Know before you buy
This tamper is designed for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. Please verify your machine's basket size, as some brands use non-standard diameters that may cause the tamper to fit too loosely or not at all.
No, the handle and base on this model are not interchangeable with other tamper brands or models. It is designed as a single, cohesive unit.
The handle is finished for durability, but you should avoid submerging it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the natural wood grain.
This tamper features a precision-engineered flat stainless steel base. A flat base is generally preferred for achieving an even, level puck and preventing channeling during extraction.
The tamper weighs 292g, which provides a substantial, high-quality feel without being overly heavy. The ergonomic shape is balanced to help you apply consistent pressure during your tamping routine.
