Cloud Drop Gravity Espresso Distributor, 51/53/58mm

Level your puck in seconds — $24.99

After grinding, your coffee bed is a landscape of hills and valleys. The Cloud Drop is a gravity distributor: set it on the portafilter and its weighted base spins under its own weight, sweeping the grounds flat and even before you tamp. No batteries, no technique to learn.

Key features

• Gravity-powered leveling — the weighted base does the work; just place it and let it spin
• Even bed, fewer channels — a level surface before tamping means water meets the puck uniformly
• Three sizes — 51mm for DeLonghi Dedica, 53/54mm for Breville Barista Express / Bambino, 58mm for standard prosumer machines

How to use it

1. Grind into your portafilter.
2. Set the Cloud Drop on top and let it rotate — a few turns is enough.
3. Lift it off and tamp as usual.

Use it after WDT for the full routine: needles break up clumps inside the bed, the distributor levels the surface, then tamp.
