More Info Most home baristas tamp before their grounds are properly level. The result is a lopsided puck, uneven water flow, and a shot that tastes inconsistent regardless of how c arefully you tamp. A distributor fixes this in five seconds. Distributing first creates a flat, uniform coffee bed that gives your tamp something consistent to work with. Pressure follows the path of least resistance - if your puck is uneven going in, channelling follows. The difference shows up immediately in your extraction: cleaner flow, more even colour, better taste. It matters even more on a 51mm basket. With less surface area to work with, an uneven bed has a proportionally bigger effect on how water moves through the puck - so levelling properly before you tamp is one of the highest-impact things a De'Longhi owner can do. The adjustable depth collar is what separates a quality distributor from a basic one. It lets you set the exact height for your specific dose - whether you're pulling singles, doubles, or experimenting with different basket sizes - so you're not guessing each time. Need a different size? This distributor also comes in 53mm for Barista Express, Pro & Touch → and 58mm for Dual Boiler, Oracle & E61 → Show more
