Moonraker transforms espresso puck preparation through a finely engineered design that blends the craft of coffee distribution with Swiss watchmaking precision. It achieves perfect powder homogenization using a carefully calculated spirographic motion.
Optimised for 58mm portafilters, Moonraker employs a unique mechanism to homogenise the coffee bed, offering a significant advancement over standard WDT tools.
- The STANDARD edition is made from anti-static, glass fibre-reinforced, food-safe polymer. Embedded neodymium magnets hold the needles securely while allowing for easy replacement.
- The ULTRA edition utilizes a solid brass movement (gears) and use embedded neodymium magnets to retain the needles, which also allows for quick replacement.
Made from high-quality materials, its body combines aerospace-grade anodized aluminum with polished stainless steel, while the distribution needles are fashioned from medical-grade stainless steel and tensioned by copper alloy springs.

What people like
This espresso puck preparation tool is generally well-regarded for its innovative design and its effectiveness in improving coffee extraction and consistency. Many users appreciate the robust build quality and the streamlined workflow it offers, especially in commercial settings. Despite its capabilities, the cost is a frequent point of discussion among consumers, as is the durability of some components.
Pros

- Enhanced Consistency: The tool offers excellent repeatability in puck distribution, reducing inconsistencies between shots compared to manual WDT methods.
- Premium Build: Made with high-quality materials like stainless steel and aluminum, it is praised for its robust, well-engineered, and aesthetically pleasing design.
- Cafe Efficiency: Its design allows for quick and consistent distribution, making it a valuable asset in high-volume cafe environments where speed is important.
- Easy Needle Replacement: The design allows for straightforward replacement of needles.
Cons
- High Price: The tool is significantly more expensive than many other WDT tools or DIY alternatives, making it a luxury item.
- Fragile Needles: Several users reported that the needles are prone to bending, especially with frequent use, and affordable replacements are desired.
- Noise/Smoothness (Standard Version): Some reviewers experienced a "sawing wood" sound and noted that the standard version was not as smooth in operation as expected for its price.
- Limited Randomization: One critique suggests that the tool may not truly randomize the needle path, potentially leading to less comprehensive coverage or leaving craters.
