How is it different to just banging the portafilter a couple of times to get the grinds to settle and then tamping?

Banging causes the grounds to separate into layers of sizes.
Distribution tools help keep the particle sizes more evenly distributed.

I still tap the portafilter... It just works...
I'd been doing the grind, declump with cocktail stick then tamp thing for a while with very mixed results... The gadget gives me the same result every time... Must be Italian magic...

It's really great, it's made my other half's life super easy for pulling shots... She isn't as anal as me about the process so it really simplifies things, for the pair of us tbh!
Nice one!
