Safety pin as a WDT tool. Good enough or am I missing something?

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. 😄

We - ‘The Cockroaches’ at the mercy of Municipality - Yet again

If premium area such as Cybercity is in such a mess, hate to think about the other areas! Until when we have to suffer this due to poor infrastructure planning and inefficiency of Municipality of Gurgaon? Isn’t there any forum to get together and raise voice together?

Retractable Premium Roller Ball pen suggestion

Need recommendations for Premium roller ball pens which should be retractable. I do my quick journalling on the move on my pocket notebook along with office notes and need a pen which should be easier to get ready without fearing about loosing the cap.

I am preferably looking for 0.5mm nib with pen body as Metal or Premium Plastic. Budget is ₹2-3k, slightly flexible.
