Our long-awaited solution to the espresso grind distribution problem. A hand-powered WDT tool built for speed and durability.

The AutoComb spins 12 carefully arranged needles at high speed. This movement mechanically fluidised the grinds organising them into a fluffy and homogenous mass ready for tamping.

1. It consistently distributes grinds very well; no matter how they started or who’s using the tool.
2. It’s built for brutal hospitality environments.
3. The entire process takes less than 5 seconds.

Testimonials from WBC Competitors

Don’t take our word for it. Anthony Douglas used it to win the 2022 WBC. Ben Put and Jack Simpson just used it to win their respective 2023 National Barista Championships.

We sent some units out to a few of this year’s WBC competitors, for free, with no obligations to use it. Here’s what they have to say:

Australia - Jack Simpson
“After trying countless distribution methods, the Autocomb is hands down the best I’ve tried”

UK - Ian Kissick
“The Autocomb is, by a mile, my favourite distribution tool. It is fantastic for competition - and has made my preparations for WBC so much easier - but I think its real value will be in the cafe.”

Romania - Katy Szasz
“As a competitor in the barista championship, autocomb made my espresso more consistent and more sweet. And yes 100% they will make all your shots way better in the cafe everyday”.

Guatemala - Paulo Melendez

“The tool is amazing!! Honestly it is the most consistent tool I have used so far.”

Greece - Nikos Santzaras.

“I really love how it works and distribute the particles by braking the clumps. Also it helps the coffee to degas and to release faster the CO2 from the coffee grounds.”

Indonesia - Patrik Vinsensius

“It greatly distributes the coffee ground and it’s very easy to use, the circular motion is satisfying, quite addicting I would say.”

Germany - Ella Simon

“As a Barista I think it’s important to guarantee a consistency in cup quality - so my guests will always enjoy their coffee with me.

So I need good and reliable tools like the bh autocomb. It helps me speed up my workflow while distributing the coffee particles well which results in an even extraction and tasty espresso.”

Saudi Arabia - Ahmad Bahaa

“The tool is really awesome”. “With just 3 rotations I'm able to distribute the entire bed of coffee from top to bottom: breaking up any clumps, ensuring an even density, and providing more flavour clarity”

Czech - Denis Kramf

“AutoComb quickly became one of my favourite tools in my routine! It is consistent and clean. It both save the time and enhance the distribution quality!”
