{"product_id":"varia-orbi-distributor-58mm","title":"Varia ORBI Distributor 58 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost uneven espresso shots are decided before the water ever arrives. Ground coffee lands in the basket as a little hill, and tamping straight onto it just presses the hill flat at a slant. The Varia ORBI Distributor deals with the bit in between: set its 58 mm face to the depth you want, give it a turn, and three angled blades sweep the coffee into a flat, even bed that's ready for the tamper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preorder-note\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ORBI Distributor is on pre-order, so you can order it now even while it shows 0 in stock. We expect to ship it from our warehouse in Denmark in November 2026. You pay at checkout as usual, and we'll email you as soon as yours is on its way.

If one side of the bed is looser or higher than the other, that's where the shot rushes through while the rest stays under-extracted. A distributor doesn't replace your tamper. It gives the tamper a level, consistent surface, so the tamp presses straight down instead of locking in a slope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree angled blades\u003c\/strong\u003e – Turn the distributor over the grounds and the blades spread the coffee across the basket and smooth the top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth you set once\u003c\/strong\u003e – The threaded top section raises or lowers the 58 mm distribution face.
