{"product_id":"subminimal-flux-electric-wdt-tool","title":"Subminimal Flux Electric WDT Distribution Tool","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Subminimal Flux is an electric Weiss Distribution Technique tool designed for home baristas and prosumers who want consistent, clump-free espresso puck preparation without manual stirring. The Flux runs at a user-selectable fast speed of 600 or 800 RPM, then automatically drops to a 350 RPM slow spin for four seconds to level the bed before extraction. It is available in Black, White, and Terracotta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Speeds, One Consistent Puck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual WDT tools require the user to apply even pressure and consistent speed, variables that shift from shot to shot. The Flux removes that inconsistency by motorizing the process. Holding the touch button drives the needles at the chosen fast speed (600 or 800 RPM) through the full depth of the basket, breaking up clumps that cause channeling. Releasing the button triggers an automatic four-second slow spin at 350 RPM that settles the grounds into a level bed without disturbing the surface. The result is a puck that is ready for tamping with the same geometry every time, which is the foundation of a repeatable shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Needles for Any Portafilter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flux ships with needles set parallel for tight, precise circles, but the spread can be widened before installation to cover more of the basket in fewer passes. Needles attach magnetically, so swapping between configurations or replacing a worn set takes seconds. Two complete needle sets ship in the box: one installed and one spare, so the tool is ready to use from day one without an additional purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRechargeable and Ready to Store\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flux charges via USB-C and is built around a long-lasting, replaceable battery paired with a custom high-torque, micro-geared motor. When not in use, the tool sits vertically on the included wall magnet or horizontally on the included tray, keeping the counter organized. The compact body measures 90 mm x 21 mm without needles and approximately 140 mm x 21 mm with needles installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual fast-speed selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e choose 600 or 800 RPM to match your workflow and grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic slow finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e four-second 350 RPM spin levels the puck after each fast run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic needle system:\u003c\/strong\u003e needles attach and detach instantly; spread is adjustable before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo needle sets included:\u003c\/strong\u003e one installed set and one spare ship in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C rechargeable with replaceable battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e custom high-torque micro-geared motor; battery is replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage accessories included:\u003c\/strong\u003e wall magnet and tray both ship in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFast speeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e600 RPM \/ 800 RPM (user-selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSlow speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e350 RPM (automatic, 4-second finish)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCharging\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSB-C rechargeable; battery is replaceable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e90 mm x 21 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions with needles\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e~140 mm x 21 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTray dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e160 mm x 64 mm x 15 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWall magnet dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e42 mm x 14 mm x 16 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (each variant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e160 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, White, Terracotta\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eReplacement needle set, tray, wall magnet, certificate of authenticity, instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Flux suits home baristas and prosumers who pull espresso regularly and want a repeatable, motorized alternative to manual WDT stirring. It works with standard portafilter baskets and is a practical upgrade for anyone already using a manual WDT tool who wants to remove hand-speed variability from their puck prep routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Flux is not waterproof and cannot be rinsed under running water; cleaning is limited to wiping with a slightly damp cloth. It is not designed for batch or commercial-volume workflows where a fully automated dosing and distribution system would be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I switch between 600 and 800 RPM on the Flux?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eWith the Flux stopped, tap the top touch button five times and hold. After a few seconds the fast speed will shift between 600 and 800 RPM. Release the button to save the new setting; the Flux retains that speed until you change it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the Flux include spare needles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Subminimal Flux ships with two complete needle sets: one set is installed before first use and a second set is included as a spare. Needles are held by a magnetic cap, so swapping them requires no tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the Flux needles be adjusted for different basket sizes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Flux needles ship in a parallel configuration for tight, precise circles, but they can be spread apart before installation to cover a wider area of the basket in fewer passes. The adjustment is made before placing the needles into the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the Flux waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Flux is not waterproof and should not be rinsed under running water. To clean the Flux, wipe the body and needles gently with a slightly damp cloth as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat storage options come with the Flux?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Subminimal Flux includes both a tray (160 mm x 64 mm x 15 mm) for horizontal storage and a wall magnet (42 mm x 14 mm x 16 mm) for vertical mounting. Both accessories ship in the box at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Subminimal","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":68318752997597,"sku":"SUB-FX-01-BL","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Terracotta","offer_id":68318753030365,"sku":"SUB-FX-01-TC","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":68318753063133,"sku":"SUB-FX-01-WH","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3315\/1709\/files\/Flux_Black.jpg?v=1793145679","url":"https:\/\/coffeeroastco.com\/products\/subminimal-flux-electric-wdt-tool","provider":"CoffeeRoast Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
