Chisel Redistribution Tool I Bright Red

Chisel Redistribution Tool Powder Coated

High-quality tool for distributing the ground coffee before tamping.

Specifications:

• continuous height adjustment
• low weight (431.5 g)
• starts at 6% surface coverage
• The steep angle chisel design prevents local compression of the coffee grounds
• A low-friction surface makes spinning easier and prevents overloading
• Hand-polished base minimizes static electricity
• 316 degree stainless steel

Any downward pressure on coffee is tamping - and that should be avoided as much as possible in this step.
In order to come close to the ideal of absolutely uniform and consistent puck density and flatness, a successful compromise between vertical (compression, tamping) and horizontal (distribution, redistribution) movement is necessary. In other words: the chisel must be set deep enough so that as much ground coffee as possible is distributed, but not too deep so that individual areas are not pre-tamped unevenly. The result is optimal when the coffee grounds are evenly distributed, but still loose enough to be able to compress during subsequent tamping.

It has been achieved that, regardless of the depth set on the chisel, the 'footprint', i.e. the area of ​​the compressed coffee grounds when the chisel is attached, is just 6% - compared to competing products, which often start at 30%.

Powder coatings consist of paints that are applied to metal and other conductive surfaces. They produce less waste than liquid coatings and are free of organic solvents. The material to be coated - here the aluminum handle - is negatively charged by electrical voltage. The positively charged powder adheres to the resulting electric field and is baked in the curing oven.

Powder coatings are easy to clean, come in every color imaginable and are wonderful to customize. Slightly more sensitive to impact and scratch damage than anodized chisel.

Important: even the best redistribution tool only works with an acceptable initial distribution. This means that you have to make sure that your grinder does not scatter too much or eject it onto the sieve edge. In this case, please always 'pre-adjust' the ground coffee a little with your finger, i.e. push it into the middle. However, if the mills are set up correctly, this is usually not necessary.
