The handle is comfortable to grip, allowing for precise control during the distribution process. The key feature of the Mantis is its WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) functionality. This technique involves evenly distributing coffee grounds within the portafilter basket to ensure uniform extraction and prevent channeling. The Mantis simplifies this process with its precisely spaced tines, which create a consistent and level coffee bed with minimal effort. In terms of performance, the Mantis delivers on its promises. By effectively distributing the coffee grounds, it helps achieve a more even extraction, resulting in a richer and more balanced shot of espresso. Whether you're using a manual espresso machine or a semi-automatic model, the Mantis can elevate the quality of your shots with its precision distribution. One of the advantages of the Mantis is its versatility. With adjustable depth settings, it accommodates different portafilter sizes and coffee doses, allowing for customization to suit your preferences. Whether you're brewing a single shot or a double shot, the Mantis ensures consistent results with every use. Another noteworthy aspect of the Mantis is its ease of use. The process of distributing coffee grounds is streamlined and intuitive, making it suitable for both novice and experienced baristas alike. Plus, its compact size makes it easy to store when not in use, reducing clutter on the countertop. While the Mantis excels in many areas, one potential downside is its price point. Compared to other distribution tools on the market, it may be slightly more expensive. However, when you consider the quality of construction and the benefits it provides in terms of espresso quality, the investment seems justified. In conclusion, the IKAPE Mantis WDT Distribution Tool is a valuable addition to any espresso enthusiast's arsenal. With its sturdy construction, precise distribution, and ease of use, it helps achieve consistent and flavorful shots of espresso with every brew.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Pros: Sturdy stainless steel construction Precise distribution with WDT functionality Adjustable depth settings for versatility Easy to use and ergonomic design Cons: Slightly higher price point compared to other options
Review: Does the job of breaking up slumps and distributing coffee very effectively. The cleaning brush stand could use some bristles closer to the edge as the outer needs don’t get brushed super effectively, I already has a paint brush to dust off other coffee tools so this wasn’t a serious issue for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the height adjustment work, and what’s the range?**
A: Unscrew the walnut/aluminum handle head to raise/lower the needles. The range accommodates most portafilter depths (exact mm not specified but tested for 51mm baskets).

**Q: Does the included stand double as a dosing funnel? How stable is it?**
A: Yes, the base acts as a dosing funnel + stand. Its weighted design keeps the tool upright, and the wide rim fits 51mm portafilters securely.

**Q: How do you clean the needles and handle? Is disassembly required?**
A: Needles wipe clean easily; the funnel/stand catches loose grounds. No disassembly needed—just brush off residue. Avoid soaking the wooden handle.

**Q: How does this improve extraction compared to cheaper WDT tools?**
A: The 0.4mm needles and ergonomic handle allow precise, clump-free distribution, reducing channeling. The Mantis shape offers better control than straight-needle tools.

**Q: Do coffee grounds get stuck between the needles during use?**
A: Minimal retention due to the **0.4mm needle spacing**. A quick tap or brush (included) easily clears any trapped grounds.
