Distribution tools or 'levelers' like Normcore's spin across the top of the dose to flatten the surface to an even depth before tamping. While they primarily level the top of the bed — best combined with WDT for full-depth distribution — they offer a quick, repeatable way to achieve a flat, consistent puck surface, and remain a popular part of many espresso prep routines.
Pros
- Levels grounds surface quickly
- Adjustable depth
- Pairs with WDT
Cons
- Levels surface, not full bed (use with WDT)
- Extra step
