I did a test comparing tapping, doing nothing, and OCD-ing. We measured TDS and tasted everything blind.

Tapping tasted best every time.  
Doing nothing tasted awful.  
OCD tasted better than nothing, but there was obvious unevenness.

I want to test more, but haven’t had the time. I’m truly sceptical as to wether it can achieve better results than tapping. **Maybe** it could achieve parity if the coffee was well distributed before using the tool, but doesn’t that defeat the purpose??
