    I purchased both the 3Bomber and the iKape. 3Bomber fits the 54mm much better. Even though the iKape has magnets, they never meet the basket rim. 3bomber 16$, iKape 33$. Also, the bell on the iKape has a slight gap and fine grinds fall out a bit. Interesting difference in the look of wdt vs shaker Jack! The shaker for me is less hassle. No need for doser cup.

    Enjoyed the intro and the humour in this video :) Well done.
    I think I mentioned the alcohol part on one of your Instagram's post, and I tried it when I got the shaker a couple days later... and I still get static. I use your same method, tamp the shaker on the kitchen top and then use a brush to brush off the ground. I also don't put the Bomber's shaker directly on the portafilter, since it leaves a wide enough ring which requires me to mess up with the puck. I do however WDT the top (just a few millimetres) to level the puck before tamping. This way I'm avoiding having a massive difference of concentration. I didn't do enough tests to say it's better than WDT or not, but I enjoy the coffee I get. The shots are not Instagram friendly and they are fast. But who cares! :)

    I got it today, I personally just love the way it looks and I get a good cup regardless of using WDT, the shaker or both. Bit sad about the ring it leaves on the coffee grounds when you place it on top of the portafilter. I doesn't change the coffee by a meaningful amount in my opinion, but it's just fun to shake up the routine. Certainly not a must in any way and sure if you go into the hard scientific extraction percentages then maybe, but if you just want to make a good cup of coffee you are good with what was previously know.

    I have exactly same shaker and i am using around more than 1 month. Actually I don’t realize any significant better taste or something but somehow taste is different than the classic preparation. But I didn’t like the shaking action and mostly i prefer the classical prep technique. About the static electric, if you spray some water to outside of shaker after shaking and tap it couple of times to table, all coffee release from surface. I am using same technique also for hand grinder. Because if you spray water to beans before grinding, hand grinder burr can be have sticky coffee mud.

    Nobody mentions the clumping. I saw some in your basket, see them in mine especially if I RDT using a Niche. Maybe it doesn't matter but in the old days that was to be avoided. Years ago I bought a Weber blind shaker to escape WDT but probably spent as much time brushing in the remaining powder/fines stuck to the shaker then switched back to WDT. Now I've brought it out of the cabinet to use again. I can see and taste a "slight" difference but not enough to override my work flow preference of grinding directly into the the PF and then WDT. "To each his own" I guess.

    First?! I have been trying to shake with my dosing cup, mixing in additional wdt of the top layer occasionally (this is my routine lately), it seems ever so slightly better. But it could just be confirmation bias and is pretty comparable to my usual routine.
    I’ve essentially switched out wdt in the dose cup for shaking it, both by itself and when I mate it with the porta filter. Negligible difference, but it works with my flow, so I’m keeping it for now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    @BensCoffeeRants 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Try shaking with pour over too? I'm curious if that changes anything, I thought I had worse / over extracted results the few times I tried with pour overs. But might have been my coffee.
    I noticed as well shaking smooths out the coffee but makes it more boring and lacks acidity, maybe also tasted more blended (less clarity but not sure) apparently limiting to just about 3 shakes will keep some acidity!
    So for most of your testing you didn't notice much of a difference? I thought you did mention it's usually smoother?
    I think your WDT tool could be better, the widely available cheap or self printable 'peoples WDT tool' is a nice design because it spreads the needles out a bit more, I also don't put a needle in the center part, that way no bunching /clumping the coffee together.
    I have a few videos talking about my tool / WDT choices I think :D

    Have you considered tinkering with the grain size when you blindshake?

You could really experiment in this direction and it would be superbly interesting.

"Will their children need to beg on the streets in China with the abandonment of WDT?" Oh the humanity of it all. Such sadness. Instead of "shaking" vs using WDT, perhaps we should return to the really important oft repeated medieval question still needing an answer, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"
