A Premium Spirographic Espresso Distribution Tool for Flair Espresso by Papel Espresso®
We’ve optimized every aspect of this tool, from perfectly engineered gear ratios to the placement of the needles. Elevate your espresso experience with unparalleled consistency just a few spins away. Perfectly fluffy espresso pucks are now within reach.
Quick geometry lesson: Hypotrochoids and epitrochoids are curves defined by tracing a point attached to a circle that’s rolling along the inside or outside of a fixed circle, respectively. Spirographs use this concept to create mesmerizing geometric patterns.
The Papel WDT™ employs 12 needles, each with a 0.30mm diameter, to trace dozens of hypotrochoids and epitrochoids through the mounded coffee grounds in your 58mm portafilter basket. This mechanical motion distributes and fluffs the grounds in seconds, ensuring consistency no matter how early in the morning it is. The increased needle count, compared to competitors, enhances distribution performance, elevating your espresso enjoyment.
The Papel WDT™ features a perfect gear design that mixes, distributes, and the coffee grounds in your portafilter in just three spins. Four separate gears come together in an optimized fashion.
🖊️Design:
Design ergonomics and flexibility: The design is optimized for needle placement and ergonomic use.
Use of 12 needles: More needles compared to others enhance distribution performance and improve the espresso experience.
Identical product as advertised: The product you receive will be identical to the one shown in the shared images.
Detailed prints: The product is meticulously designed to capture even the finest details.
✔️Compatibility:
Currently, the base is designed to fit 58mm portafilters with two flanges. If you have a different type or size of portafilter, please contact us. We plan to offer additional options to increase compatibility in the future, so let us know what you’re using.
How to use the tool:
1. The tool comes with 10 needles pre-inserted into the gear holes.
2. Fill your portafilter with espresso grounds, place the tool on top, and give it 4 spins.
3. Remove the tool from the basket, place it in its stand, tamp your grounds, and brew some espresso.

Onur, the creator and seller of this article is a kind gentleman. Very responsive to emails.
The parcel was prepared the same day as I ordered the planetary gears WDT and arrived at home very well packed to protect the article.
This planetary distribution tool is 3D printed but unlike other 3D printed WDT, this one has a really smooth texture giving it a more professional look. The quality is really great and the finish is superb. It comes with 5 additional needles.
It works just as advertised and the coffee grinds are very well distributed, much better than with my manual tool. This definitely helps to have a better and more homogeneous extraction.
Perfect fits the Flair Pro 2 (46 mm) and I have a semi automatic espresso machine with 51 mm portafilter too and it works on it as well which was a great surprise! ??

Works as advertised, only issue I have is the grounds get distributed so well they potentially overflow when removing the tool. Reducing the amount of needles to 5 or 6 will resolve the issue.
