Coffee Appreciation

Anyone used one of these flippable tamper/levelers? Thinking about matchy matchy now

I have not, but I can't see how it would distribute the grounds below the level of the bumps, which may be zero problem of course but would bother me.

I've been using one of these, which has been fun and I enjoy as a part of my coffee ritual each morning.

I've got a couple of normal WDT tools, but wanted something that gave the exact same results each time so I could try to get to a point where I changed a single variable at a time.

Current thinking seems to be that they aren't better/possibly worse than just tapping with palm to level. WDT is pretty universally seen as gold-standard these days for puck prep, main downside is the just the time it takes.

I'd also argue you can get an identical ebay/alixepress version without Rocket printed on the side for a tenner. 61EUR is outrageous.
