Where we land on it A distributor and nothing else, at the lowest price on this shelf — three angled slopes, a screw adjustment with no shims or Allen keys, and 304 stainless. If you already own a tamper, the other five tools here sell you one twice.
What the maker puts in writing
53 mm (2.09 in) face, for Breville 54 mm (2.13 in) baskets
Distributor and leveler only
Three angled slopes, circular motion
Screw-adjusted depth — no grub screws, shims or Allen keys
304 stainless base, anodized aluminum handle
Half the tool, a third of the price
Five tools on this shelf give you a distributor and a tamper in one body. This one gives you the distributor.
That is the right purchase if a tamper already lives in the drawer, and the wrong one if it does not — in which case the dual-head MATOW at the same 53 mm (2.09 in) is the honest comparison.
The only description of how leveling works
three angled slopes that efficiently, evenly and consistently move the coffee around in a circular motion.
Every tool on this shelf claims an even puck. One of them says what the underside does to get there.

What it gets right, and wrong
Strengths
The lowest price on this shelf, and the only tool here that does not make you pay for a tamper you may already own
The only listing to describe how it levels — three angled slopes moving the grounds in a circle
Adjusts with a screw and nothing else: the listing names the tools you do not need
Compromises
No tamper side, so it is half a workflow unless you already have one
Same 53 mm (2.09 in) face as the dual-head MATOW above it, so nothing is gained on fitment
No weight published, on a tool that levels by mass

What people want to know
Do I still need a tamper?
Yes. This tool levels the bed and stops there. Five other tools on this shelf combine both faces; this one is the cheapest because it is one of the two. If you have no tamper, add its price before comparing.
What are the three slopes?
The leveling face, described as three angled slopes that move the coffee around in a circular motion to create an even puck. It is the only listing on this shelf that explains how its distributor face is shaped rather than simply calling it a distributor.
How does the adjustment work?
A screw mechanism, with the listing noting that no grub screws, shims or Allen keys are required. at least six of the eleven tools here adjust; this is the only one that says what you will not be reaching for.

A fine steel disc that sits on the puck. It distributes the incoming water and keeps the shower screen clean — the second of which is the reason to buy it.
Best for: Anyone tired of wiping the shower screen after every session.
