The best way to redistribute your coffee grinds and ensure the best extraction with your Gaggia Classic

Ensuring that your grinds are light, fluffy and well distributed is a key aspect of puck preparation.  "Shaking" the output from your grinder, before placing redistributed grinds into your portafilter REALLY helps with overall shot quality and extraction. 

The Shades Shaker is designed for the Classic's 58mm baskets, and using this high quality anodized black aluminium tool (often in addition to some light WDT afterwards) helps you to fully redistribute fines, reduce static, increase "fluffiness" and better homogenise the grinds - which decreases the chance of channelling, and plays a big part in increasing extraction yields of your shots.

We've been using one of these for a few months - and the consistency and quality of our shots has definitely improved.  Join other home baristas in discovering the benefits of shaking as part of your puck prep and workflow process.

The Shades Shaker is around 75mm tall, and 75mm diameter, weighing approx 220g
