F&Q
Q1: Are 0.4mm needles too thick?
A1: 0.4mm is a practical diameter intended to balance stiffness with the ability to break up clumps. Suitability depends on the coffee, grinder, basket and WDT technique; work gently to avoid over-agitating the bed.
Q2: Is replacing a spare needle complicated?
A2: No special tool is stated to be required. Unscrew the retaining nut, remove the old needle and install the replacement according to the supplied instructions. Handle the sharp points carefully and confirm that each needle is secure before use.
Q3: How durable is the retracting mechanism?
A3: The mechanism is stated to have undergone repeated durability testing and uses spring and magnetic components selected for regular operation. No service life is guaranteed; smoothness depends on normal use, cleanliness and avoiding impact or forced adjustment.
Q4: Why adjust the needle angle?
A4: Angle adjustment changes the area covered in each movement. Spread needles can reach a wider area in a larger basket, while a vertical arrangement allows more focused work in the centre. Choose the setting that suits the basket and avoid scraping its sides or base.
Q5: Is the storage base stable and difficult to knock over?
A5: The base has a low centre of gravity, added weight and a non-slip pad to support stability on a flat surface. It can still be knocked over, so keep it away from counter edges and high-traffic areas.
