Magnetic funnel and WDT tool

We have used the OCD tool for years but it feels like time to buy more sh1t/up my game.

What magnetic funnel and wdt tools are recommended- our machine has e61 group head with vst basket and a niche zero grinder

Cheers

I’m using this funnel. Works perfectly on my Minima 58mm bottomless portafilter with a VST basket

I got the normcore magnetic funnel which looks nice and is a copy of the small Decent one but is expensive for what it is(although cheaper than the decent) . I got lucky on eBay for £8.

I’ve got the normcore magnetic funnel. It’s lightweight enough that It doesn’t fall off when I invert the portafilter over my Niche dosing cup. I don’t know any of the other options so I won’t say the normcore is the best choice, but a funnel that can stay on upside down is definitely what you want with the Niche.

The tall Decent funnel is the best I’ve used. It uses strong magnets and sits on the rim of the basket as opposed to sitting in the basket. The height means I don’t need RDT.

tompoland agreed….. great product….. but expensive

simonc

tompoland do you ever get small amount of grounds between funnel and basket rim? I have to wipe mine before tamping. Wondering if more money prevents that.

The ebay one I posted above is a perfect fit - it’s 3d printed with fitted magnets though. I really wanted a metal one, but ended up sending the metal one I’d bought back for the exact reason you have mentioned.

I’m over the fact it’s not metal now. It does exactly the job I bought it for

tompoland

No its quite snug really. If I recall corectly, an earlier version had that issue but not this one.

simonc

dutchy101 had a closer look and some of the magnets are not flush with the metal rim. It’s only 2 of 8 and maybe 1/10th of mm but it’s enough.

simonc

Hmmm. Maybe I try that one too.
