Motta Coffee Distributor Leveler

This distributor is designed for a standard 58 mm portafilter basket. Before purchasing, confirm that your machine uses a 58 mm size, as some home machines use smaller 54 mm or 57 mm baskets.

By evenly spreading the coffee grounds before you tamp, the distributor prevents density variations in the puck. This helps eliminate channeling, where water finds a path of least resistance, resulting in a more balanced and consistent extraction.

Yes, this tool is designed to level and distribute the grounds, not to compress them. You should still use a tamper afterward to create the necessary density and resistance for proper espresso extraction.

The Motta distributor is a fixed-depth tool. It is designed to sit flush against the rim of your portafilter basket, ensuring a consistent, level surface every time you use it.

You can keep the distributor clean by wiping it with a dry, lint-free cloth after each use to remove residual coffee oils. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers to maintain the finish of the stainless steel.
