{"product_id":"ncd-nucleus-coffee-distribution-tool","title":"NCD Nucleus Coffee Distribution Tool","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere is a moment just before the shot pulls when the puck either holds or it doesn't. Distribution is the variable most often overlooked and most quietly consequential. A dose settled unevenly into the basket means water finds the path of least resistance, and the cup that follows tells you exactly where it went.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe NCD Nucleus Coffee Distribution Tool was designed to address that moment. Developed by Sasa Sestic, the 2015 World Barista Champion, and tested at the Switzerland University of Applied Technologies, it brings a patented four-blade distribution system to a format that works consistently across skill levels and service volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned by a World Barista Champion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSasa Sestic took the World Barista Championship title in 2015 and has spent the years since working on the tools that make consistently excellent espresso more achievable. The NCD is one of them. Its four-blade geometry came from a practical question: how do you settle coffee grounds evenly into a basket, every time, without introducing new variables?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe patented design has been tested at the Switzerland University of Applied Science, giving the distribution claim a basis beyond feel. The blades disperse grounds laterally and evenly, reducing the channelling that comes from clumping or uneven settling. An anti-static coating on the tool surface prevents grounds from adhering between doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFour Blades, One Consistent Puck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe NCD uses four uniquely angled blades to move coffee through the basket rather than pressing it in. The result is a puck with a level, evenly distributed bed that gives water a consistent path from first contact to last. Combined with the adjustable depth collar, the tool adapts to different basket depths and dose sizes without requiring a separate unit for each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNumbered height markers run down the side of the adjuster, so changes between recipes can be tracked and repeated precisely. The collar locks in place once set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Use, Not to Handle Carefully\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe NCD is an all-metal tool. Its stainless steel centre and anodized aluminium adjuster and locker give it a weighted, settled feel in the hand. Textured sides and finger grooves make it secure to hold during distribution, even in a fast-paced bar environment. At 386 grams, it has the heft of something built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eNCD Nucleus Coffee Distribution Tool\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ex 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBasket Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe NCD is sized at 58.5mm, compatible with IMS and VST precision baskets.
