionally clean it with a damp cloth if oils build up. Avoid soaking the wood handle in water to preserve its finish.
