Saint Anthony Industries BT Wedge Espresso Distribution Tool

The wedge shape is designed to push coffee grounds outward and level them as you rotate the tool, rather than just smoothing the surface. This movement helps prevent density variations and channeling before you even apply your tamper.

The BT Wedge is available in 58.3mm and 53.3mm diameters. You should measure your portafilter basket's inner diameter to ensure a snug fit, as the tool is designed to work best with minimal clearance.

Yes, the depth is fully adjustable between 5mm and 14mm. You can easily dial it in to match your specific dose volume, ensuring the wedge sits at the perfect depth for your basket without over-compressing the grounds.

The polished stainless steel finish is specifically engineered to be non-stick. While some minor retention is inevitable with any tool, this surface significantly reduces the amount of grounds that cling to the base compared to brushed or textured finishes.

Yes, the BT Wedge is a distribution tool, not a tamper. Its purpose is to evenly distribute and level the grounds, but you will still need to use a tamper to compress the coffee bed and create the necessary resistance for extraction.
