The idea is that once you’ve loaded up your portafilter with freshly ground coffee, you simply place the AutoComb on top, make sure it’s secure, lower the needles into the bed of coffee, and then rotate them. The needles stir the bed of coffee, breaking up clumps and evenly distributing grinds around the entirety of the filter basket. This ensures that your bed of coffee is perfectly distributed prior to tamping, minimising your chances of channelling and prepping your puck for balanced extraction every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s not complicated, but it is impressively effective. Moreover, once you’ve got the hang of it, the process really doesn’t take much longer than a few seconds, so the AutoComb won’t stall a barista’s workflow even on a busy day at the cafe. It really is a brilliant tool that ensures consistently great espresso with efficiency, speed, and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: While the AutoComb chassis is sturdy, and the whole tool is easy to both use and maintain, its needles are delicate and can bend if they catch on, say, the edge of a portafilter.
