I just use a needle - poke it in the puck a few times, then tamp.
Honestly it's so effective that buying anything seems hard to justify. $60 is a lot.

I bought a cheapo needle distributor for £5 which deffo helps the shots.
I’ve been using a 58mm tamper but have been wanting a slightly better fitting 58.3 or 58.5mm for a while. And spinning the leveller looks fun lol.

Normcore tamper/distributor: yes or no?
I bought a knockoff for about £30 without realising that it wasn’t spring loaded, so I sent it back.
Seems like a nice addition to the espresso setup, or is it a silly waste of money?
