Know before you buy
This tamper is designed for precision baskets that require a 58.5mm diameter. It is ideal for high-end precision filter baskets like VST or IMS, but may be too large for standard stock baskets that typically require a 58mm tamper.
To preserve the wood's natural finish, avoid soaking the handle in water or placing it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately; you can occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to maintain its luster.
The Cafelat Zebra Wood Tamper features a perfectly flat stainless steel base. This design is preferred for achieving an even, level puck, which helps prevent channeling during extraction.
At 292g, this tamper provides a substantial, balanced feel that helps you apply consistent pressure without needing to exert excessive force. The weight is distributed to ensure the base remains stable and level while you tamp.
The protective seat provides a dedicated, stable resting place for your tamper when not in use. It prevents the stainless steel base from getting scratched or damaged and protects your countertop surfaces.
