Olympia Express - Puck Prep Tool - 49mm - 250601

This was a splurge, but with a little trial & error, it made a huge difference.

The funnel is too short to prevent overspill from my Niche grinder, so I use the funnel from Niche. Their funnel also has a lip that goes inside the basket, preventing grounds from going under. So, once I break up any clumps, I switch funnels & distribute/tamp.

Works perfectly.

My puck is always level & compressed the same amount (something previously unreliable.

I now have consistently little or no channeling, the flow comes together faster, & my shots are more predictable.

I'm glad I bought it.
