The Motta Metallurgica 8350/585 coffee distributor is a professional tool for preparing coffee for extraction in an espresso machine. It helps spread the ground coffee evenly in the basket before tamping, which supports a more even water flow and more repeatable espresso extraction.
The 58.5 mm distributor is made of stainless steel combined with plastic. Solid construction and simple use make it a practical part of any barista station.
Even coffee distribution in the basket
Once the right dose of ground coffee is in the portafilter, place the distributor on top and make 2-4 turns without pressing down.
The profiled underside spreads the coffee across the whole basket, levelling the bed before tamping. Then simply tamp and start the extraction.

Even distribution is one of the steps towards consistent espresso. The Motta distributor helps reduce unevenness in the coffee bed, which can make it easier to get a more stable water flow during extraction.
It is especially useful for baristas working with machines that use 58.5 mm baskets.
