WDT weapon of choice

OK. I admit it's crude, but it is effective, and makes the stir a whole lot easier.

I use a 10 cc syringe and an 18 gauge needle. The syringe is easy to grip and that size needle is a good length and width.

Hehe, I see how people will react in a coffee-shop, when barista gets out a horryfyingly looking syringe with a needle, winks at a customers and begins to tamper with it inside a yoghurt can

But anyway, I realy like the syringe idea, although I think a very thin pricker (bodkin) on a wooden handle will look nicer.

My clump-destroyer: a sewing needle stuck in a wine cork (port or sherry, hence the plastic cap).

Yes, the pointy end is embedded in the cork; the eye-end is thin enough to do the job.

I use an unbent thin paperclip which I have inserted into the base of one of those cheap Home Depot acid brushes. Two tools in one!

Yours looks positively civilized. :lol:

I don't really find that I need to WDT as long as I rotate the basket as I'm pouring the grounds and use my finger to smooth. However I like to try it once in a while and I figured there had to be a better way than using a single needle so I made this using a cork and a stripped twist-tie. Works perfectly!

Fun thread resurrection! I use one of those little picks that comes with a nutcracker.

I've been using this for the past few years. Not sure exactly what it is but I believe I picked it up from Amazon based on the recommendation of another posted over at CG.

Stainless steel dissecting needles. I picked up 50 of them from a lab supply outfit. Actual size.
