Know before you buy
Yes, this levelling tamper is designed to fit both the standard and Barista models of the Cafelat Robot perfectly.
The unique leaf pattern on the base allows air to flow during the tamping process, which prevents the vacuum effect that can sometimes lift your coffee grounds when you remove the tamper.
The tamper is engineered to self-level. Because of the CNC-milled POM centering section, it naturally aligns within the basket, making it much easier to achieve a perfectly flat coffee bed compared to a standard handheld tamper.
The base is made from precision-cast 304 stainless steel, while the handle combines CNC-machined aluminum with a food-grade POM centering section for durability and balance.
The tapered edge is specifically designed to minimize friction and suction against the basket walls, ensuring that your coffee puck remains undisturbed when you lift the tamper.
