Safety pin as a WDT tool. Good enough or am I missing something?
I’ve been using a simple safety pin as my WDT tool, and honestly, it has been working surprisingly well for me.
I gently stir the grounds to break up clumps and distribute them before tamping. So far, I’ve been getting good, consistent extractions and good-tasting coffee.
Which made me curious: how many of you actually use a proper WDT tool, and is there a meaningful difference compared with something this basic?
If you do use a proper WDT tool, what did you buy and what do you like about it?
Would love to hear whether I’m saving money with this little workaround or just convincing myself that it works. 😄
