Know before you buy
This tamper is specifically engineered for Lelit 58mm portafilters. While it may physically fit other 58mm baskets, the precision fit is optimized for Lelit equipment to ensure consistent, level extraction.
The integrated angle adjustment rings help you maintain a perfectly horizontal tamp every time. By providing tactile feedback and stability, they prevent the common issue of uneven coffee beds that lead to channeling.
The 'Mouth' design is a specialized geometry that reduces suction when you lift the tamper from the coffee puck. This prevents the tamper from pulling up grounds or disturbing the bed, ensuring a clean, undisturbed surface before you start your shot.
Yes, ash wood is a dense, resilient hardwood known for its durability and comfortable grip. With standard care—avoiding soaking it in water—the handle will maintain its integrity and aesthetic appeal over years of daily espresso preparation.
The stainless steel base is highly resistant to corrosion and easy to clean. Simply wipe it with a damp cloth after use to remove any residual coffee oils and keep the surface smooth for optimal contact.
