Distribution tools

A distribution tool (leveler) rakes or spins the grounds flat before tamping, so the puck extracts evenly. Like a tamper it is chosen by the basket's internal diameter and must match the machine's size. Some tools combine a distributor and a tamper in one adjustable body. It does not replace tamping — it evens the surface so the tamp lands flat.

How these entries are sourced

4 distribution tools are listed here, 4 of them backed by a manufacturer document read firsthand. A part appears under a machine only when a maker's own documentation names that machine or states the dimension it is built to — we do not infer a fit from two numbers matching, and where a maker is silent we leave the gap visible instead of filling it.
