I think I'd like their products much more if the brand name didn't sound like a 13-year old's gamer tag on Call of Duty. They seem pretty well made and also quite beautiful
😂 agreed!
Lmao. Totally agree.
I’ve only started my espresso journey last year, and have spent about 3k now. And throughout that time I have glanced through this brand on many occasions but decided to pass on all of them, because that name just sounds sus on this.
@@JackY-tz3rs 😂
The exact reason I avoided them lol
Totally agree, i like their logo tho!
Thanks for all your research, testing, and expensive acquisitions. These gizmos are the very reason I gave up my top end home espresso system a decade ago. It was just about the time that mechanical preset tampers were coming onto the market that I realized my God Shots might forever remain elusive unless I had ALL THE TOYS. I took a deep look into my espresso obsessed soul, sold my Salvatore E61 HX and Rancilio Rocky to a friend in the catering biz and I have never looked back.
Remarkably refreshing to see criticism of something that’s been received for free.
I always super appreciate the things companies send me for free but I’d rather them not like what I have to say about it vs telling people to go buy something I don’t think is good. Now the caveat here would be these are all nice products I just think they’re are better ones for the money like I said. That’s not to say most people wouldn’t be very happy with these, I just want people to be aware of the options out there.

That’s exactly why I used the word criticism.
That can very much mean constructive, but it seldom does.
I’ve seen this brand go from sticking their name in products to making what at least look like original designs. Hopefully this serves as feedback to improve things, just like Normcore have also improved products like their WDT tool over the years.
Absolutely! Thanks for your comment and thoughts on these 😊
I thought depth adjustable distributor was outdated. That’s why I picked up the gravity distributor. No need to crank the collar for depth adjustments which can potentially hurt your wrist.
MHW-3BOMBER is a good brand with good products, but it is a bit overpriced imo. Also they certainly take great care of the aesthetics, and that is something to appreciate. Thanks for your honest review!
Thank you! You'll be happy to hear I just got a package from them with some more new espresso tools so I'm planning to do another video about them soon.
Great content man! Finally I caved in and bought an espresso machine. Big jump from the Bripe to the espresso world 🤣!
Thanks man! Congrats on the espresso machine, what did you get?

Nice!
Some insights about the tamper. Based on the data collected by Lance Hedrick, he saw a consistent increase in extraction with flat base tampers compared to rippled base tampers. Additionally, the spring loaded calibrated tampers such as the Force Tamper actually decreased extraction in his testing.
Just got the tamper. Wish i had watched this before purchasing it. I agree with you about the pressure, much better if there is an option to adjust it. Still pretty much applying pressure when tamping using the mhw tamper so the experience is not really okay 😅
you can under-tamp but never over-tamp, the depth adjustment or pressure adjustment are both meh. The good about them is their rings to have a always leveled tamp
The normcore is self leveling not self calibrating like the force tamper
You also have to set the depth for your 30 pounds on the normcore
I love your videos man. Thanks for making these.
Thanks! And thank you for watching them 😊
already bought it, but you could review it for the subs, its about Muvna Mantis WDT tool :) found this one from your comment from another video and I like your review style and subscribed, so that WDT tool should be a great addition to your channel
Dude! The beard is getting epic. Totally jealous. The big bead I grow is my Brent Burns to your Joe Thornton. I’ll let you google that. Just ignore the images where they’re naked with ZZ Top beards (exaggerated for the photo shoot) for Sports Illustrated.
Hahahahahahha!
I got that tamper few months ago, when I received it from Amazon, could not move it. It was all stuck together. I had to hit it with a hammer few times for it to work being able to move it around wasn’t fun but now it does the job, does keep some coffee in between.
That’s not good! I’m glad it’s working now but you shouldn’t have had to do that!!!
Thank you.
They are beautiful. And as something you will use every day, that matters. And if they are well built, they should last forever, so the cost difference becomes (over time) less of an issue. I recently bought some Umeshiso rainbow demitasse spoons for about triple the cost of spoons I had before. Do the work better? Of course not. But they’re definitely prettier, and since they’ll last forever, the increased cost is amortized over decades and therefore becomes fairly insignificant.
I do have one question: what is the diameter of the needles of the WDT tool? In millimetres, if possible.
They taper from .4mm down to .25mm at the tip.
@@coffeenerdaaron excellent. That sounds perfect.
I bought the bomber screen because it's thinner than most
Yeah it is nice that it’s thinner! I have a Sworks Design screen that’s ultra thin, it’s like paper!
Wet wdt has caused my brews to go much longer. Which, for me causes a bit of over extraction. I do typically grind pretty fine for filter so that might have something to do with it.
That’s interesting, I haven’t personally noticed that with my brews. Does that happen with all coffees?
@@coffeenerdaaron the 4 or 5 have I’ve tried it on. I use the timemore flat brewer as well as a v60. I do think it may have something to do with my grinder having more fines then most. Grinder is an Encore.
@@joshk528 yeah that could be. I typically use the Orea V3 as my daily brewer and either the Ode G2 or EK43 grinder which both have pretty decent particle distribution. I also grind pretty fine since the Orea flows so fast but I haven’t noticed stalling or slow brew times as a result of WWDT.
It's probably causing your fines to collect at the bottom and cause a blockage.
great thumbnail!!! :)
Hahahaha! Thanks 😝
What about their pitchers?
I haven’t used their pitchers so I’m not sure but I image they’re fine. I like the Slow Pour/ WPM pitchers.
God they really would sell truck loads of this stuff if they looked at their branding!
Great vid. Just a question on the DEX baskets. Do you really need the 18g and 20g basket? Or you can just have the 20g basket and dose 18-20g in it. Is it really restricted to dose exactly 20g always?
You can just get one but if you frequently change dose sizes it might be best to have options, especially with how cheap they are. Also if you opted for the larger basket but dose a lower amount you’ll have more head space on top of the coffee puck and that can negatively impact you shot. If you commonly dose 17-19gm I’d get the 18gm basket. If you’re always dosing 19gm or more I’d go with the 20gm basket.
@@coffeenerdaaronequivalent to $50 each in the UK, though!
Did you use a digital zoom/over head pan in the intro?
I use a motorized slider to do all my moving shots in camera 😊

I can GUARANTEE that vst has more precise machining than the dex. It's literally their only thing. They're made by a professional machinist and come with certificates of machining precision.
hello from Russia, thanks for the content
Thank you!!!
It's been said grooming tools cause issues with inconsistent pucks.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard that nor experienced that’s myself and I’ve been doing WDT for years.
@@coffeenerdaaron not WDT, but those spinny grooming tools, which are just levelers. IIRC, something about creating a compressed top layer with uneven bottom layers promoting channeling. WDT, on the other hand, is very beneficial.
Oh I misunderstood, I thought you meant WDT! Yes I have heard that, that’s also why I mentioned a distribution isn’t needed or necessary but at the time of filming this I didn’t think of that! 😝 Thanks for reminding me and putting it out there for others to know 👍
No time stamps
First!

Generally enjoyed your review, but your videos would be much more focused if you didn’t say the same thing two or three times over.
you shouldn't buy those "brands" they all coming from the same place...Alibaba..everyone can rebrand them... nothing new.. you gonna delete my comment? let me guess.
Why would I delete your comment? You’re allowed to have your opinion and thoughts. And also I’m not telling anyone to buy anything, I never do. I tell people my thoughts on these things that are available and let them come to their own conclusions and purchase what they want to with their own money.
Alibaba isn’t a factory. They don’t manufacture anything
