Portafilter Cup for shake distribution

thingiverse

Improving coffee distribution in the portafilter has made a significant difference. The coffee cup is a simple tool used to distribute ground coffee evenly across the portafilter after grinding. It has been incredibly helpful in breaking down clumps of coffee into a consistent powder and spreading the grounds out across the entire basket, rather than having them concentrated at the center. It takes some practice to get it right, but with a bit of effort, you can achieve even distribution by shaking the portafilter and tapping its sides. The initial results are often better than what you'd get from most grinders, even after tapping the portafilter to settle the grounds. The idea behind using this cup comes from Artisti Coffee Roasters' YouTube channel, where they compared distributing coffee with a cup versus by hand and found that the cup produced a much better outcome.
