A distribution tool levels the grounds before you tamp. Coffee falls out of
a grinder in clumps and mounds, and tamping a mound just produces a dense side
and a loose side — which is where channelling starts. Normcore’s gravity
distributor uses a 5-blade base that you rest on the bed and turn; its own
weight does the work rather than you pressing down.
Anodised aluminium and stainless steel. The 57.5mm size is offered in the
standard finish only — the Titanium PVD option is limited to the other sizes.
Why 57.5mm for a 57mm machine
The blades have to turn inside the basket, so the tool is always cut slightly
under the nominal portafilter figure. Normcore offers 51, 53.3, 57.5, 58 and
58.5mm, and its “57mm Fits Lelit” collection states the products in it are
“built to a 57mm portafilter diameter and fits Lelit 57 Group espresso
machines” — the Lelit Anna in this database.
Other items confirmed to fit machines this one fits — useful if you're kitting out a single setup. The count is how many of those machines overlap; nothing here is a new fitment claim.
