Stop clumps and uneven extractions
Clumping and bumpy puck tops cause channelling and thin shots. The Breville Distribution Duo 54mm solves this by combining adjustable WDT pins to de-clump and a three-blade distribution face to create a flat, consistent surface for precise tamping.
How It Works
Set the 8 removable pins angled or straight, then stir through the basket to break up clumps and spread grounds evenly.
Place the distribution face on the basket and rotate in either direction to level the surface.
Adjust the tool height to suit your dose and basket depth for consistent headspace to the shower screen.
Tamp on a stable base, pull the shot, and enjoy balanced extraction.

Will it fit my 54mm Breville espresso machine portafilter?

How should I set the pins, angled or straight?
