Know before you buy
The 58.5mm diameter is designed for precision-fit baskets, such as VST or IMS, which are slightly wider than standard stock baskets. If you are using a standard commercial or home machine basket, please verify your basket's specific diameter to ensure a snug fit without sticking.
The depth adjuster allows you to set a fixed compression point, ensuring that your coffee bed is compressed to the exact same depth every time. Once you calibrate it to your preferred dose, you simply press down until the collar hits the rim of the basket for perfectly uniform pressure.
A 90-degree edge ensures the tamper covers the entire surface area of the basket, including the hard-to-reach corners. This prevents 'side-wall channeling,' where water bypasses the coffee puck, resulting in a more even and balanced extraction.
Yes, the stainless steel handle is ergonomically weighted and modular, providing a solid, balanced feel in the hand. Its design is intended to reduce wrist strain, making it a reliable choice for both home enthusiasts and busy baristas.
Yes, the Pesado tamper features a modular design. This allows you to unscrew the handle from the base, giving you the flexibility to swap it out for other Pesado handle styles if you decide to change your setup's aesthetic in the future.
