IKAPE Espresso Gravity Distributor

You should measure the inner diameter of your portafilter basket. The 51mm, 53.3mm, and 58.5mm sizes correspond to standard home and commercial machine baskets, so choose the one that matches your specific equipment.

No, this is a distribution tool, not a tamper. It levels and redistributes the coffee grounds to prevent channeling, but you will still need to use a tamper afterward to compress the puck before brewing.

The distributor is designed with a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to settle naturally onto the coffee bed. As you place it in the portafilter, it automatically adjusts to the depth of your dose, ensuring a consistent, level surface regardless of how much coffee you use.

The clover-shaped propeller base is specifically engineered to move coffee grounds outward and inward more effectively than a flat surface. This motion helps break up clumps and creates a more uniform density across the puck, which is key to reducing channeling.

The unit features a detachable structure, allowing you to easily unscrew or separate the components. You can wipe the stainless steel base with a damp cloth or rinse it with warm water, ensuring it is completely dry before your next use.

At 430g, the distributor has a substantial, premium feel that provides enough downward pressure to settle the grounds without requiring extra effort. Its weight is balanced to help you achieve a level bed consistently with minimal physical exertion.
