After a long time lusting after some of these products I took the plunge on the tall funnel and wdt tool. After a long delivery time they arrived last week and I'm suitable impressed. I'm upgrading from the Normcore funnel which is another Decent clone but considerably cheaper. It using magnets too and sits outside allowing straight through tamping, but the magnets are weak and I also got grounds between the funnel and lip of the basket. But the SWORKS one does everything Sheldon claims. It's a very strong grip and not a trace of coffee gets in between. I'm now dosing striaght into it from the niche and it's still a no mess process and even quicker. The wdt tool is also very nice. A choice not only of needle size but also angle. I'm using 9 x 0.22mm for now on narrower setting. It's a slightly better experience than my Etsy plastic over but that's likely the slightly thinner needless. It's nice they can't stick into you as round tips and the magnet is nice touch as I didn't get a stand, but might add one later. They aren't cheap but certainly deliver on value, the funnel especially is well worth it over cheap ones. I'm interested how others have set up the wdt needles.

Dare I even look 😂 - I dont need more temptation

simonc Can I ask how much was shipping etc - the funnel looks great… but of course I fancy the stainless steel one !

simonc

MattH it was $50 for each item then another $37 for postage. Not sure if it’s still $37 for only one item.
The funnel is amazing, the wdt just nice to have. I’d have loved some funky colours but kept it cheap with black.

I have a double whammy of not getting accessories.

54mm and then a lever portafilter 😅

simonc

tompoland thanks, necessitated by space and camera mounting options.
Not a grain of coffee lost which isn’t guaranteed flipping the niche cup into the portafilter as it sometimes stacks up on one side.

tompoland

simonc quick question if you don’t mind, how did you mount the camera overhead. I think it worked really well visually.

tompoland balanced on a shelf with just the lens poking over. My grinder is the pantry so it’s below open shelves and not a cupboard.
