Know before you buy
This tool is designed for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. If your machine uses a different size, such as 53mm or 54mm, this tamper will not fit correctly and will not provide an even tamp.
You can adjust the depth by unscrewing the handle cover to loosen the locking mechanism. Once loosened, you can rotate the base to your desired depth and tighten it back into place to secure your settings.
Yes, this is a dual-purpose set. The distribution side helps level your coffee grounds to prevent channeling, while the palm tamper side ensures a consistent, compressed puck for extraction.
At approximately 650g, this tool provides a substantial, high-quality feel. The weight helps apply consistent pressure, making it easier to achieve a level puck without needing excessive force.
Wipe the stainless steel base with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use to remove coffee oils and grounds. Avoid submerging the tool in water or using harsh abrasives to preserve the finish of the aluminum handle.
