Know before you buy
The patented GLS ensures the tamper remains perfectly parallel to the coffee bed throughout the entire stroke. This prevents uneven tamping, which is a primary cause of channeling and inconsistent espresso extraction.
Yes, the PT2 allows for precise pressure adjustments ranging from 2kg to 38kg. This flexibility lets you dial in the exact force required for different bean densities and roast profiles.
The PT2 comes with a standard 58.3mm tamper diameter, which is compatible with most professional-grade 58mm portafilter baskets. We recommend verifying your specific basket size to ensure a snug fit for optimal results.
The single, double, and triple tamp programming allows you to perform multiple presses in one cycle. This helps remove trapped air and settles the coffee grounds more effectively than a single press, leading to a more uniform puck.
The tamper head features a specialized non-stick coating that resists both static and moisture. This prevents coffee grounds from clinging to the surface, making it easy to wipe clean between uses.
Yes, the PT2 is built with a durable cast-alloy housing and features stable suction cup feet. These design elements ensure the unit stays firmly in place on your counter, even during rapid, repetitive tamping cycles.
