Description

Barista Hustle The AutoComb

Barista Hustle's solution to the espresso grind distribution problem. A hand-powered WDT tool built for speed and durability.

The AutoComb spins 12 carefully arranged needles at high speed. This movement mechanically fluidises the grinds organising them into a fluffy and homogenous mass ready for tamping. It consistently distributes grinds very well; no matter how they started or who’s using the tool. Built for brutal hospitality environments, the AutoComb is not only built to last but it's quick, with the entire process taking less than 5 seconds.

Café or Home?

Both! We designed the AutoComb to be tough and fast enough for café use. But it’s just as effective at home. If perfect Weiss technique eludes you before the morning caffeine, you’re in luck!

For cafes, we expect there will be a range of utilisation. Some venue managers say they will use it for every coffee. Others want to use it for their black/single origin coffees. We’re looking forward to seeing how it’s used in your venue!

Cleaning and Maintenance

Every part of the AutoComb is user removable with allen keys for cleaning or maintenance. The sliding carriage which holds the needles is removable without tools, so you can get up close with the needles, or run them under a tap. The white acetal slider is easily wiped clean if coffee grinds build up on the sliding surfaces.

  • The two ball bearings are fully sealed and lubricated for life.
  • This tool is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand washing only.

What's in the box?

  • 1 x AutoComb with 12 needles installed.
  • Tube with approx. 38 spare needles.
  • Allen keys.
  • Card with QR code for the quick-start guide and manual.
