Lastaforest Espresso Distributor

You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket. The 51mm, 54mm, and 58mm options correspond to standard basket sizes; for example, most Breville machines use 54mm, while E61 group heads typically require 58mm.

No tools are necessary. You can simply twist the top section of the distributor to loosen or tighten the depth setting, allowing you to customize the compression based on your specific dose size.

The walnut handle is finished for durability, but it should not be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher. We recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth and drying it immediately to maintain the wood's integrity.

Yes, it is designed to work with any grind size suitable for espresso. Its three-angled clover base effectively moves and levels the grounds regardless of the roast or grind profile.

This is a distribution tool, not a tamper. Its primary purpose is to evenly spread and level the coffee grounds in the basket before you apply pressure with a tamper, which helps prevent channeling and ensures a more uniform extraction.

The clover base features three angled slopes that push the coffee grounds outward and downward as you rotate the tool. This motion eliminates air pockets and creates a perfectly flat, consistent surface for your puck.
